Weather, biking…

Thunder stom last night. Heavy rain this morning. The snow isn’t far! Then I, Frimousse, and my friend RouXy, we’ve decided to stay inside for a while. RouXy, on the bed, in the friends’ bedroom, and I, Frimousse, upstairs.

It’s dry now – not for long according to the radar – then my Master has decided to set up the cover of the tomato greenhouse. While I inspect my garden.

A few days ago I told what the bike rider, aka the 14-year-old Master of Jump did. Last Sunday he did it again. But with his father this time. A 90-kilometer ride with Grand Colombier – 19% gradient for some distance – and la la Chambotte.  D’you think he’ll ride Tour de France next month ? But he has something else in mind: running a full marathon. My Master is trying to find an interesting one in Switzerland  since in France they check your ID to make sure you’re not under age – young people can easily drink beer or Red Bull, smoke fags and ride their mopeds dangerously, but for sport! “Crazy,” my Master says!

Sunshine, cold wind, and lamb…

Sunshine yesterday afternoon but a brisk cold wind. I’m in what used to be a trough, a long time ago. My friend RouXy is half asleep in front of the wood logs.

My Master has found an article on the website of the French daily newspaper Libération. A bit long to be translated – my Master would do it for you if you asked him – but the subtitles are rather easy to understand. Then answer this question : “Some more Irish stew?”

It’s HERE.
