It snowed today here, well, near here, way up in the Mountains, which to my delight we can see. For us down on the coast, the day was full of heavy drizzles and driven light rains with temperatures in the very upper teens (readers from the USA, here is a helpful conversion guide for you. I invented it myself! Double your Celsius number and then subtract 10 percent. Then add 32 (the ice number!). Et voila! You have the big F. So, 19 degrees Celsius, doubled, is 38, minus, say, 4 (no need to get too fancy), 34, plus 32: 66!). This rain was a trial for us as we were off on a apartment visit that involved wandering outside for hours. But the ocean in the storm was mad with color, and incredible, and when the storm broke apart in the late afternoon the sky was dramatic and even gave us some rainbow.
Once we were safe at home I got a picture or two, which, converted to my current style of choice, the diorama, gives a feel for it. Because its name shows up below, Mandelieu la Napoule is the next town up from here on the way to Cannes, a bit bigger and sits on the sea, in below these mountains in our view.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
