Well things really kicked off in Paris. 3,000 police (the ones you don't mess with), MPs demonstrating in front of the Assembly building, reporters sans frontiers unfurling banners on the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame that showed the Olmpic rings as handcuffs, the flame being put out and then it was all aboard the bus. The Chinese apparently seemed to be the ones calling the shots which hardly seems normal and there were quite a few arrests and cracked heads. Does this mean that Sarko will lose the order for the nuclear power station he sold only a couple of months ago?
Meanwhile here, the weather is warmer and grandad's spade was put to work clearing out the irrigation channels. This evening Christian is off at a council meeting and tomorrow we escape ....
Comment: Glad your back 'on air' again. I'd assumed you'd gone to Paris for the free Tibet demo. It's strange how the BBC reported that in London, although there were only a few hundred demonstrators, the Olympic torch was successfully carried through the streets and the police behaved very well. Whereas today's BBC news about you awful French putting out the flame and then not be able to continue with the procession shows what a bad lot you are. I assume French t.v. have given an exact opposite report (Edofglasgow)
