Sweet Saturday

Aaaaaah! Saturday morning, 9:00am: no sound of construction - yet. For the past 5 weeks, we have been renovating our basement and back entrance. A dirty job - glad we're paying someone else to do it. And they're almost done now (phew!) but we are still waiting for it to be over. Although it might not be the massive stress or displacement of a kitchen or bathroom reno, any job - no matter what size - still turns your routine and your home upside down. The glimmer of hope is that soon we will be enjoying the fruits of their labour - just in time for Spring. Already we have seen such incredible progress and such quality work. Only 5 more days to go...Hooray!

Last night I was out with my wonderful friend Michelle and saw Loser Takes All (Qui Perd Gagne!) at Cinefranco - the 8th Annual French film festival held at the Royal Cinema on College St west of Bathurst. The movie was fun and starred Thierry L'Hermitte (love him) as a gambler in the south of France who helps police catch a lottery scammer. The story ends up in Vegas and so will I in a week. Michelle & I enjoyed a delightful martini and dinner beforehand at Kalendar. Very cute place and we sat on the patio. More aaaaah. Now I have to get down to my taxes. Blech.

Still sexy at fifty-three
Aaaah, les hommes franรงais
