Let me grunt
Hello everyone! Today, grumbling, complaining, dragging your feet, being in a bad mood, being “fed up” – do you get the idea? – is justified. This January 20 is Blue Monday, THE Monday of depression par excellence. A nickname given in 2005 in the United Kingdom to what generally corresponds to the third Monday in January. The one, far enough away from the holidays so that any hint of magic has vanished but also completely far from spring and the sunny days that we cherish so much. So, two options are available to you: continue to rail or take the bull by the horns by continuing with us, and in song. Hearts up!
Let me freeze
Well, we admit it, it’s not the weather that’s going to give you a boost. Although, we have something to put into perspective: this Monday, even if we will surely have to scrape the windshield, the temperatures will be much lower than just 62 years ago. It will be between 0 and 6°C, where on January 20, 1963, the thermometer showed… -13.1°C! To the point that the fountain at the Bisson school had frozen. We continue to see things positively: it will not rain and the sky will even clear this afternoon. The sun will rise at 8:52 a.m., then set at 5:56 p.m. On the tide side, the sea will be high at 8:19 a.m., coefficient 59, then low at 3:04 p.m.
If you walked around the city center of Lorient this weekend for example, your gaze may have stopped at the front of the Rex, the cinema on rue Paul-Bert, abandoned for more than 20 years. On the building, a giant fresco displaying the smiling face of singer Hervé, a QR code referring to his song “Sémaphore”, from his latest album “Adrénaline”, a lighthouse, the sea… A work by Nybé. An article by Céline Le Strat, which we invite you to read. It will be a subject, happier than complaining, to share with your colleagues early in the morning.
-Let me stop
Sitting on your bar stool, seated at the central island sipping your second hot coffee, you would still have to rush a little if you take the RN165. The traffic jam is already severe: motorists are slowed down for 5.4 km, in the direction of Nantes towards Brest, between Kervignac and Caudan. [Le trafic en temps réel]
Same story on the rails. The train departing from Lorient, towards Quimper, scheduled for 8:06 a.m., is delayed. The reason: “hardware failure”, according to BreizhGo. Meet at 8:50 a.m. on the station platform.
Only one thing to say to you: hold on and wish the Sébastiens around you a happy birthday. They too are probably preparing to spend a groggy Monday.
