Don't mention le foot...

Lovely spell of crisp, sunny winter weather in Lyon at the moment. Otherwise it's been a couple of days with little to write home about. Quiet on the home front with la bienheureuse away in Germany. Fortunately I decided not to bother with the trek to the pub on Tuesday to watch the poorer relatives of Norf London finally succeed, at the 22nd attempt, in beating their more successful neighbours. Beating a 2nd choice selection of their neighbours, anyway.

Somewhat more successful evening yesterday, when I trundled along to Stade Gerland to watch OL get back to winning ways. After a bit of a wobble (1 win in 5 league games, plus a defeat in the league cup - sound familiar?), les lyonnais found a bit of form again and produced a decent performance for the first time in a while.

Meanwhile I await the return of the family breadwinner (still suffering from cold/flu symptoms) and the arrival of guests prior to the skiing trip, which starts on Sunday. Je m'impatiente...
