Quiet few days chez nous, but elsewhere in France the noise level rises. Fishermen on strike and blocking ports, general transport strike yesterday, pensioners and teachers still protesting, etc, etc...
The strike in Lyon yesterday was only partial, which meant la bienheureuse only had to cope with overpacked metros rather than none at all. Meanwhile, les marins-pêcheurs are still not happy, despite some government concessions on Wednesday to help with fuel costs.
We are keeping fingers crossed that Calais remains open, at least till Saturday afternoon, because les amis J&C are ferrying over in the morning. La bienheureuse has taken a couple of days off next week so that we can meet up with them in the Camargue for a few days. The weather forecast suggests we might spend the holiday indoors. Summer is definitely taking its time in arriving, though ironically today it's a lovely day in Lyon...
