… is definitely here now, just as I predicted last weekend that it would be.<\/p>\n

Freezing cold, damp grey and depressing with hardly a drop of sunshine.<\/p>\n

I was up before the alarm, which makes quite a change for just recently, and in Montlucon for the shops quite early. Disappointingly there was nothing that was exciting there and I spent almost nothing. Just a few Louis de Funes DVDs reduced in the Auchan.<\/p>\n

But while I was in the Auchan in the TV section you couldn’t move for people watching the televisions. France was playing England in the rugby and had a pretty comfortable victory, much to the delight of everyone (including Yours Truly) in the shop. <\/p>\n

I had to visit Monsieur Bricolage as well and they had two things that caught my eye – a two-storey wooden cabin – a display model – reduced to \u20ac5000 which is cheap, and also a small wood stove with a kind-of top oven for \u20ac275 – and I was sorely tempted by that.<\/p>\n

The swimming baths at Neris-les-Bains has been taken by surprise by the cold spell. They didn’t have the heating on and so we all froze to death in the pool – all 10 of us in there. That’s a far cry from last week when it was packed out to the gunwhales.<\/p>\n

\"football<\/a>At\u00a0 the footy, Pionsat’s 2nd XI played Aigueperse and won 2-1 in a hard-fought match. <\/p>\n

In the first half they were all over the opposition and should have had a hat-full but in the 2nd half they went to sleep as usual and allowed the opposition back into the game. And they would have struggled if their opponents hadn’t missed a penalty.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

>We had a floodlight failure too for about 20 minutes, to add some spice to the entertainment.<\/p>\n

Overall, what with all of the drizzle it was all quite a depressing day. A foretaste of things to come, I reckon
