However genuinely miffed at the sight of Notre-Dame burning the other day, my dark subconscious alter-ego decided this morning that it was time to have another read of Stephen Clarke's 1000 Years of Annoying the French.
I've been quite surprised at the levels of schadenfreude Monday's events have generated, even amongst fellow medievalists.
I'll admit to a little sniggeur myself when I saw Macron turn up on site with his studiously sombre demeanour.
Five years he says - that's rather conveniently around one year more than it will be his problem.
