… day today.<\/p>\n
Which, after the hectic weekend I had last weekend, is no surprise.<\/p>\n
For most of the day I was writing the scripts for the next few months-worth of radio programmes.And Liz and I will be spending most of our time talking rubbish. <\/p>\n
I know that that\u2019s what we usually do, but this time we mean it. <\/p>\n
I was at a loss as to what subject to choose, but then on Tuesday I received my Puy-de-D\u00f4me en Mouvement magazine in which one of the topics was the Departement\u2019s plan to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.<\/p>\n
Then on Thursday I received my monthly magazine from the Bank, in which one of the topics was donating unwanted goods to charities and good homes. A subject therefore immediately suggested itself<\/p>\n
What with my thesis for my Open University Diploma in Pollution Control where I wrote about waste and landfills, I\u2019m perfectly qualified to talk rubbish and many people have suggested that I’ve had plenty of practice over the years, so that was that.<\/p>\n
I had an interruption at midday on Saturday for a shopping expedition to St Eloy-les-Mines where I spent nothing exceptional and bought nothing exciting, but that was that.<\/p>\n
Saturday night was football. <\/p>\n
Not at Pionsat as the Puy-de-D\u00f4me football leagues are on a winter break – and doesn\u2019t this weather make a mockery of the idea of a winter break? Six weeks with no footy in the Puy-de-D\u00f4me with some of the mildest weather I have ever had in winter, and when the season restarts next weekend \u2013 just you watch _ we\u2019ll be snowed in for a month!<\/p>\n
Instead, I was at Marcillat just across the border in the Allier where their 1st XI took on Chantelle. This was a match that is nominally in a division one step higher than FC Pionsat St Hilaire\u2019s 1st XI but the standard of football in the Allier is total rubbish and it was an appalling match.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure why I bothered.<\/p>\n
