Last October 22nd, first melting snow...

The cold is settled since two weeks or so, and we had snow few days ago. Late in the evening so cannot take any picture and it didn't hold on the ground for the temperature is over 0 degree Celcius.

2 weeks ago, we've travelling and spend our long weekend in the USA, NYC.

Autumn/Fall 2009 in Canada

Already my 5th Fall season, time goes by so fast that when people ask me how long I've been living here in Canada, especially in Montreal, I used to answer it's "only" 3 or 4 years ;-)

If I correctly count, I came here in June 2005, that makes 4 years and about 4 months...

Let me share you my last trip, time of a short weekend with few people of an association for french speaking immigrants people like me and of which I've been part of since late 2005. The trip offered me the chance to sleep in a tipi (amerindian tent), visit a wild animals museum, visit a National Park of Canada in Quebec, have an indian diner, flight abord a hydroplane and watch beautiful autumn colors.

Winter Ended, Spring is there and it's still Cold somedays

Hello everyone,

Winter finally gets to its end few weeks ago. It kid of snowed few days ago but beautiful and sunny days are often there.

World Crisis took some time to reach the company where I work and it finally happens. Last Tuesday was a black Tuesday for 7 of my colleagues were "forced" to quit the boat, one in a row. Some of them are good fellas to me and it was sad to see them go, without warning, by surprise as it obviously happens here in North America. I'm from France, a country where such a thing never happens for the time I was living there, that shocked me a lot.

Anyway, life still goes on and I try to keep contact with some of them and I'm sure something better is right ahead for them and they will move on.

As to me, life is calm and everything is going fine. There're good and bad days but in general, it's OK and I'm getting along...

Hope you are OK too.

Take care and enjoy Spring.

Latest News from Montreal, Winter 2008-2009

It's been a while since my last post.

My life becomes almost calm and a routine.

We, me and my girlfriend, are settled down in a nice little appartment, not far away from a subway station on foot, fifteen minutes away from downtown and a little bit more from my work place, less than one hour to her school for her Design classes.

This winter has lots of snow, the weather is often cold (between minus 15 and 30 Celcius) but nothing unbearable if you are dressed warm enough. To illustrate what I meant, some pictures for you here:

2008-2009 Winter

Hope you are all well and wish you all the Best for this New Year 2009 (never too late).

Take care.
