Monday morning. Frimousse would have written :
It is raining.
On Saturday morning, the sun was shining. My Mistress went running for about an hour, downthere, on the lakeside. My Master went with her. They locked me in the house, with my friend RouXy – both of them would not have left if RouXy had not been in the house too.
Yesterday it rained practically all day. During the Saturday to Sunday night, the Master of Jump – the son of my Master, the dad of the little Masters of Jump – ran Saintélyon. A race that starts in Saint-Etienne at midnight and arrives in Lyon “some” hours later. It took him ten hours and a half. Rain, mud and cold. He is very satisfied. Therefore my Mistress decided to go for a run at about 2 in the afternoon, in the rain – which is very rare. No problem since I, Frimousse, and my friend RouXy, were sleeping in front of the stove.
My Master says that it is necessary to enjoy life before the inevitable civil war if 80 % of sensible people continue to support a handful of [expletive deleted]. Fortunately, I shall not live that, below my grass, in my garden.

staying indoors by a nice warm stove seems like the best way possible to deal with a rainy crazy world
Here – where we live – things are a bit quieter. There’s no Arc de Triomphe to spoil. what amazes me is the number of people who say they are supporting the troubles. Well, the French are even more stupid than I thought…
Ah Frimousse – there are many things in our country that we are worried abut too, So glad all your runners returned safe !
A lot of people here want a remake of 1968. But they forget the differences between fifty years ago and 2018.
In 1968 everybody behaved as if ressources was unlimited – energy, raw materials, commodities, etc. And now we know it is not true.
France is a member of the Eurozone. The country cannot spend as much as it want without being fined by the other members, or expelled. And leaving the Eurozoine would mean a huge drop of our standard of living – with petrol 15 to 20 % dearer (New Franc/$ compare to €/$).
France was supposed to be in the front row as far as fighting global warning was concerned. But if the so-called yellow jackets get what they want, we’ll be in the same positionas the US ! And they will get that since 75 % of the population seem to agree with them….
The use of our planet like there is no end must stop but it seems all want the neighbor to cut back while still going on as if nothing happened. Humans have been like this since we began it seems. I would hope if the cats ran things it would be different.

Of course! Unfortunately they don’t.
