You're right we've got hard, cold wind -- le vent d'autan which comes to us from the Mediterranean. I was out in it all afternoon gardening, (right, yes, because I didn't want to see France beat Wales in Cardiff... No, in fact because a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do when the weather permits).
Now I think I'll watch England/Ireland that has started.
I sensed that this time around a lot of older people were here, as the students must have been tired after their own demonstration on Thursday. Besides the weather sucked, so that would have discouraged a lot of people (ie. 2 friends who were supposed to go with me changed their mind when they saw droplets of rain and heavy clouds and wind).
Altogether 1 145 000 in the streets of France, according to AFP.
About the match, Wales was supposed to win, they were robbed of a well-deserved victory by the video referee.
The video ref didn't steal the last-minute Irish victory, though. That was good.
