Rainbows, Rainbows Everywhere, they're even in your Underwear !!!

In case you haven't noticed all the love and fun in our fantastic city these last few days, well some of you were away this weekend, the OUTGAMES are so right out our door! and all around the city. Our own David & Marco will be giving it their all in Badminton on Wednesday, Aug 2 at Cegep Vieux Montreal and I'm going to cheer them on, who's with me?
ONE LOVE and INCLUSION FOREVER !

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

What a day yesterday was. Moving day, Canada day, but most importantly...

First Portugal beat England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, to go to the semis for the first time in history.




And a bit of video:


Then, several hours later, France upset the world champion Brazilians. Not quite the same level of celebration intensity, but fun all the same.



And some video from our front doorstep:


Here's a great shot (taken by someone else) showing the two celebrations side-by-side:


Allez les bleus!

Saturday walk green

Free flowers? What a town!

I don't think I would have believed this if I hadn't read it myself. La ville de Montreal is giving away free flowers to its residents, in the interest of beautifying the city. Turns out they do this every year. The fun takes place on the 27th May — first come-first served. For our arrondissement it's at the eglise St-Enfant-Jesus (and what better saint-enfant is there to host such a thing, really). Voici les détails pour notre coin, et pour Montréal en général.

Ne pas oublier mononque

My better half missed the fact that the other gentleman in the photo is mononque Bougon.

Henry et Gilles

Dimanche a la plantation d'arbres dans la cours de son ecole. Monsieur Duceppe nous a encourage!! hehe. 

A la claire fontaine...

It appears the city is planning to change our water pipes in the new year, check ca
Looks like we might be in for a messy summer but cheer up, clean tap water awaits us at the end.
