\nThe fish have adapted well to their new home. Capturing them wasn’t easy, they didn\u2019t like the net or the brief stay in a bucket, but now they appreciate being able to hide. The cats in the vicinity were very disappointed when the pond was empty, now they watch again for what passes within reach.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

La pand\u00e9mie a chang\u00e9 beaucoup de choses\u00a0: Paul et moi partons souvent en voyage en septembre parce qu\u2019il y a moins \u00e0 faire au jardin et que les sites \u00e0 visiter sont plus tranquilles. Cette ann\u00e9e nous sommes ind\u00e9cis. Une \u00e9vidence, nous ne franchirons pas de fronti\u00e8re. Alors, partir o\u00f9, et combien de temps\u00a0?<\/strong>
\nThe pandemic has changed a lot of things: Paul and I often go on trips in September because there is less to do in the garden and the places to visit are quieter. This year we are undecided. Obviously, we will not cross a border. So, where to go and for how long?\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

La pr\u00e9sence de Lolo \u00e9tait pourtant tellement pratique\u00a0! Nous pouvions lui confier les derniers arrosages, les derni\u00e8res cueillettes, lui demander de nourrir madame la Chatte. Mais trop d\u2019incertitudes nous d\u00e9motivent, entre les bruits les plus extravagants, complot mondial ou autre joyeuset\u00e9, et l\u2019\u00e9vidence des carences de notre pays. <\/strong>
\nLolo’s presence was however so practical! We could entrust him with the last watering, the last picking, ask him to feed Madame la Chatte (Lady Cat). But too many uncertainties demotivate us, between the most extravagant rumors, global conspiracy or whatnot, and the obvious shortcomings of our country.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lib\u00e9 annonce la d\u00e9mission du docteur Maurice Raphael, chef du service des urgences du CHU Kremlin-Bic\u00eatre<\/a>. \u00ab\u00a0Je ne vais pas mourir \u00e0 la t\u00e2che et dans l\u2019indiff\u00e9rence de l\u2019administration.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> Le personnel hospitalier n\u2019a pas vu d\u2019am\u00e9lioration de ses d\u00e9sastreuses conditions de travail, rien n\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait non plus ni pour accueillir les malades, ni pour les soigner au besoin en service de r\u00e9animation, on continue au contraire \u00e0 supprimer des lits d\u2019h\u00f4pital. <\/strong>

\nLib\u00e9 announces the resignation of Doctor Maurice Raphael, head of the emergency department of the CHU Kremlin-Bic\u00eatre<\/a>. \u00ab\u00a0I am not going to die of the task while the administration remains indifferent. \u00bb<\/em> The hospital staff have not seen any improvement in their disastrous working conditions, nothing has been done either to welcome the sick, or to treat them if necessary in the intensive care unit, on the contrary they continue to eliminate hospital beds.<\/strong><\/span>

Le climat\u00a0: un autre probl\u00e8me gravissime qui devrait \u00eatre prioritaire. J\u2019ai pris l\u2019habitude de parler de \u00ab\u00a0d\u00e9r\u00e8glement climatique\u00a0\u00bb plut\u00f4t que de \u00ab\u00a0r\u00e9chauffement\u00a0\u00bb, car d\u00e8s qu\u2019il fait froid un discours imb\u00e9cile remet le probl\u00e8me en question.

\nThe climate: another extremely serious problem that should be a priority. I have gotten into the habit of talking about \u00ab\u00a0climate change\u00a0\u00bb rather than \u00ab\u00a0warming,\u00a0\u00bb because as soon as it gets cold a foolish speech calls the problem into question. Yet it is global warming that is already killing, and will make new parts of the planet uninhabitable.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

En tapant \u00ab\u00a0mourir de chaud\u00a0\u00bb, on trouve d\u2019innombrables r\u00e9ponses \u00e0 pourquoi et comment on meurt \u00e0 cause d\u2019un exc\u00e8s de chaleur. Par exemple sur le site \u00ab\u00a0Numerama\u00a0\u00bb<\/a> que je ne connaissais pas. Ou encore sur celui de \u00ab\u00a0National Geographic\u00a0\u00bb<\/a>, qui parle de chaleur meurtri\u00e8re m\u00eame sous une temp\u00e9rature un peu moins \u00e9lev\u00e9e, en cas de tr\u00e8s forte humidit\u00e9.

\nBy typing \u00ab\u00a0hot to death\u00a0\u00bb, there are countless answers to why and how you die from excess heat. For example on the \u00ab\u00a0Numerama\u00a0\u00bb site<\/a> which I did not know. Or on that of \u00ab\u00a0National Geographic\u00a0\u00bb<\/a>, which speaks of deadly heat even under a slightly lower temperature, in case of very high humidity.

