Picture of the Week: Sens Fever

From Correr Es Mi Destino, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Sens Flag on the National Art Gallery Crane, Ottawa, May 2013 This year, loyal Ottawa hockey fans were rewarded: The Ottawa Senators, the city's team, made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Suddenly, Sens flags started to appear all across the city, on windows, on cars' and even on the big crane by the National Art Gallery of Canada. This year, four Canadian teams qualified for the playoffs (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver), the most since 2006. The Toronto Maple Leafs made the... Read more

From French Word-A-Day, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Hello faithful readers--and a warm bonjour to those who have recently signed up to this free word journal. This blog usually goes out three times a week, but we are on a new schedule since the arrival of my mom. For the past three weeks Mom and I have been digging in the garden, enjoying walks by the seaside... braiding wild rosemary through our hair... and making plans for the future--while reminding each other to "be here now" in the present moment, or l'ici et maintenant....

Pop-up café in Viimsi this Saturday!

From Nami-nami, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Six Estonian foodbloggers - Aire, Britt, Liina, Marju, Silja and yours truly - are setting up a pop-up café at the Viimsi Farmers Market this Saturday. It's not the first time - in September 2011 and September 2012 we opened a pop-up apple cake café (õunakoogikohvik, you can see some photos here) at the same market, and the organisers - Museum of the Coastal Folk - asked us to come and serve our creations at their newest special event, Viimsi Fish Day (Kalapäev). We were happy... Read more

Friday Cow Blogging

From What Do I Know?, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Cows at Stonehenge, near the Bronze Age burial mounds Before I go any further, I should point to this BBC Radio 4 interview that features my hiking group on the programme Ramblings. I'm the second person interviewed by Clare Balding, and I talk about my love of the outdoors and walking, as well as my neverending search for a vacuum cleaner. Okay. Go listen (it won't be up forever), then come back and admire these cows, who live at Stonehenge near the Bronze Age burial mounds. As... Read more

For One Child at Least, the Ordeal is Over

From Ghana - Back to Basics, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

The last many, many months have been spent trying to get our son Sean into college. My husband and I had believed that moving to Ghana more than a decade ago would be to the children's benefit because the school system here, even at public school level, would be better than the U.S. To some extent we were right and to another, we were not necessarily wrong but not necessarily right, either' let me explain.Late last year, Sean's final year at Achimota, we began the process, like so many...

Catching Up

From Ya' All Right?, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

These days I often find myself wondering what day of the week it is.  I'm currently on the tail-end of a 3 day "weekend".  I'm sure many people would prefer working 8am - 5pm, Monday through Friday, but I'm rather enjoying the shift work.  I've been off work since Tuesday and don't return until 4pm Saturday.  I work Saturday and Sunday evening, and get another 2 days off before settling in for a 5 day, 8am - 5pm work week.  The way the shifts work, there are times when...

Repeat

From Frenchless in France, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you have seen these photos but I’m going to use them for this post anyway. While we have Sunshine today, we also have a very strong wind so, except for a trip to the grocery store, I’ve stayed inside. After days of rain I was so happy to get up one morning and see this. Blue sky, rising sun reflected in the clouds-perfect. I was so happy to see sunshine on the flowers for sale at our little market. Just brightened my day. We had... Read more

Won't you be my neighbor'

From Mama(e) in Translation, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Yesterday I came out the front door and was stunned to find a "For Sale" sign at the house of our neighbors across the street. And I quickly understood why they had been planting new grass in their front lawn and taking care of the landscaping. I mostly felt sad, though.We haven't interacted too much, but they have two sons, 7 and 4, and their older son and my 8 year old (one year older, but two inches shorter than the neighbor boy! ;) are the best of friends. In addition, they took care of... Read more

Douro River Valley Tour 1: Amarante village, Vinho Verde (green wine) and some Travel Agency rant

From The Dutched Pinay, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Although the weather in the Douro River Valley (a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in Portugal) had been unfavourable when I was there in March (2 months ago)?the cruise ships were forced to dock for days and many shops on the river boulevard, and even the boulevard itself were submerged under water, I was quite lucky enough to be able to book a Douro River Valley tour, but by land though, which is what I really wanted anyway. This is the town of Amarante, our first stop for this Douro... Read more

Leaving Kulalu

From Reluctantmemsahib, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Tomorrow morning early we will leave the ranch. ?Odd how quickly it can all change so much', observes Ant, ?how fast it can go wrong'. He means The Dream. That'll teach us, I think, to let our Hearts rule our Heads. When I first arrived, just four weeks ago, four weeks, I felt intimidated Here. It seems huge and overwhelming. Mid morning and the sky, ballooning with the abortive promise of rain ?will any come to extinguish this stifling heat ? merges with the sage grey of the bush which... Read more
