Christmas music #6

Something of a surprise to see Elon Musk show up at the re-consecration of Notre Dame. Does he have a house in the 16th or does he take over a floor in the Rosewood ? Travelling when you're the worlds wealthiest man can't be easy.

The weather may be wet and windy in Paris but here it's worse and most definitely not a day to linger outside. The sea below the last wee house before Denmark  churned into a fury by a 90 mph wind blowing from the North. The wind doesn't often blow directly from the North but when it does you know it. The power in the house goes off but is restored again ten minutes later. The Waitrose man arrives in his truck with the fortnightly delivery but the wind is too strong for us to open the garage doors. He leaves everything in the courtyard where it will stay until the weather is calmer.

Town completely empty. Even the hardiest of locals have opted to stay indoors until the gale dies down. All the coffee shops are open and the tables occupied by serious looking young women peering at their laptops. It would seem that male students don't appear before seven am. Make of that what you will. On the basis of this completely unscientific sample it would seem that exams seem to impact the genders differently.

The Christmas theme remains dominant ( and inescapable ) at the bakers.

'The Font' has found a new supplier of Christmas chocolates :https://www.gorvettandstone.com  They have a fun factor.

There was a time when playing the Old Course in reverse was a thing. This ancient practice seems to have fallen out of use but is coming back again.  I'm betting the 3 days in April when you have the chance to play the reversed route will be extremely popular with Pebble Beach golfers looking for the ultimate bragging experience.
