Posted on February 9, 2010 by Cath@VWXYNot?

There’s been a sudden proliferation of car flags in the last few days, and I was feeling a bit left out. Duct tape FTW! People are also displaying flags in their windows and front gardens – mostly maple leafs, but … Continue reading →

Posted on January 28, 2010 by Cath@VWXYNot?

Right after EcoGeoFemme pointed out that there haven’t been many memes circulating recently, Amanda went and tagged me for one! The assignment is to write about seven things that I’ve never talked about in my blog. This is a tricky … Continue reading →

Perogies good, proroguing bad

(Pose just for photo, Mr E Man did all the driving) I am a very clumsy person, as you will see in the video below. I’m also a terrible coward. Well, physically, anyway. Move thousands of miles away from home … Continue reading →

Hockey pool, week 15

Posted on January 11, 2010 by Cath@VWXYNot?

Look, Mr. Harper! I’m being a good Canadian and am using hockey to distract myself and others from the suspension of our democracy! I can not believe I dropped the lovely Alex Burrows from my team for the first time … Continue reading →

Fishbowl Fridays!

Posted on January 9, 2010 by Cath@VWXYNot?

At the Fogg ‘N’ Suds in Richmond. It’s almost sacrilegious for a beer drinker such as myself to ignore the extensive international beer menu at such an establishment, but when I saw the giant Caesar on our friends’ table as … Continue reading →

Cuba: Chan Chan and other songs

Posted on December 19, 2009 by Cath@VWXYNot?

This is the song “Chan Chan”, from the Buena Vista Social Club album. It’s good, eh? This is just as well, because we heard it an average of twice a day on our two week trip. The music was one … Continue reading →

Trinidad is a town on the South coast of Cuba, a couple of hours by bus from Cienfuegos. Our new German and Israeli buddies from the El Nicho trip were on the same bus, which made it even more fun … Continue reading →

Day tripper: El Nicho

Posted on December 10, 2009 by Cath@VWXYNot?
