I like Fandango. The good man is cool, brilliant, funny, creative and seems to spend all of his time on The Internets… What’s not to like about him as a blogger, right? I like his weekly invitations, such as the Fandango Friday Flashback and Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge. I just can’t turn down his requests, and today he…… Continue reading On the street where I live…
Dear US, Just a short note to tell you that I’m not too impressed with you, lately… It sadens me, because I dearly love many of your people. But you’re not being fairplay, and knowing how things are going all around the world, you should be ashamed of yourself. Yesterday, the news reported that…… Continue reading Bad neighbour… Bad!!
This morning, I woke up to the sound of Canadian geese flying over our home. It is that time of year, when the geese fly back home (they are Canadien, after all). Some could think the honking is a disturbance, especially when you are sleeping in. The big birds are loud, and a whole…… Continue reading Where are them humans??
Ça va bien aller! French for ”It’s going to be ok!”, it quickly has become Québec’s new motto. Tomorrow will be the one month ”anniversary” of the first case of covid-19 in the province. Within only four weeks, we moved from what we used to call normal life, to this eerie reality, with Montréal…… Continue reading Alone… Together!
As much as I am pretty proud of people’s general reaction to our Prime Minister’s request that we shouldn’t leave our homes unless absolutely necessary… I am scared that springtime will lure some of us away from safety. So you can imagine how I appreciated the view today. Mother Nature has sent some snow,…… Continue reading Let it snow…
Home. It never felt more safe. Never, ever. Not even the shadow of a doubt… Since we came back to Canada, I focused on preparing Chéri and I for some kind of self-quarantine. I think most people in Québec understand the importance of temporarely isolating ourselves from strangers. Lucky for us. And it explains why…… Continue reading Home sweet home.
I had vowed not to write about covid-19… Everybody’s talking about it, and all around the world, things are moving quickly. Here, in Québec, the government is taking the pandemic very seriously, which is reassuring to me. Living in Montréal, Québec’s most populous city, we’ll probably see the worst of the epidemic. It isn’t…… Continue reading Panic button…
Two days ago, when I posted a short video at the beginning of our last snow storm, Trina commented ”Send it over to me”. Being the generous person that I am, I figured that a small cardboard box full of the white stuff would be a little cheap. Trina is a good friend, and we’re not short…… Continue reading You want some snow?
As I am spending the evening catching up on comments (yeah, that’s going to take a while… LOL), Mother Nature has decided to greet us with yet another layer of the white stuff. We are expecting something between 15 and 20 centimeters during the night. I thought I’d make a short clip but I think…… Continue reading Welcome to Freezingland!
Doo, doo doo… During winter, here, the sky is almost always covered with a thick blanket of grey clouds. I won’t complain, since the temperature is usually warmer (exactly the effect a blanket should have, wouldn’t you say?). So when the sun suddenly peeks out, we all turn towards it, like winter sunflowers, reaching…… Continue reading Here comes the sun…
