Today I was in Bordeaux working (up at 05:15) and had intended to head off to the Atlantic coast for the afternoon, when a huge storm broke - which altered my plans, as I had no waterproof gear with me.

So I didn't go to the sea - and This is why ... I'll try and share a little bit of French culture on my blip via music and maybe a bit of humor - if that would be interesting for you ... a little peek-let into some things that you may not have heard ...

It was fascinating watching this spider weave its intricate web, but difficult to keep it in focus as it busied itself from branch-to-branch.

I hope you have a good Monday :)
