Rain. Play was suspended again for most of the day with only an hour or so played in the afternoon.

Hey, you’re in Paris, so do a little sightseeing! Nope. When play is suspended, verses being cancelled outright, you cannot leave the venue. You try and find anything to do to kill time. Shoot a few weather features. Walk through the gift shop for the tenth time. Pester the editor. You get the idea. And there is absolutely no place comfortable to sit at a sporting event.

But I could be sitting in an office somewhere. Life is good.
