This spring, we started feeding birds to have a little more company around the apartment. Many of them accepted the invitation… To the point that we have to fill the feeder twice a day to please our feathery friends. Our front balcony has really become the neighbourhood’s party place! But my favorites, (don’t tell…… Continue reading Squirrel me this, squirrel me that…
Today is La St-Jean (sorry, I am not translating this), Québec’s national holiday. It is also Sankt Hans in Denmark, a major holiday celebrating summer solstice, longest day of the year, and shortest night. Is there better reason to pop open a bottle of fine local sparkling wine? Hoping my Skål traveled all the way…… Continue reading After Eight Moments…
Three months ago, when the governement sent most of us home with not the slighest idea when it’d be safe to get out again, I remember telling my little brother “Now that we’re in lockdown, I bet we’ll have the greatest summer EVER, weather-wise… Mark my words!” And boy, was I right!! June’s weather,…… Continue reading You have to be kiddin’ me!
Don’t you miss The soft whisper Of my sweet summer Wits? My secret glares, My unlikely kindred References to a world That is no more? Don’t you miss My squirrel thoughts, Or were they rhino’s? Dreams meant only To be dreamt, Times only To be imagined. Places unexplored Playgrounds offered, But only If you…… Continue reading Do you?
Yesterday we had our fifth Skypy Sunday Chat Session. I know I should have posted this earlier, but life just was against me, today. (Dang Murphy!) First of all, Mondays are usually a day off for me, ever since I accepted to take the day shift at work. But not today… No no no…… Continue reading A jolly good time!
Happy Sunday, Lovelies! I hope you had a good week. It’s now time to gather and have a little ”live” chat. Like last week, I have prepared a Skype link (just below the telephone) and the cyber-room will be ready for anyone who’d like to join in, in about 5 hours. At that time, just…… Continue reading Skypy Sunday!
I love cooking. But I get how some people prefer to keep out of the kitchen unless they absolutely need to get something on their plate. Cooking can be long and complicated, but sometimes, it just doesn’t have to! And this is why I decided to share this recipe I just tried. First,…… Continue reading You can thank me later…
Happy Saturday Lovelies! This weekend, I’ll be hosting my fifth Skypy Sunday. What’s that, you might wonder? Sunday around noon, I’ll publish a post with the link to a virtual conference room, where you are invited to join me for a little chat later on, that day. Some of you suggested that a personal…… Continue reading You’re invited!
This will be short. We are all well aware of the recent ”Black Lives Matter” tsunami. Although the timing is less than perfect (social distancing and major protests aren’t very good friends, in my book) and the reason it started is absolutely revolting, I think that it is, after all, a good thing. Racism…… Continue reading White.
I don’t want to look like I’m praising myself, but I really like this photo, taken on Bondi Beach, in Australia. I love the mirror effect of the blue of the sea and the sky, and the whiteness of the clouds and the sand. I also love catching strangers without them knowing. To me,…… Continue reading Surfin’ Paradise…
