Hello everyone! How are you this Boxing Day? We wish good luck to those who return to work this Thursday, December 26, 2024, and a good lie-in to the others. But without forgetting Boxing Day, aka box day. The day after Christmas, domestic staff were allowed to take the day off, and take home a box full of leftovers. If this day is significant in certain English-speaking countries, such as Canada or New Zealand, the traditions associated with it have nevertheless changed. On the program now, sales, fox hunting, football… And, as far as France is concerned, December 26 is a public holiday in Alsace-Moselle, known as the Saint-Étienne public holiday. Happy birthday to Etienne, therefore, and to his derivatives.
It is also the birthday of footballer Hugo Lloris (38 years old) and actors Jared Leto (53 years old) and Timothée Chalamet (29 years old). This news is slightly overshadowed, however, by the anniversary of the discovery of natural radioactivity, December 26, 1898. Thank you, Pierre and Marie Curie!
Today's weather: fog sets in
Gray Brest will live up to its name this Thursday. Like yesterday, the weather will be foggy, with mild temperatures, between 9°C and 11°C, and little wind. Bad weather should not be a problem, to the delight of the people of Brest… and the cherries: “If it rains on Saint Etiole Day, there are no bibles”. [La météo à Brest]
Traffic in real time: very quiet roads and lanes
Welcome back to the roads this Thursday! This will be done smoothly, with very little traffic for a Thursday morning: only Avenue Clemenceau seems congested at the moment. But be careful on the RN165: an abandoned vehicle in Plougastel-Daoulas and a broken down vehicle in Loperhet have been reported. Furthermore, for reasons still unknown, several TER trains were canceled this Thursday morning in Brittany, particularly between Brest and Landerneau.
The last train affected, for the moment, is the Brest-Landerneau at 8:27 a.m. [On vous dit tout]
The best Christmas gift: tickets for the Stade Brestois-Real Madrid match
Students who do not leave the UBO Brest campus during the Christmas holidays, for financial reasons in particular, were spoiled by the Crous on New Year's Eve. Among the gifts placed under the tree, mystery envelopes containing around thirty tickets for the Champions League match between Brest and Real Madrid! [Ils ont décroché le Graal]
Are 24/7 ATMs becoming automatic?
