Hello AMBER... nice having you back. I could have sung the song myself, but I can't face being cyberlynched. Re. great-nephew (Ni2 again... she told me last fall that she wanted another child right away...) Re.Olympics: 1000m speedskating (your girls did very well: silver and bronze... congratulations)... I'll admit it was too close for comfort there... Christine Nesbitt hadn't lost a race all season... so she seemed a shoe-in to win... but boy was it close... I was sure she had lost the race with 400m to go. A young girl from my neck of the woods won the silver medal in the 500m short-track (nobody expected her to do this well... she just moved up from the Junior ranks - ok... she was world junior champion last year, but still). Re. banned member: hard to understand how people can be so weird. Having been banned once already, you'd imagine he/she would have learned his/her lesson. I can only hope he/she didn't hurl abuse at you. I can't send sunshine your way, but if it's warm weather you're after, give me a sign... I WANT WINTER. It seems Facebook is the place to be... but I simply can't bring myself to join... it is way outside my comfort zone (a couple of strange stories around these parts made me even more leery). Re. Merlin: I'll be in touch. I've checked viewers' ratings for each episode... and season 2's ep ratings are all above 9... much better than season 1's. Okay... time to call it a night, and I still have the dishes to do... can't stand waking up to dirty dishes (I don't have a dishwasher).
Take care one and all, JF

BREAKING NEWS WELL KNOWN SCOTTISH ENTREPENEUR SEEN DRIVING HIS BRAND NEW PEUGEOT AROUND THE YORKSHIRE DALES. Our sources at TGoDT Media reveal that Mr Sheepie seems ready to expand his Prick 'n Ping Pub & Grill Chain. It appears that studies carried out by the A & A Market Research Firm (Mr Sheepie's Firm of choice - "I appreciate their hands-on approach" he once said) indicate that the area would be ideal. Rumour has it the entrepeneur is set to sell his Scottish Manor (considering the monies recently invested to add a number of bedrooms to the Manor, one might feel tempted to feign surprise - but given that the Manor has been plagued with recurrent water and heating problems - one will refrain). Will Mr Sheepie, he of the legendary wit, soon become a permanent fixture around these parts? Only time will tell. jf reporting

Thanks matan4il and tks softfurbear for posting. I've run out of superlatives to describe this show (and my dog-eared ROGET'S NEW POCKET THESAURUS can't help me anymore). I'm speechless... JF

As I wander the deserted streets of what was once a vibrant Centre of Town, I wonder... EVERYBODY MOVED TO THE BURBS?

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKEY*** Where's the rest of it? Well... But fear not... baked another one and it's waiting for you in the Bday thread. Here's hoping work, training and the Olympics won't get in the way of a proper birthday bash. JF

So tapping foot impatiently works... gotta try it at some point in time. momnoc two more days before Lent starts. amber what can I say... Take care one and all, JF

Est-ce que je suis un cas désespéré ? *attention aux réponses ....* Je viens de succomber au vote pour le "sexiest soap star 2010 " sur le site de RTL .... je n'aurais pas pensé faire ça un jour, AWZ me fait faire beaucoup de choses !!! Mon coeur va forcément et complètement à Dennis, même si Jörge et Igor sont absolument sublimes !! Vous allez me dire .... heureusement que j'ai fait ce post, ça nous aurait manqué !!! Je fais donc attention à ma réponse .............................................. ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... bon, disons que j'ai assez fait attention ;D ;D ;D sérieusement, ce n'est ni désespéré ni désespérant. C'est la réaction normale d'un(e) fan. J'ai fait la même chose; et effectivement, ça nous aurait manqué si tu n'avais pas fait ce post. J'espère que tu as passé une bonne semaine et que tu as eu une JF PS Je suis tout troublé de voir que ce semble être la fin pour Marian et Jenny...

restenergy snow tends to erase boundaries... don't really know where a lot ends and another one begins. Tell me, is the mailbox your parents'? I just love it.
Don't you feel even less impressed when you're coloured unimpressed? ;D We do write funny. Actually, some of us do and some of us don't, depending on which Empire you root for I guess. ;D I personally s the z, ll the l, c the s and re the er but I will anaesthetize (talk about split personality: the Brit ae, but the US z)... is it any wonder that sometimes I have no idea whether I'm coming or going? ;D ;D
Re. concert: I suspect they are of the opinion that if we can spend hours ice-fishing, then what's two hours watching a live feed?
sheepie how's the head today?
The shovelling has done me in... time to call it a night.
Take care one and all, JF

Effectivement davyd ça vaut le coup. Qu'ils puissent être aussi affectueux en public nous montre ce que la vie pourrait être si les gens étaient plus ouverts. En passant, est-ce que tu parles de l'amour? ou des démonstrations d'affection en public? Si tu parles de l'amour, crois-moi, ça se peut... JF

