First snow

Wednesday 16. 11. 22 Had our first real snow this morning. The beginning of winter.

Another face from the past

Wednesday 26. 10. 22 Went over to Christie St on the TTC this morning to meet up with Ingrid who had recently got in touch. We hadn’t met for 50 years when we both worked at newpress. We both enjoyed catching up and will see each other again soon. Ingrid is the one on the left.

Fall in Canada

Sunday 16. 10. 22 Flew in yesterday. Very comfortable AF flights with wheelchair across CDG.
Julia picked me up at Pearson. Slept well. This morning went to YMCA near Julia’s to check out facilities and then went for a walk to Scarboro Bluffs with Julia and Alex. The Fall colours were beautiful.

Au revoir, à bientôt

Friday 14. 10. 22 Today was my last Franglais for a while. I am flying back to Toronto tomorrow. 
À la prochaine mes amis!

Thumbs up!

Thursday 06. 10. 22. Today I walked to Dr Angus in Nebian which took about 50 minutes! I was too tired to walk back so I hitched a lift from a very nice man from the Haute Savoie who had been visiting his mother. I haven’t hitchhiked for over 60 years!

Chez Claire

Tuesday 04. 10. 22 Had a delicious lunch chez Claire yesterday. She showed me these necklaces which are her latest creations. If anyone is interested get in touch with Claire at claireberanger@free.fr

Aix en Provence

Thursday 18. 08. 22 Julia, Alex and I drove over to Aix. We had hoped to see Paul Cezanne’s atelier but it was all booked. We did to watch the video though. Everywhere was very crowded.

New wheels

Tuesday 02. 08. 22 Saw this three-wheeler this morning when I was en route to the supermarket. I don’t think I would have any balancing problems driving it, altho I might have other problems! But it would be fun.

Thursday 28. 07. 22 Went down to Le Charleston this evening to hear Bertrand’s group play. Bertrand and Christelle are friends from St Medard. Christelle is the one raising her glass. They are friends of M—P and Olivier. I watched their gig with Annie and Martine from Franglais. It was great.

An exciting day

Wednesday 27. 07. 22 It has been quite a busy day today. I fell over whilst walking over to see Dr Angus to renew my prescription. He patched me up. I met Jacqui chez lui and we then drove to Beziers where we had a leisurely dinner in the Allées and then went and saw the lights. A wonderful display as always.
