The future

Every day there are news items about rivers bursting their banks and floods all over France but in this department, it still remains very dry. Last winter there was little snow on Canigou and this year, so far, it is the same. There are plenty of cacti in the mountains and also in the village. I have a very large one outside the front door. I can only imagine that if the climate changes permanently in this department, we will see more and more. This year there have been no flowers in the municipal beds and the council has been criticised by the auditors for using too much water to maintain the status of a Village Fleuri. Maybe in future those beds will be full of succulents and cacti. 
The men's team had a practice this morning during which I tweaked my back. I was able to continue playing but was a little restricted. I hope it will all feel better tomorrow morning as we are supposed to be out walking.
