Strange weather, strange mood...

Strange weather this morning: I,m not sure if it's going to be fine or if it's going to rain. There are clouds, but the sun seems to want to get through. We're suppose to learn today where we're going for our "on site" training. As I mentioned previously they were having trouble finding enough... Sign in to see full entry.

Bears, bears, bears and more bears...I can't bear seeing more bears...

We are surrounded by bears! Or so it seems. There are presently at least 4 bears on the property: one mommy with her cub, one medium size (probably less than 2 years old) and a big one! Two of them were in one crabapple tree in front of the house this afternoon and another one (the medium size) ran... Sign in to see full entry.

A rest, a trip and a job

Ha...So good to be able to stay in bed to read for a few minutes before getting up this morning! You see, I don't have my usual course of Friday morning today, and thus, start only at 10! What a relief it is to start late once in a while! I feel like I'm in vacation, even if it is only for 1 and a... Sign in to see full entry.

Judo, Dojo & Son

OK, it's done: I gave the letter to the director today. 50+ students signed it, even some students who are not in my classes! They heard of it from their friends. Now will sit and wait. Maybe something will happen out of it, maybe not but at least we tried! Still have lots to do and prepare, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Discrimination

It seems that every course has a "second" little work to be done soon but we still don't have much explanation about these "second" work. The teachers told us about the first and the third homeworks (or team work) in details but it is usually when re-reading their course résumé that we find out... Sign in to see full entry.

Nice weekend!

I had a very nice weekend: Son stayed at the apartment for a party and thus, it was only my Mann and I! We went for a 10 km walk around the lake, had a nice picnic in the sun on its shore, rent a movie WE like (nothing with zombies, for once!), ate late with a glass of wine....Perfect! And on...

Son: my big Baby!

You never know what you're going to read in the news when you open your comfuser, do you? This morning has to be one of the strangest I read for a while: an Indonesian woman have gave birth to a 10 kg (over 20 lbs) baby! I've heard of 10 lbs (4.5 kg) babies before, but 10 Kg? The pic of this baby... Sign in to see full entry.

Hot September and multi-nationalities

It's incredible: middle of September and it's still over 25oC! We had a bit of rain, but still: close to 30 at this time of year! Some of the immigrants from warm countries in my classes start to doubt us when we tell them that real fall is much colder than that, usually, and that winter is, kinda,...

Son and I and School!

Hopefully Son is going back to school tomorrow. Today, he said that he succeeded to reach the bus stop but felt so bad he had to come back! On the other hand, he was able to eat some chicken for souper, so his gums are not as swollen and sensitive as before. I don't have much time to work on... Sign in to see full entry.

The bear, the woodpecker and the geese

First of all, Son is doing much better and will probably go to school tomorrow. Good! As i am still looking for a safe biking path to the Uni, I decided this morning that walking would be a good way to find out about it. So, I walk. It took me about 30 min (I stop for a few min. to take a photo of... Sign in to see full entry.
