One of my best 15-minute photoshops ev4r! I promised Olivier I wouldn’t distribute the picture at large, but since he’s now left the company, the statute of limitation has run out :)

Finally asleep
Katy’s body heat finally managed to get the Bean conked out around 12:30. Shame that he had to get up less than 2 hours later when we landed at Heathrow…

This is on my arm. Squeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Bye bye, Canada
Vacation’s over. Time to get back to reality, the normal routine. We had a great time, better honestly that I had expected. A huge thank you to my family, who hosted the Bean on sleepovers, so that Katy and I could have some date time. A huge thank you to my wifey, who entertained the Bean while I got my shiny new tattoo.
Now it’s time to pay the bills :D
Suuuuuushi
We went to Tokyo Sushi Bar in the old port today, to have lunch with Sara and Em. We had a giant plate of tempura to share, then a beautiful platter of sushi. Bishoku-calibre sushi, with Bishoku-calibre service! Bean had miso soup and a super generous portion of teriyaki chicken and tempura.
When the bill came, we were shocked, happily so. The amount and quality of food in Switzerland would have cost 3 times the price!!
Jerry the well-travelled caterpillar
Bean found Jerry near Montebello and brought him back to Masson. This morning, Jerry came with us to Montreal. He was starting to look a bit forlorn in his plastic jar house, so we released him on a giant tree in front of our bnb.
Bye bye, Jerry the caterpillar, you will be remembered.
Freeeeeeedom!
Jerry the caterpillar is making a bid for freedom while waiting for the train to Montreal.
The world’s only sight-only guard dog
Little yellow dog is getting old and is now deaf as a post. She follows my dad around with her eyes all the time. If she sees anything out of place, she’ll bark like a hellhoumd, but an invisible burglar could tap dance playing the bagpipes and rob my parents blind…
I offended someone today!
We went to a nature park today. As part of the tour, you could take a tractor tour where you sit on hay bales and drive from one part of the nature reserve to another. Katy and I were the last people to get on the trailer and we were looking for seats. I’d just started to sit down when this old guy, sitting across from me, says to his family “we’re getting off! Now! I can’t spend the trip (about 10 minutes) looking at that t-shirt.” Then he turns to me and says, “for God’s sake, there are children here. Grow up!”
People were looking a bit bemused by all of this. When we got out after the ride, one family came up to us to see what all the fuss had been about. After telling the story, they laughed and thanked us because him leaving had freed up some space to allow them to come on.
I don’t know why the man had such a big stick wedged so far up his ass. Katy thinks he’s a repressed vegan who strenuously objected to the mention of sausage rolls. In any case, I’m actually tickled pink to have offended someone to that extent, just by being me. Sort of a personal best :D
