I read this morning that today is black monday (best said in a Darth Vador kind of voice) because it's the begining of the week after Consummermas, where we're, you're (nuance) getting it together after the hang over, the days are still short, the summer holidays are a millenium of days away and .... bébé, it's cooooooooooooold outside ;@)

Justement !!

For all the years that i've been here, i can only remember one time when it snowed at this time of year and even then, it was way out in the countryside and on the 31st of december, to boot

About ten of us had spent the evening eating, having a really great time (apart from the guy who kept complaining that the food just wasn't quite upto his sniffy standards) slowly and pleasurably getting drunk on champagne until finally someone said that they needed to really go outside ..

Who then came rushing back in, not even 1 nanosecond later, throwing snowballs at everyone and everything that moved (even the cats, the fucker) extatically crying "ooohh pt'aing il neige"

So, then, today, in the heart of Paname ... we've had snow !!!
