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…
Yesterday we had our eighth Skypy Sunday Chat Session. (yes, I’ll soon stop counting!) We’ve been doing this for two months already… Woot woot, us!! Thank you, Suzanne, Jay-lyn, Trina, Simon and Larry, for the visit. The meeting started with a lot of complaining about the (hellish) weather, most of said complaining coming from…… Continue reading Thank you… and you! and you, you and you!
I have a feeling Mother Nature has decided to slow-cook Montréal. This is our fourth 2020 heat wave. (I don’t care if they say it’s only 26 degrees Celscius outside today, when it offically feels like 37C, it counts!!) I won’t complain (much). It is a beautiful summer, with lots of sunshine, and my…… Continue reading Too hot.
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!
Twenty two years ago, Montréal was recovering after the worst natural disaster the province have experienced, ever. The ice storm that lasted almost a week long, and left 100 millimeters of icy rain behind (more than double the average total of icy precipitations for a whole year) paralyzed Montréal and many other cities…… Continue reading We have survived!
Here, in the area, a rainy day always rhymes with snails sightings. I don’t know where they hide when the sky is clear… But judging from the rare snails’ pictures in The Cove this summer, you can guess how lovely (though sometimes awefully hot) the weather has been… And I am not going to…… Continue reading After Eight Moments…
Denmark has a bad reputation when it comes to weather… I won’t deny it, it rains quite a lot, it’s windy and although Vikingland doesn’t get anywhere near as much snow as we do, it’s cold in the winter. But as the Scandinavian saying goes, there’s no bad weather, just bad clothing. (I think it…… Continue reading Random Danish memories…
If you’ve been around The Cove for a while now, you might know about my love for flags. I’ve long given up worrying about statistics, blogging-wise, but I do enjoy a flag check from time to time, to see if any new country has passed by my little corner of The Internets, recently. I have been waiting for…… Continue reading Are you ok, Greenland?
This Which Way challenge is all about capturing the roads, walks, trails, rails, steps, signs, etc. we move from one place to another on. You can walk on them, climb them, drive them, ride on them, as long as the specific way is visible. Any angle of a bridge is acceptable as are any…… Continue reading Which Way Challenge – July 11th
Freezingland is a quite lovely place to spend Winter in. If you like snow, more snow and a little snow on top of it, freezing temperatures and blow-you-off-your-feet winds, that is. I don’t mind all of this, as long as I have a warm blanket waiting for me at home at the end of…… Continue reading Welcome to Freezingland! Part 2
