Le Château de Canisy

At the beginning of March I got a phone call that changed everything. I was a day away from starting a new work contract and was thrilled to be done with the tediousness of updating my CV, writing lettres de motivation and thinking about what to say during a French job interview. We had recently moved into an adorable rental house and were feeling settled in Normandy. So my immediate reaction was thanks, but no thanks. A few days later they called again and explained more of what the job...
Brown's Siding Cafe in the Blue Mountains
From Kristin Buesing, 3 days ago, Similar articles
The last days of Autumn are coming to an end and I can feel the winter fast approaching. The mornings are way cooler than normal and it gets really cold inside the house. It's time to get the heater out. Mind you the sun is still lovely and temperatures still reach 23 degrees C. The leaves are so beautiful right now and this is the perfect time for the Blue Mountains which despite their name can be quite golden and red in Autumn. We stopped at a cafe, the Brown's Siding, for some delightful...

I started using the Internet many years ago. It was in the days when you had to dial up and wait a long time until you heard that unique sound that said you were now online. I started out using AOL (America On Line) then and I’ve never changed although I keep being told that I should. AOL, back then, had many interesting boards or forums and I visited them often. I found that sharing problems and information with others in that setting to be very helpful. After I moved to Paris I went...
Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200, But Do Watch This Video
From Living in Egypt, 3 days ago, Similar articles
There is a video that I think everyone who has an interest in the Egyptian political scene in either the short run or in the long run should spend an hour and a half to watch. Mahmoud Salem, a blogger also known as Sandmonkey (see his blog at http://www.sandmonkey.org), spoke at the Washington Institute for Middle Eastern Affairs a few days ago. Aside from being an extremely astute and acute observer of our political scene, Mahmoud is a highly entertaining speaker. His description of Am...
I want to be just like my mom
From Tales of a Texpatriate, 4 days ago, Similar articles
Today is Mother's Day in the US. I won't go into my feelings on why or why not one day a year is even enough to tell someone like a mother thank you, or why in general days like this drive me nuts because it's so manufactured and false, and that I think if you love someone you should show them that love EVERYDAY, and if you want to send them a gift just SEND IT and don't wait for a retail-sanctioned holiday. Ok, well I kind of did go into my feelings on that, whatever, I'll stop. (gets off...

My Gorgeous Mother's Day Present(c) Amanda van MulligenFor those of you who are mothers living in the Netherlands today was hopefully a day of pampering and cuddles from your little ones, and your partner of course. It's a day to put mum in the spotlight, because let's face it most days aren't..... Mum is usually too busy running around taking care of everyone else to stop and stand in the spotlight!Mother's Day in the Netherlands is always the second Sunday of May and has been since 1925 (if...
Dear children, just please don't give me pink eye for mother's day
From Life is Good, 4 days ago, Similar articles
Anything I'd hoped to achieve the past week has completely gone out the window. I mentioned in the last post that D came down with Hand Foot and Mouth disease. He had a pretty mild case... but a few days later Quinn came down with it, too, and has had a harder time of it (poor thing still has blisters on his hands, feet, and butt, though thankfully his mouth hasn't seemed to bug him much). Â Then on Wednesday, when I'd planned on D going back to school, he woke up with pink eye which has...
Life in Olbia
From How to Italy, 5 days ago, Similar articles
Sometimes a week away is what you need to appreciate the place you call home. I've just come back from five days in England and, as much as I loved seeing my friends and family, having a glass of wine in a pub, and just soaking up the atmosphere, I really was glad when we landed in Olbia. Admittedly, leaving behind the dull grey skies and returning to brilliant sunshine had something to do with it. As of May 1, Mario and I have been in Sardinia nine years.  In that time we've lived...
