Forgot the aftermath: damages are estimated at nearly €1 million, beyond half a dozen cars, a tram and two buses were damaged. But the clean-up of the roads (less so the sidewalks) was largely finished by the morning rush-hour. The place of the final battle - the barricade last night, the sidewalk and the bridge this morning:

BTW, one of the wounded foreigners was a French guy from Marseille, who was totally drunk, took part in building the barricade, then was beaten up by police. (Alex, where are you?)

I think Alex is here:

DoDo, the server your images are coming from seems to be stuck or slow. I'm having trouble getting the pics, including loading the front page.

I've just been struggling to get my blog up, now that it's up and running, I can spend one hour a day on it and no more, so I'm back for contributions to ET.

I was also wondering how to link to ET from my blog, I have yet to create a suitable category for it and other forums/blogs that people should visit (I don't want to give too many links, and I also don't want to give too few, so I'm debating with myself how best to do it ... whatever the outcome ET will be in those links, which will be vastly useful when my blog will be read by 2 billion people each day).

But I'm going to have to forfeit the "Superconcise look at France this week" series, because regularity on two different sites is too much for me to do, and besides my blog is already a sort of superconcise look at France, in a way. But that doesn't mean I won't be writing diaries here, just not writing diaries with strict regularity.
