Third day of my dearest Festival, and I was well rested as I rode the Métro once again to see what was up today. The past years, we had several rooms where different movies, short films and documentaries were presented simultanously.

Yesterday, the weather was beautiful, chéri was at work and I thought I’d go for a walk downtown and bring you along. I had to go pick up my Montréal World Film Festival passport, so I packed up my bag and left home without looking back. This is a must if you want to get…… Continue reading If you came to Montréal… (3)

We can take all the backstreets, with their tiny fenced backyards and their stray cats passing by… We can…… Continue reading These shoes are made for walking…
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)
Last time I met with Lucas (made up name, I am tired of “my Danish tutor” or “my Danish teacher”), we talked about Babettes gæstebud, a Danish classic movie. I didn’t know it was also a book, writen by Karen Blixen (Out of Africa… ringing a bell?). Lucas told me it was a very short…… Continue reading Babettes gæstebud…
I was walking home after work and I thought I would treat you with a few pictures of the damage left by this year’s first snow storm. Keep in mind that 48 hours ago, there was no snow at all… 🙂 Pray not to be in a rush to leave… First snow of the…… Continue reading The white stuff… The damage.
