Scheduling mystery...

Why do something simple when you can complicate it! I think that this is the motto of the university! It is the third time that they change my schedule for the same course: it went from Tuesday and Friday afternoons, to Wednesday (4 to 7 pm) and Thursday afternoons (4 to 5h30pm) to now, since...

First day back at Uni: pizza and pepsi free!

First day of school: OK. It's going to be tough: about 25 hours of in class courses plus about as many hours of home work per week. I must say that I feel a bit overwhelmed by it all and was wondering "what the H... am I dong here" at one point. What encourage me is to see that I am not the only one... Sign in to see full entry.

The horse shoe tournament!

The horse shoe tournament was great fun! I ended out with another woman in my team: we were the only 2 women team of the whole tournament! the other teams were either 2 men or 1 man and 1 woman (the majority of them). Being only 2 women, I thought that we would have no chances at all in this... Sign in to see full entry.

Horse Shoes and Baked Beans

Tomorrow is the big annual horse shoe tournament of Pike lake! Set in the Gatineau valley, surrounded by high mountains of pines and spruces with a little maple here and there (for colour in the fall!), this little lake is a gem of fresh cool clear water, only 40 minutes or so from Ottawa. There are... Sign in to see full entry.

Passion in Red

I cut the bagel in 2, placed both halves in the toaster, waited until they were toasted and spread some cream cheese on them. I love fresh toasted bagels with cream cheese and summer cucumbers. But what I love even more is... You can buy them any time of year, (or so they would like you to believe)... Sign in to see full entry.

The court Saga continues...

So, we went in court last spring against tenants who at the last minute broke the deal and left us with an empty house and new tenants to find only weeks before our departure for Germany, in 2007! They, of course, didn't show up, and we, having all the necessary documents to make our point, won the... Sign in to see full entry.

A cake in the oven and other mundane acticities..

It's nice to be back in the country home but.... because there is a a big BUT: slow internet! It takes so long to download and open any pages that I have not been reading or writing much this last few days. I'spose I have to get re-use to it, for now, anyhow. As for what next: we're seeing some... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to normal...

We're now back in our country house: the quiet of the place is soothing and calming.I had a good night sleep and would probably have slept longer if my Mann had not called me this morning to let me know that he has arrived at the apartment and was ready to go home; could I please come to pick him...

The Baby factor!

That's it: we're back in Canada! The flight back was not as long as the flight to go to Australia, but somehow, it felt longer. For one thing, we had to wake up at 2h30 am to take a bus from Sunshine coast to Brisbane airport. So, not much sleep then. Then we took a plane from Brisbane to Sydney... Sign in to see full entry.
