… or why I feel sorry for the Brits. 1 inch ( in. or " ) = about the width of a thumb = 25.4 mm 12 inches ( ins.) = 1 foot = about the length of a size 10 shoe = 305 mm 3 feet ( ft. ) = 1 yard = [...]
I have been bitten by the travel bug a while ago. Can’t say exactly when, probably around the time I started loving taking pictures of everything around me. You see, I love everything about traveling – the anticipation, the planning, the lists of things to see, places to eat, and activities to take part in, [...]
My dears, I’d like to share with you a few thoughts and pictures from our latest trip to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Montreal. We went to the same festival last year too, but personally I enjoyed this year’s more, despite having had to wait for four hours before the balloons took off. I [...]
(And you can be sure this song will stick to your brain cells like a piece of chewed up gum on hot asphalt!) Now that we’ve moved to the new and improved apartment the distance to my work place has gone from 100 meters to 2 miles, give or take. Which means I must [...]
When we came back from vacation, and our Nice-Montreal flight landed on Canadian soil, the first thing that came to mind as we stepped outside of the airport was “Man, it’s so humid!”.

So we went to see Inception a few weeks ago, when it first came out. Great, great movie, by the way. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself and your imagination a favour and get your butt in a cinema near you! Anyway, what I meant to tell you doesn’t have as much to [...]
D has been testing our new TV & its sound system for two days now. So he’s been playing the beginning of The Clash of the Titans (don’t ask!) for ummm… 10 gazillion times now, especially the intro part when that chick tells us what happened to the Titans and Zeus and the other guys*. [...]
Hello? Can you hear me? Is this thing on? Before you say anything, I know my last post dates back to the first Ice Age. My mind has been in so many places lately, divided between bits of thoughts and worries and various stress causes. And the blog has been neglected. But, BUT! not abandoned. [...]
A better word for bitching. Because, let’s be honest, I am very good at it. The main woe source is the fact that my vacation is over and I’m already planning my next one. Can we fast forward to Christmas break already? As it happens every time I come back from Europe, I am very [...]
Did you know they’ve made a movie after Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, Pray, Love”? I was curious to see who’s playing Felipe’s part. Javier Bardem! [sigh] One more reason to look forward to August…
