Zumba Montréal

It's been on the cool side lately sun mixed with clouds, there is rain in the forecast. It rained and was so windy last Friday that most of the leaves have been blown away. Although you can see the mountain downtown between the office buildings downtown and the way the sun reflecting on the mountain turned it into a sea of yellow and gold, reminded me that it's been a long time since I've taken a walk on the mountain.

Below is a video my Zumba group did in a Montreal Metro Station. It's part of a promotion for Zumba Fitness. I was supposed to go but I was sick.

Thanksgiving weekend

I've been sick with bronchitis for the last nine days. I've had fever everyday and every night. I haven't caught a cold or grippe since 2008, but when I catch something I catch it well. I think the antibiotics are kicking in as I had just a bit of fever last night.

Although retired since September I am still working on contract until December 1st, I was supposed to finish last Thursday but they asked if I would stay for at least 2 months. I said yes as the transition is not going that well and I hate to leave things the way they are.

Two little birds came to visit my balcony this morning. They didn't quite look like the ones in the link I posted above, they were dark gray with white bellies, I can't identify them. Not possible to snap a pic, by the time I would have got the camera out they were gone. If you have any idea what they may be let me know.

Orange Dragonfly

Tony took the picture of the Orange Dragonfly sunning himself on the brick wall.

It's a sunny Sunday. I have come down with a cold so haven't been able to take advantage of the nice weather.

Happy October 1st

As of today I am supposed to be retired however at the last minute they asked me to work another two months so I am working on contract.

It's a rainy Friday morning, from what I hear on the news there is quite a bit of rain all around. It wasn't raining when I got up but it has started again, I knew I should have taken the do off for a walk.

I haven't taken a picture of my retirement gift, I'll have to get around to that.

I started to have a sore throat yesterday, with a bit of fever. A lot of people seem to have colds this week. I thought I would escape it, but no.

The pumpkin photo that Toni posted on her blog reminded me of a photo taken 2 years ago on a Autumn walk.

Thought I would post it today in honor of October 1st!
