A quiet week on the home front, apart from a series of spectacular thunderstorms, one of which threw enough water against the front windows to cause one of them to leak. Otherwise, for me it's been gradual recuperation from holiday and settling down to work. For la bienheureuse, less recuperation, more work. She came back to 3 days of meetings, one of which included the necessity to conceive and compère a work-based version of Qui Veut Gagner des Millions. Seems the game was a hit, so a career in television beckons.
Elsewhere, France is back at work and back at school. Minor revolution on the latter front with the doing away with Saturday morning lessons. Which means French school children only get four days of school a week, as they still get Wednesdays off. Alright for some. Though in fact a lot of them do extra-curricular activities at school on Wednesdays and the number of hours of school per week has supposedly remained unchanged.
