In the Limelight

15.3.15:
Apart from going to the bar this morning for a coffee, we spent the day by the fire with the tv and Sunday papers. Talking of which, there were two photos of yours truly, in the "Indépendant", the local paper. One with the carnival group; the second with the other  two winners of the raffle last Sunday.
Weather:
10° Overcast with drizzle and light winds


14.3.15:
Didn't bother with the market this morning and just contented ourselves with a coffee at the bar. The only other thing that we did was to attend a talk about the resistance/escapee network in the village. interesting even though the researcher wasn't very well organised. Of course, was only a partial picture and there are still lots of unanswered questions; collaboration still remains a sensitive subject.
Weather:
12° cloudy
In the News:
Cyclone Pam hit Vanautu with winds of up to 340km/h!


13.3.15:
Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, I went for a late coffee at the bar. Despite the work going on at the old Mairie, next door, it was relaxing and great to feel the sun. Christian came along later after a stint at the (new) Mairie and we felt so good  that rather than go home, we opted to have lunch there. A bit excessive as we were booked at the restaurant in the evening but it was such a pleasure that we couldn't have any regrets.
We were right to make the most of the sun as by the time Michel dropped in for a cuppa, it had started to rain. All that vitamin "D" worked wonders on the brain cells as our team (+ Jean-Jacques and Jacques) won the cinema quiz at the restaurant! Or maybe it was the killer dessert, a mousse of two different types of chocolate and a very rich fudgy sauce.Who says that Friday, 13th is unlucky?
Weather:
18° Sun with rain later
