The Snowy Streets of Montreal

Greetings from Canada!


Two hours after arriving at Kevin's farm on Christmas Day, snow began to fall. Since then, I've read murder mysteries, eaten far too much chocolate, visited old friends (and played videogame with their children), and I'm now in Montreal for the New Year.

Canadian Boxing Day sales + British pound = crazy shopping spree.


I hope you are doing well. My e-mail is on my userinfo in case you need to reach me. I'm here in Montreal until Tuesday or Wednesday then we return to Ottawa. We are hoping to visit Toronto for a few days before catching our plane back to London on the 9th. Things are up in the air and I'm just drifting on a holiday cloud.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So near, and yet so far. :(

I'll catch you in person one of these days. Happy New Year, dear.

To you too! We are more than likely moving back this Summer so we'll have plenty of chances to meet up. ♥

It is indeed. Shame I caught a cold! :-/

Rob's in Montreal for New Years too! I guess Montreal is the new black

Can you believe I spent most of my time in Montreal sick, in bed?!? I've had some bad luck so far this year. I was in Toronto for one day, and I wandered if you were inside the alcohol stores I went by. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet but hopefully we can fix that when Kevin and I move to Toronto! :-D

[identity profile] greenteablack.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't believe how many people are sick. That is really too bad that you spent so much of your vacation in bed. And for sure we'll fix that when you guys move to Toronto!

Thank you me dear. I hope you and Ed had a good time during the break. I arrived this morning to find your invitation, so I'll send the reply promptly tomorrow.

Jealous! Especially about the possibly moving back part...

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2007-01-10 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Montreal hit me with everything it had, then some more. It was such a trip...

[identity profile] vyxle.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
I demand details, that I may live vicariously through you! I was actually plotting out a return recently, though it was probably little more than pipe dreams...

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'll write a review tonight. Wouldn't it be cool if the both of us moved back there? Then J. could join us too...

happy new year, Ollie!

*hug*

Thank you my darling, to you too as well. As I was telling Rob and Christine, I'm very sorry I missed you guys in Toronto. I was only there for a day, and I've been sick since the new year with a heavy cold (borderline flu). I wasn't very good company, but I'm hoping to go back soon and have more time to meet you guys.

[identity profile] dilvsy.livejournal.com 2007-01-10 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
no worries, Ollie

*hug*

hope you're feeling better now???

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2007-01-10 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I've still got a cough, but I bought drugs as soon as I arrived in London. I'm going to take it easy until the weekend and see what happens. I only wish I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow... oh well.

maybe if you're lucky, you'll get insomnia like i did.
I missed my first day back last week, cause i was up all night

Hope you have a wondrous NYE and 007!
Love&Peace, -David

To you too David. Thank you for e-mailing me the poems - it was hard for me to check e-mail while in Canada but I'm hoping to now catch up with you. And, of course, The Moody Bitch Mix shall be in the post by this Saturday. ;-)

Awwww, I'm glad the both of you are having fun! Specially the crazy shopping spree part :D

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2007-01-10 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I hope you had a good New Year Eve too.
