The mild sunny weather has returned and we took advantage yesterday, with a stroll around the park, broken up by a pleasant outdoor lunch in the Musée d'Art Contemporain café. Lovely colours, lovely food.
Minor downside of the weekend was provided by football. Lyon crashed to defeat in Nice, and a late Sunday afternoon in the pub watching the English version of the game was spoilt by the final fifteen minutes at Upton Park. Ah well, still three quarters of the season to go.
The big game of the weekend in France between sworn enemies Marseille and PSG was postponed because of an outbreak of swine flu amongst the Parisian players. Much polemic today, invoked by the late decision which meant several hundred PSG fans arrived in Marseille with no match to watch. Result: running battles with rival hooligans and police.
