So this weekend we've had 3 big concerts in the church square of the village and the main street has been lined with stalls selling barbecued food and lashings of alcohol. Jaki and I went out on Saturday to see Peter Colours but one of the band was ill so they couldn't make it so The Blues Mafia stepped in at the last minute to save the day.
The village was packed and chaos reigned as only so many cars can squeeze into the limited spaces available. Fortunately our local police and civil protection were out in force gabbing to all their mates so motorists could pretty well do as they wished - just like any other day.
So, last night Los Fulanos came to town, an eight piece Latin Soul outfit who kept the crowd warm on a bitterly cold night (no less than 14 mountain passes are closed today because of snow) when the wind howled down clear across the Med from the Alps. Just to make sure I sank 8 fingers of Dr. J&B's anti cold remedy as an antidote to the ice cool beer I'd drunk from a wet glass! 
It was too cold for Jaki last night so I recreated it for her this morning by opening the window wide to let the howling wind in, put Tito Puente's 'I Like it like That' on the stereo and gave her a slide show of the photos I took.
You can actually listen to the band via their own blog
