\"puy<\/a>It’s absolutely freezing outside. And I mean that too. Minus 1.6\u00b0C outside when I took the stats just now.<\/p>\n

And it’s been cold all day as you can tell by just looking at this photo of the Puy-de-Dome that I took from my usual haunt – the birdwatching site at the back of St Gervais d’Auvergne.<\/p>\n

Winter has arrived, early as we predicted exclusively on these pages just 10 days ago, and we are still in October too.
<\/p>\n

\"puy<\/a>And just look over there at the Puy de Sancy and the Mont Dore. It’s more like Mont Blac over there right now. And those heavy clouds are threatening more punishment<\/p>\n

And the snow isn’t just scattered over the high ground either. There’s piles of it in the middle distance too.<\/p>\n

When that lot was unleashed last night, we were still on SUMMER time would you believe. The weather has gone totally crazy.
<\/p>\n

So this morning with the extra hour in bed, I was up and about at 09:20 and after breakfast and the usual paperwork, I spent a couple of hours doing some housework, cleaning and dusting and the like.<\/p>\n

It’s certainly been such a long time since I’ve done any, and I can actually see some floor now.<\/p>\n

This afternoon I went out to Terjat to watch AS Terjat play Neris les Bains’s 2nd XI. <\/p>\n

An Allier Division 1 match, theoretically the same level at which FC Pionsat St Hilaire’s 1st XI play, but there wasn’t a single player out there whom I would chose for my team. The quality really is quite poor in the Allier. <\/p>\n

Neris-les-Bains are quite high up in the league and AS Terjat are mid-table, yet you wouldn’t have thought so from watching this match. <\/p>\n

The first half with AS Terjat kicking into a howling wind, the match was played mostly in the Terjat half, but Neris-les-Bains were to all intents and purposes clueless in attack. <\/p>\n

In the second half, playing with the wind, AS Terjat scored 2 goals in quick succession and as the wind dropped, Neris-les-Bains scored late in the game, due to a defensive howler in the AS Terjat penalty area.<\/p>\n

fter that I went to Liz and Terry’s to rehearse our Radio Anglais programmes for the coming week. Liz made a lovely tea and I had a nice warm shower for which I was grateful.<\/p>\n

Back here though it’s freezing and I was sorely tempted to light the fire up here. November 17th was the first fire in 2010 – November 27th was the first in 2011,but the first fire in October is just crazy. <\/p>\n

If it’s as cold as this tomorrow and I’m in all evening it will definitely be lit.<\/p>\n
