The Village DRAGONFEST!

Although the temperature hovered around -15oC, it was a beautiful sunny day yesterday. A perfect day for the Annual winter party of the village. Son was feeling better but not good enough yet to come with us spend all afternoon in the cold. So, we left him at home coughing and went to the village.... Sign in to see full entry.

Carrot-ginger soup and Retour of the Mann

Two subjects today, two for the price of one! LOL First of all: my Mann's back from Germany and Denmark. He arrived late last night and is exhausted but happy with the work done over there. He also bought two nice bottles of champagne, one of which is a Moët & Chandon (at 30 euros a bottle is a good... Sign in to see full entry.

A Feeding War Strategy!

We're back home with slow-net. I don't know if it is because of slow-net, but I just couldn't leave any comments yesterday on blogit. As Son couldn't go to his outdoor activity camp on Friday (today), we decided to leave yesterday morning to go back home. It's like going back to the cottage: it has... Sign in to see full entry.

Living in a multi-ethnic habitation

I'm not sure why this makes me uncomfortable, even a little angry. We live, during the weekdays, in a big apartment building in Ottawa. I would call it a multi-ehtnic habitation: there are people here from North America, Europe, North Africa, Asia and India. Many of them are "fresh" from their own... Sign in to see full entry.

Up date on the third-hand smoker affair

I had a talk with the "front desk" rental company's person yesterday and they did send someone to have a look at the cigarette smoke affair. There was a big hole in the wall where the calorifer passes through from one apartment to the next. The man in charge of maintenance patched that hole with a... Sign in to see full entry.

A third-hand smoker and a pee

I'm starting a war against our rental company! Well, not exactly a war, but pressure to get them to find a solution to our biggest problem with this apartment. Cigarette smoke! Have you heard about third-hand smoke and the fact that it can be dangerous to your health, and most certainly to kids... Sign in to see full entry.

Fashion Section on Blogit!

Hi everyone! It seems that my little shopping spree inspired a few people! I'm not very good at describing clothing but I'll try (as for pics, sorry but I do not have the "deluxe" blogit option!LOL). So the clothing: First of all, I bought 3 shirts for the price of one! They are fashionable shirts... Sign in to see full entry.

An Energy Boost!

I went for a little "energy boost" yesterday evening! As you know all (and thanks for your cheerful comments!) I have hibernation disorder in winter: I NEED my pillow! Forget about sex, love, food, etc. A pillow, please!!! But yesterday, while son was at the dojo for his judo, I decided to pay... Sign in to see full entry.

In hope of Spring!

Am I the only one who feels like not doing much at the moment? I don't feel like writing anything at all (even though I did add 3 more pages to my web-site outdoor section about camping, sailing and gardening, journey-to-germany ), or going out to walk the dog, or anything. I think it's the lack of... Sign in to see full entry.

A BIG change in my life!

Went to have my eyes check yesterday. For the first in my life. It seems that I've been using too much the comfuser since 2007 because my faraway eyesight is down by 10%. So, I'll need a pair of glasses to relax my eyes when reading and for comfuser work. Hopefully, relaxing my eyes when looking... Sign in to see full entry.