Je n\u2019ai pas de mots pour qualifier l\u2019indiff\u00e9rence criminelle de nos dirigeants. Leur cynisme impudique. Leur incapacit\u00e9 \u00e0 revoir les priorit\u00e9s. J\u2019imagine que la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 des vrais probl\u00e8mes finira par leur sauter \u00e0 la figure, mais de quelle situation dramatique vont-ils h\u00e9riter\u00a0? Leur restera-t-il une marge de man\u0153uvre\u00a0?<\/strong>
\nI have no words to qualify the criminal indifference of our leaders. Their shameless cynicism. Their inability to revisit priorities. I imagine that the reality of the real problems will eventually jump in their face, but what dire situation will they inherit? Will they have flexibility ?\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je lorgne avec envie du c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l\u2019Italie\u00a0: Walter Ricciardi r\u00e9pond aux questions de l\u2019Obs<\/a>\u00a0:<\/strong>
\nI eye with envy on the side of Italy: Walter Ricciardi answers the questions of the Obs<\/a>:<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00ab\u00a0(\u2026) Je sais que l\u2019Italie n\u2019a pas une image de pays rigoureux. Mais cette id\u00e9e re\u00e7ue sous-estime un \u00e9l\u00e9ment essentiel\u00a0: dans les situations d\u2019urgence nos concitoyens ont prouv\u00e9 qu\u2019ils savaient affronter les probl\u00e8mes avec fermet\u00e9 et un certain sens du sacrifice.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0(\u2026) I know that Italy does not have the reputation of a harsh country. But this misconception underestimates an essential element: in emergency situations our fellow citizens have proven that they know how to face problems with firmness and a certain sense of sacrifice.\u00a0\u00bb\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je m\u2019\u00e9tais promis de rester centr\u00e9e sur ici, sur nous et maintenant. Mais les probl\u00e8mes que j\u2019\u00e9voque sont li\u00e9s \u00e0 notre quotidien, ils restent pr\u00e9sents \u00e0 l\u2019esprit sous leur forme angoissante, et parler de nous, c\u2019est les \u00e9voquer aussi, in\u00e9vitablement.<\/strong>
\nI promised myself to stay focused on here, on us and now. But the problems I am talking about are linked to our daily lives, they remain in our minds in their distressing form, and to speak of us is to evoke them too, inevitably.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

M\u00eame si cela fait bizarre de mettre en parall\u00e8le le petit confort de nos petits voyages tranquilles et les probl\u00e8mes plan\u00e9taires. Allez-vous trouver futile notre pr\u00e9occupation\u00a0?<\/strong>
\nEven if it feels weird to compare the small comfort of our little quiet trips and the planetary problems. Will you find our concern futile?\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cela dit, je pense avoir clairement fait comprendre pourquoi nous ne bougeons pas trop de chez nous.<\/strong>
\nHaving said that, I think I made it clear why we are not moving too much from home.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Le 17 septembre, il fait encore 30\u00b0C le jour et 20\u00b0C la nuit. Pourtant nous recommen\u00e7ons de tranquilles petites balades en v\u00e9lo. C\u2019est ainsi que je remarque ce panneau \u00e9trange\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0danger, nid de frelons.\u00a0\u00bb Alors que Paul file devant, j\u2019examine ce qui ressemble \u00e0 des champignons. Ce nid est magnifique. Cet arbre, je le connais, on se salue chaque fois que je passe par l\u00e0. Il a perdu l\u2019an dernier l\u2019\u00e9norme branche qui a laiss\u00e9 un emplacement id\u00e9al pour les frelons.<\/strong>
\nOn September 17, it\u2019s still 30 \u00b0 C during the day and 20 \u00b0 C at night. However we start again quiet little bike rides. This is how I notice this strange sign: \u00ab\u00a0Danger, hornet’s nest.\u00a0\u00bb As Paul continues to pedal, I examine what looks like mushrooms. This nest is magnificent. This tree, I know it, we greet each other every time I pass by. He lost the huge branch last year that left a great place for hornets.<\/strong><\/span>

