Summertime digression

Big holidays "dead" period begins after july 14th in France : lots of emptied streets in normal towns becoming mysteriously quiet, vs the crowd with shorts in holiday places (green or sea places). So calm can be an emptied town, a good mood to digress…

Some exceptions this year :
Our new Government keeps on working with new laws voted each day : taxes-pack, penal sanction, universities, new strike-rules in public services, etc… I’m not a specialist but I don’t remember having heard so much law projects adopted at this period, considered as a dead period, and thus often used to fix unpopular decisions, while frenchies are busy with their holidays’ unconcern. The re-entry could be hotter this september !

Another unusual thing is the weather : we’re enjoying a true summer only since last week end. The beginning of july was a moved autumn (we hit a 9°C 10 days ago, before suddenly reaching today’s 30°C temperatures) even on holiday places. Oups for those who hoped to enjoy their yearly big holidays under sun …

Ok, now just for fun : a light & comic “becoming-crazy”-song : Mama Sam by M, alias Mathieu Chedid. Saying his mono-letter artistic name makes you say “aime” = love. He's a kind & sympathic illuminated French musician, good to hear for a change. Sing !