I Love Thore If you have seen Maurice the movie, you should love the book. The movie is a close adaptation of E. M. Forster's novel. I loved both. Should you want to explore Mr. Forster's universe, I would suggest you also read A Room with a View and Howards End: both excellent. I hadn't heard of The Man Who Loved Yngve... now you've got me curious so I'll google my way to knowledge. TKS, JF

aft/eve/nite/morn o&a This is turning out to be our weirdest winter (?) ever... we're going through a third warm spell... a first according to the meteorologists... and this one is going to last well into next week.The further south you go the colder it gets... Blame it all on El Nino. restenergy re. concert: yes, it's a benefit concert in aid of Le Transit (a regional Family Support Centre). No doubt it's a worthy cause, but I wonder how many people can afford the prices ($200 and $125). The live transmission will be held in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn (I just checked with them)... free of charge... WOW... Colour me NOT IMPRESSED. Sure looks like your parents have got a fair bit of land... What a wonderful place to be raised, provided one is into the outdoors that is. Are you and OH doing anything special on Valentine's Day? Have a great week-end, JF *waves*

TTFN = ta ta for now (I get it from Winnie the Pooh's bouncy friend Tigger and the cartoon versions) Thanks... I'm more of a Paddington man myself... ;D Lovely photographs... Love the Mailbox (yours?) and the blue birdfeeder... The Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal ( Montreal Symphony Orchestra) is coming to town for one concert on Feb. 19th. I wish I could afford a ticket, but I can't see myself shelling out 125$ (cheapest ticket). Thank goodness there's going to be a live transmission at the Holiday Inn (within walking distance from my place). Don't know how much they're going to charge. Will find out tomorrow. momnoc going somewhere? Don't forget your high heels. With Lent soon upon us, will we be looking at another 40 momnocless days? thinking of you, jf Gotta go... Opening ceremonies starting in a bit. Take care one and all, JF

Busy day ahead, so I'll make it short... restenergy I'll remember that concert for as long as I live... and from the comments I read in the various arts/culture blogs, it looks like many fellow saguenayen/ne(s) feel the same. Re. printer: you can now control all aspects of the creative process; I can easily see how using different papers could bring a new dimension to your work; I imagine the candles printed on parchment-like paper for example. Question: TTFN Take care one and all, JF

Hello one and all. While the eastern states are battered by an other monster snowstorm/blizzard, we are experiencing early spring-like weather. Temps slightly below the freezing mark, glorious sunshine, no wind to speak of... Out West, Vancouver is trying its best to look wintry for the Winter Olympics... who would have thought. Can hardly wait to see our athletes hit the slopes, the ice (figure skating - I miss Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko so much, speedskating - both short-track and long-track, hockey - particularly the women); three athletes from my neck of the woods will be involved (that's a lot, considering the population). I suspect I'll be spending a fair bit of time glued to the TV. amber can't ask for more... knowing you're alive and kicking is plenty good for me. Btw, I'm going to become a great-uncle again... a boy this time, due around end of July. I am all kinds of excited. restenergy Le Quatuor Alcan ( Alcan String Quartet) was formed 20 years ago in Saguenay and to celebrate the occasion, they gave a series of concerts throughout the region, accompanied by the Saguenay Lac St-Jean Symphony orchestra. I attended the Sunday concert. Heavenly... I am always surprised to see the crowds... wherever they play, they pack the regional auditoriums/churches/concert halls. And hearing people cheering must be especially heartwarwing. After the encore, everybody remained standing and we sang Happy Birthday. Fantastic... and this should make aldebaran proud: Laura Adriani studied the violin in Torino. Waves at everybody else. Take care one and all, JF

Hi one and all! Hope RL is treating you right... it's clearly keeping you busy... restenergy did the new equipment come with the new responsibilities? or is it a gift from yourself to yourself? enjoy... I had another look at your pics this morning and I re-discovered the candles... I seem to recall mentioning that there was something Rembrandt esque about them... (light and shadow)... It still stands. MsVixen I don't know if Le Morte d'Arthur is on internet. It'd be great if it were... I'd love watching again. Scotland: hope you get everything sorted so you can go. It is one of the countries I'd love to go back to. sheepie thanks for posting that vid. What's the weather like these days? Water and heating ok? Eastern US members... managed to dig yourself out yet? quite the storm you got there... this meteorologist's weather report/forecast is absolutely crazy... one pill too many maybe? bchick are you re-adjusting to New-York crazy weather? You did live there before, right? No more cute animal stories Life must indeed be hectic. I got one clip for you: it shows the birth of the baby polar bears at the Zoo de St-Félicien last november: amber are you ok? should we worry? thinking of you, JF A Boy Like Me nice having you around... I have to agree with you... the performance is so bad it makes you wonder if it's for real... ;D I guess harmonium should be able to answer... Everybody else... partial list follows: momnoc, aldebaran, divinewinds, Difficult Diva, nana29, jaynin (aka J9), eldanesh, skilian, floatilla, messyme(?), mikey... HUGS AND KISSES!Take care one and all, JF

To the CT's Merlin Triplets: Le Morte d'Arthur was excellent... I'm this close to getting hooked. Thing is I don't know when V (that's the TV channel I watch the show on) will start showing Season 2.
Princess Ollian Teaching? Thought you were studying to work in the field of Tourism/Event Planning. Time I did some serious CT2 re-reading. What are you teaching anyway?
louisa you sure you didn't imagine that giant yellowy shiny glowy ball of light in the sky? Possibly the effect of your fainting spell and your being poorly?
À la prochaine people, JF
