		<description><![CDATA[Some of you will remember that in 2003 France had a major &#8216;canicule&#8217; (heatwave) that lasted for several weeks &#8211; and that an estimated 15,000 people, mostly elderly, died as a result. Following that heatwave, France implemented measures to prevent the same thing happening again.
This week has been very hot in the south of France, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the recent demise of the &#8216;French News&#8217; newspaper, it might seem bold, even reckless, to launch a new newspaper targeted at the same audience just three months later, but that&#8217;s exactly what some brave souls are doing with &#8216;The French Paper&#8217;.
I&#8217;m impressed! Personally I often struggle to think of a couple of blog entries [...]]]></description>

Six months ago I bought a portable PC, which had a lot of technical challenges i.e. didn&#8217;t work. I wrote about the problems at the time because I spent ages on a premium phone line while someone explained [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t seen the Eurovision Song Contest for quite a long time (28 years to be precise, when Bucks Fizz were making their minds up &#8211; I watched because I fancied Cheryl Baker) but was pleased to hear it is still going strong, and to be held in Moscow this year.

It&#8217;s not unheard of for me to grumble about the bureaucracy and costs involved with running a business in France, usually while I dream [...]]]></description>
