It&#8217;s 8 degrees outside and raining. We haven&#8217;t had a dry day since the 20th November, over 2 weeks ago. It has snowed though, so I&#8217;m told. Claude mentioned it the other day and I was totally sceptical except that Terry and Liz have also mentioned it.

There were 3 matches this weekend, the 1st XI away at Lapeyrouse, the 2nd XI away at Beauregard Vendon and the 3rd XI at home to Montfermy. And of the 9 points on offer they managed to get just 1 and to everyone&#8217;s surprise the team that got the point was the 3rd XI. The other 2 lost. What would have been the odds on the 3rd XI getting more points than the other two teams combined? Good for them!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;m going to be fitting the verticals in the stairwell.