Le 23 septembre, nous allons \u00e0 Sablonni\u00e8res, v\u00eatus de t-shirt. Les fortes chaleurs baissent et on peut p\u00e9daler un peu \u00e0 n\u2019importe quelle heure. Deux jours plus tard, j\u2019enfile en plus un sous-v\u00eatement chaud, un sweat et un coupe-vent – je ne le regrette pas. Ce jour-l\u00e0, apr\u00e8s quelques kilom\u00e8tres, nous nous abritons sous un lavoir providentiel alors que quelques gr\u00ealons commencent \u00e0 tomber. Cependant tout est calme et je m\u2019en veux un peu d\u2019avoir coup\u00e9 notre \u00e9lan.<\/strong>
\nOn September 23, we go to Sablonni\u00e8res, dressed in t-shirts. The hot temperatures drop and you can pedal a bit at any time. Two days later, I put on an additional underwear, sweatshirt and windbreaker – I don\u2019t regret it. That day, after a few kilometers, we take shelter under a providential washhouse while some hailstones begin to fall. However, everything is calm and I am a little angry for having cut off our momentum.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Puis l\u2019averse se d\u00e9cha\u00eene, un peu de gr\u00eale, suivie d\u2019une averse tr\u00e8s violente. Cela ne tarde pas \u00e0 se calmer et nous repartons. M\u00e9pieu, Faverges, Le Devin, la viarhona\u2026 Un obstacle nous barre la route, un gros arbre tomb\u00e9 depuis peu de temps. Nous portons nos pesantes machines, en nous aidant, et avec quelques difficult\u00e9s. Seul, il aurait fallu faire demi-tour.<\/strong>
\nThen the downpour breaks out, a little hail, followed by a very heavy downpour. It does not take long to calm down and we leave. M\u00e9pieu, Faverges, Le Devin, la viarhona\u2026 An obstacle stands in our way, a large tree that has recently fallen. We carry our heavy bikes, helping us, and with some difficulty. Alone, I would have had to turn back.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Rentr\u00e9s \u00e0 la maison, les vacances finies pour aujourd\u2019hui, nous pr\u00e9parons quelques kilos de l\u00e9gumes pour le cong\u00e9lateur, ratatouilles et haricots.<\/strong>
\nBack home, the holidays over for today, we prepare a few kilos of vegetables for the freezer, ratatouilles and beans.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Les temp\u00e9ratures trop hautes pour la saison basculent d\u2019un coup dans l\u2019exc\u00e8s inverse. Il faut mettre le chauffage en marche le 27, moins d\u2019une semaine apr\u00e8s la balade en t-shirt. Apr\u00e8s une s\u00e9cheresse dramatique o\u00f9 nous avons commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 mesurer les arrosages, il nous faut gaspiller l\u2019eau. En r\u00e9alit\u00e9 c\u2019est l\u2019occasion de d\u00e9verser un m\u00e8tre cube ici ou l\u00e0 au pied d\u2019un arbre. Le niveau de la mare atteint son maximum. Les poissons ont froid et se cachent. J\u2019esp\u00e8re pouvoir les nourrir de temps en temps pour les aider \u00e0 passer l\u2019hiver.<\/strong>
\nTemperatures that were too high for the season suddenly swung in the opposite direction. The heat should be turned on on the 27th, less than a week after the t-shirt ride. After a dramatic drought where we started to measure the waterings, we have to waste water. In reality, it is an opportunity to dump a cubic meter here or there at the foot of a tree. The level of the pond reaches its maximum. The fish are cold and hide. I hope I can feed them from time to time to help them get through the winter.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je pars en exp\u00e9dition photo, avec dans l\u2019id\u00e9e de vous proposer au moins une goutte de pluie sur chaque clich\u00e9. Le dipelta<\/em> et l\u2019arbre aux faisans refleurissent mais jusqu\u2019o\u00f9 cela ira-t-il\u00a0? Apr\u00e8s tout, j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 une violette fleurie l\u2019an dernier, le 10 octobre. J\u2019ai surveill\u00e9 l\u2019arbre aux faisans dont nous aimons beaucoup les fruits minuscules, au go\u00fbt de caramel br\u00fbl\u00e9. Mais cette ann\u00e9e, les fruits ont fl\u00e9tri sans passer par l\u2019\u00e9tape \u00ab\u00a0d\u00e9lice\u00a0\u00bb.<\/strong>
\nI go on a photo expedition, with the idea of giving you at least one raindrop on each shot. The dipelta<\/em> and the pheasant tree are blooming again, but how far will it go? After all, I found a flowering violet last year, October 10th. I watched the pheasant tree, whose tiny, burnt caramel-flavored fruits we love. But this year, the fruits withered without going through the \u00ab\u00a0delight\u00a0\u00bb stage.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Notre richesse en eau est limit\u00e9e quand c\u2019est le plein \u00e9t\u00e9, le d\u00e9bit de la source a \u00e9t\u00e9 particuli\u00e8rement bas le 15 ao\u00fbt. Aujourd\u2019hui bien s\u00fbr il n\u2019y a plus de probl\u00e8me de d\u00e9bit, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019ann\u00e9e prochaine je pense. Il faudrait bien plus que nos cuves pour constituer un immense r\u00e9servoir qui permettrait de mieux r\u00e9partir cette richesse. La question de l\u2019eau n\u2019est pas encore r\u00e9gl\u00e9e pour cette ann\u00e9e et ne le sera sans doute jamais puisque maintenant, il faut r\u00e9gler l\u2019exc\u00e9dent. L\u2019arbre aux faisans parmi d\u2019autres en a fait les frais avec ses fruits rat\u00e9s.<\/strong>
\nOur water wealth is limited when it is midsummer, the spring flow was particularly low on August 15th. Today of course there is no more problem with the flow, until next year I think. It would take much more than our tanks to constitute an immense reservoir which would allow a better distribution of this wealth. The water issue has not yet been settled for this year and probably never will be, since now we have to deal with the surplus. The pheasant tree among others suffered with its failed fruits.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
