I think we had all given up the idea of having an Indian summer this year… I don’t remember ever experiencing one in November before. But this weekend, the temperature rose back close to 20 degrees Celsius (68 F) and the weather should stay that way for about a week. We’ll take every minute…… Continue reading Été Indien…
But when Chéri and I spend 15$ at Walmart for silly costumes, just to make a couple of people smile, I agree to make an exception… And you know the saying… ”Always be yourself, unless you can be a unicorn… Then, always be a unicorn!” That’s until I can be a genuine Viking. I’m working…… Continue reading I don’t do selfies…
I try my best not to blog about covid-19… I know it is useless to rant about it, because we are (literally) all in the same boat. Whining is futile, and quite honestly, I think that everybody is tired to read about it. I am too. But it makes me really angry when I see…… Continue reading I’m in…
Montréal’s sky used to be filled with airplanes passing by, from early mornings to late evenings… I always enjoyed watching them fly above my head. I tried to guess where they were coming from or where they were headed to. Often, I wished I could magically hop in and tag along, no matter the…… Continue reading It is kind of sad…
Roses are red Violets are blue The second wave’s hitting But here are my fall’s colors just for you! Today’s numbers are quite discouraging, and I really don’t have much to say. There is a second lockdown smell in the air. To be quite honest, it wouldn’t change my daily routine much, but I’m thinking…… Continue reading Colorful…
Here in Montréal, the Olympic Stadium is one of, if not the most iconic building. Built for the 1976 summer olympic games, its story has always been wrapped in controversy. First of all because of the astronomical amount of money that has been spent to build it, and then keep it standing. The general opinion…… Continue reading Iconic…
Happy Sunday Lovelies, As you might know, due to recent work schedule changes, I’ve moved my weekly Skypy sessions to Friday nights. I hope you’ll tag along, because it is always so nice to catch up with you ”live”! As for today, I am getting ready to go to the Montréal Biodôme, an indoor zoo.…… Continue reading No Skypy Sunday…
One of the things that has made my life more interesting since Chéri and I locked ourselves in our apartment, is bird watching. Now, to be honest, that’s pretty much 95% of sparrow-watching. Which can seem not so exciting. At the beginning of the summer, my wish was to get a cardinal to visit…… Continue reading Blue…
Noon is always a busy time Chez Cyranny. But when it’s raining, it seems like the whole sparrow community agrees that it the place to be. (When I took the picture, there were about twenty more little fellows on the balcony itself) I am kind of worried for my feathery friends. We first hung…… Continue reading Lunch time!
I am twisting the rules tonight. My post is not really about any advice, but about the most inspiring thing I ever heard, that has to do with my writing. The lady above is Miss Amélie Nothomb. Amélie is without the shadow of a doubt my favorite author of all times. She is absolutely…… Continue reading The best writing advice I ever heard…
