Well, we switched our lights off on Friday evening, and the Basilique de Fourvière illuminations also went off for an hour, but not sure many of our voisins did the same. Power consummation in France went down by just over 1%, which is apparently 800 Megawatt, or about 10 million average light bulbs. Hmm, 1 bulb for every 6th person in France. Respectable? Not very...
As you can tell, it's been a quiet week. The good weather fled several days ago, leaving only internationull football, and a changeable spring. The most exciting event of the weekend was the purchase of some nifty forked flowerpots, which fit over the ornamental railings outside our front windows. We can now amuse ourselves watching plants grow. Better than watching paint dry, anyway.
Actually there was one other bit of mild excitement the other day, when we were subject to an attempted street con involving a fake gold ring. Not quite sure how the arnaque was supposed to pan out, but the perpertrator took fright after we enlisted the aid of another pair of passers-by, and we escaped with wallets intact. Hmm, see...? I seem to have started echoing the complaints of a 14 year-old niece - 'nothing exciting happens'...
