\"HEAVY<\/a>… that those people in football clamouring for a winter break mid-season quite simply don’t have a clue about whatever it is that they are trying to say. <\/p>\n

Here we are in the Puy-de-D\u00f4me, having had our 6-week winter break in the mildest winter in the area since records began, and the football season restarts this evening.<\/p>\n

And today we have had the heaviest snowfall of the winter and so all the matches are postponed.<\/p>\n

So much for the winter break
<\/p>\n

But not that I am complaining too much. I spent the morning and some of the afternoon working on my presentation of The Trans-Labrador Highway<\/a> for the local village social evening in a month’s time. and I’ve managed to reach the outskirts of Goose Bay – i.e. well over halfway. <\/p>\n

It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow anyone any good.<\/p>\n

But at about 13:30 the snow stopped and we had a little thaw. That was the cue for me to race off to St Eloy and so some shopping. <\/p>\n

And I was back by 15:00 with the usual stuff, but also two Harry Potter films, the director’s cut versions, for \u20ac9:99 the pair. I’ll have to see what Herry Potter is up to<\/a> – so far I’ve managed to avoid those films (except for one that I caught a glimpse of – in French – with Marianne over Christmas).<\/p>\n

This afternoon I’ve turned my room around again. I’ve done a lot more sorting out, repositioned the furniture and by the time you read this I will have the bed back where it used to be. Only this time, with a proper array of chests of drawers behind it for the clothes. <\/p>\n

What inspired this was the fact that the new large set that I bought in IKEA in the spring, and the medium sized set that I acquired at a brocante<\/i> 18 months ago fit together nicely and are exactly the right size to fill one of the alcoves.<\/p>\n

But I’m surprised at all of the bedding and stuff that I seem to have acquired since I emptied out Expo. I can see me having a really good sorting out one of these days. <\/p>\n

I’ve left Caliburn on the road at the top of the lane in case the weather continues to turn nasty. From there I can drive him out.<\/p>\n

Because tomorrow afternoon, Terjat, who I saw last Sunday in a basement Allier 3rd Division clash, are at home again. If I can move around, I’ll go for a nosey to see if they really are as bad as they looked last week.<\/p>\n
