The woods around my home were dense and the many trails narrow, I had to take my time to discover bit by bit my new “neighbourhood”. I hadn’t noticed, when I was looking for the perfect place to settle down, just how many other houses stood everywhere. Had I been blinded by my itch to…… Continue reading My glass house (part 2)
I couldn’t let this one go by without mention… Today is Homemade Soup Day! Now I just want to set this straight. For all the non-readers of my blog who might have made links between some of my posts and those of a famous blogger I won’t name (because name dropping is planin bad, because…… Continue reading International day of the day…
I work in the magical sphere of technical support. Meaning I spend a LOT of time on the phone. And there is one thing that has been driving me nuts for years… Let me explain Québec’s area code system… The Province is divided into 4 regions which have a three digits area code. 418 –…… Continue reading Faites (Ne faites pas) le 1 ou le 0…
Just out of bed, with sticky eye corners and all. Sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, thinking how good a millionaire I would be. It is grey outside. Grå. I don’t have a commun disease in Québec, drawing people to keep a close track of the upcoming weather. People here visit weather websites,…… Continue reading Shower day (not international)
Seems my intensive reading tonight has inspired me to write too… So here’s a first attempt. Jeg har hende, du har ham… Hvem er vi, egentlig? Hænder bundet, blindede øjne… Er vi fri? Mange gange omkring hinanden Aldrig samme sted, samme tid Stående i stilhed på søen Håber isen ikke bryder Special thanks…… Continue reading First attempt with Danish poetry…
New Danish lesson next Friday! Yay!! I really have to work on my homework, but something is drawing my attention away from the dictionary; Halfsan Rasmussen’s ABC poems. For people familiar with Mr. Rasmussen, my interest might look a little bit weird. The ABC collection is a bunch of short poems written for young children.…… Continue reading Halfdan Rasmussen…
Groundhog day
Today is International “Baked Alaska day”. I don’t like the idea. I presume we’re not talking about the land, since Alaska is way too big for any oven I’ve seen, even in tv shows and such. (I just Googled “giant oven” and the Internets confirm… Then again, Internets always lie!) So obviously, it must be…… Continue reading International day of the day…
I’ve been saying that a lot lately. When I started working where I work, the department was in serious need of new blood. They were way under staffed, and even after my 6 months training, there was still overtime on the payrolls when I took my place on the schedule. And happened what always happens…… Continue reading I work too much…
Early Sunday morning. Too early. Getting some credits for eventual future crumbles early (See “L’avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt”). Anyway, I thought I’d go for a walk in Skagen… I heard a lot about it and I wanted to get out of town a little. I was about to step on Denmark’s…… Continue reading I just wanted to go walking in Skagen…
