We are now back home and the vacation seems like a dream, in the face of the reality of a house not cleaned in almost three weeks. My daughter had decided to park her bike in the dining room for the week that she was here on her own and my son, who was in […]
It hasn’t really stopped raining, I think we’re just getting used to it and we have been able to walk around Paris a whole lot, without getting too wet, so I’m not complaining. I just find people’s perspectives on the weather amusing. My son quite enjoys it. He finds that it adds to the atmosphere
OK I know that I probably should have written 30ºC and climbing but 90 seemed much more emphatic and emphasis was my goal, yesterday anyway!! Monday started out as a normal Monday. Maybe this is a contradiction in terms, what Monday is ever normal? This one by all accounts should have been. You see it
Left hand turns, while driving, a car can be tricky!! I remember chatting to people who had just learned to drive and laughing at the circuitous routes they took to get from A to B, in order to avoid a left hand turn. Driving is supposed to speed things up. I could have walked there
I did one of those personality tests on FB and failed!! How can you fail a personality test? Does that mean that you have no personality? Here’s what happened. First, I love the colour red. My last two cars have been red, which means that I have been driving a red car for the last

As I drove home along King St., I took pictures, while stopped at various traffic lights along the way. Here they are. As you can see there are a lot of boom cranes around. Toronto
I live in the city, where parking is the equivalent of big game hunting!!! First, finding a parking space can be very dangerous. You drive down (or up) a busy main street simultaneously looking for parking spots on both sides of the street. This means that your head swings regularly from side to side and
OK, I know that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. Why, everyone in the world knows that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. The irony here is, that for all the years that I have endured my sprawling, pugilistic, Irish Catholic family, I have never been invited to walk in the
I went for a three mile walk on Friday. It was -13ºC, but it was brilliantly sunny with no wind. There, I had to qualify my walk or people might think that I’m more than a little insane. Somehow I couldn’t just say that I didn’t mind walking, even though it was bitterly cold. Maybe
