Frozen Loire

I had the day off on Friday, which I promptly wasted by helping someone move. Sucker! It was meant to take a couple of hours, which it did - if by couple, you mean 7... I hope the gods of moving karma were looking down on this event! At least it was crisp and sunny instead of snowing, and - bonus - I got to see inside my first HLM (State/council housing). Engrenages led me to believe it would be a den of drug dealing, murder and prostitution. There was a mysterious yellow puddle in the stairwell, but otherwise it seemed basic but decent. Where can I sign up?

My good deed done for the week (year?), on Saturday I made it down to the Loire to take some photos (along with everyone in Tours and their dog, it seemed). The Loire is much more frozen than the Cher - I think cos it's shallower?? (I'm not even 100% sure it is shallower, looks it though, especially at the moment.) We're probably all sick of snow photos, so good news - although it did actually snow again a little bit overnight, temperatures are rising. When I got up this morning and saw it was 0 degrees, I thought spring had arrived!
