Cabin Fever and snowshoeing

I was starting to feel "cabin fever", so I decided to go for a walk with the dog. I put my snowshoes on and went out in the snow. And what a snow fall we had yesterday! I'll say about 25 (about 10 inches)cm in total. Even with my snowshoes I had trouble to make way and the dog was not keen at first... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm in the S..t!

I went to my "annual" check-up and fund out that my last one was in 2006. Which makes sense as we left for Germany in 2007 and came back only in 2008. But because I have some "digestive tract" problems since we came back, the doctor asked for more than the usual blood and urine sample, if you see... Sign in to see full entry.

A "nothing" day

The day was beautiful, sunny and not too cold. Not even windy a bit. Yet, no Freeman today. Surely, he must have seen my Mann departure last night. And the smoke out of the cheminee this morning. Yet, no Freeman today. Is he gone visiting his brother? Is he gone to his shack somewhere north of here?... Sign in to see full entry.

Egyptian IMAX movie, a résumé

So, we finally went to see the Egyptian Mummies IMAX movie! There was also a temporary exhibit about Egypt and mummies in the Museum and as we were a bit early for the movie, we went to see it. It was a rather well done exhibit, with all kind of little bits of info that we didn't know. Such as; Did... Sign in to see full entry.

Snowshoeing in the gentle snowfall

Finally, yesterday, instead of going to the movie, we decided to go showshoeing in the fields and in the forest on our land. As the forest is boarded on one side by a road and on the three others by fields, it is almost impossible to get lost and therefore great fun to just go anywhere you feel...

Résumé of New Year's eve!

We had a great time! Some friends and their kids arrived at about 6:30pm for diner and stayed with us until past midnight, while others arrived just a few minutes before midnight, just on time for the Moët et Chandon! My Mann was pleased with the duck and the pie and the company! Funnily enough, he... Sign in to see full entry.

Should I go for money? for glory? for fun? for enjoyment? I think I'll do as naut says: I'll sleep on it! In the mean time, I have... Sign in to see full entry.

The "in-between" feeling

I feel like I'm waiting for something. You know, as if I was in between projects and couldn't really make my mind about what to do? I know that I should be writing for trazzler.com (even if they don't give me a cent it's a good way to be known), and I'm still writing articles about Germany and... Sign in to see full entry.

Quick visit to Québec city

We're back from Québec city! It was fun: the first day after arriving, we went to slide in the biggest, highest, sliding slopes ever! With big rubber tubes (like inside tires) but also with a zodiac (rafting on snowy slopes) and a round kind of zodiac that turns and turns until you are dizzy from... Sign in to see full entry.

See you soon..

Hallo All! Just a short note to let you know that I think the exam went well (although it was more administrative language than true English!), I finished baking the goodies and making the chocolate truffles (all sold out and could have sell more!!), I have not seen Freeman since Monday (hopefully...
