Sacre bleu! I thought they were just joshing about snow possibly coming. I walked out to buy some of my funny tea at a nearby emporium and was caught in a very damp snow shower. The Montpellierans were cowering in doorways with their hoods up. (I, of course, a rugged Canuck, marched boldly through the blizzard.)
Tea shopping not so successful, however. I had carefully researched it online, found a place very close to us, which had Chinese green tea with jasmine for a price similar to what I pay at home. Perfect. I asked for "thé vert avec jasmine." He showed me one which didn't look like the stuff I'd seen online, so I asked if he had another. He did, and it looked right. I paid by Visa without, in my usual manner, paying proper attention, and got home to discover I'd inadvertently bought premium-quality tea for about three times what I intended to pay. Quel idiot!
We're hunkering down here...
