Changed days

Apart from unloading Maggie's van and putting things from last night back into our cupboard and the left over booze into our cave, to be stored, I hasten to add, yesterday was a lazy day.
Today was busier. Opened up for the Calligraphy workshop at 9am and then had Spanish with Anne. Afterwards we went to meet Anne and Henry for lunch along with David and Laura. There was a biting wind and our two brave Scots have decided to go home a few days early as their house here is too cold! Tea at ours with Annie and Graham was cancelled as they had to stay and deal with a leaky roof. Finally, there was a public meeting organised by the Municipal Police and the Gendarmerie about household security. The area has been hit recently by a wave of burglaries but thankfully, the intruders seem to have moved on to fresh pickings. Once the meeting was over, a supper was laid on for the two speakers and members of the council who were there. I've never been so close to uniforms in my life since Christian has been at the Mairie. I'd never have thought in the 70's while on regular demos that a few decades later I'd be at the same table as 'les forces de l'ordre'!
