Sunny present, sea-and-sandless future...

We're enjoying a lovely sunny period in Lyon at the moment. Almost springlike. Evelyne the weather girl told us last night that it's only fitting, with the metereological end of winter tomorrow. Whatever that is. Actually, she did explain. The French tend to say winter starts on the winter solstice, spring on the spring equinox, and so on. Which has always seemed a bit skewed to me. And Evelyne confirmed last night that the coldest months are December, January and February. Therefore winter ends tomorrow.

Only other non-event of note to report is that I didn't receive an email inviting me to undergo psychometric testing. Therefore I'm not going to make the shortlist for the best job in the world. Ah well, best get back to the writing then...
