We found a place to live in Sherbrooke, at least temporarily. It’s Ghis’s favourite Bed & Breakfast which is closing at the end of the month. They have been trying to sell it for some time. They have agreed to let us live there since it will be empty anyway.
So we have a bit of time to pass before we can go to the B&B so we decided to come to Montreal and our old downstairs neighbour, Martin, said we could stay with him.
Martin was away though, so we took advantage of the time to visit our friends, Denis and Martine and their kids, out in the country near Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
Morgane had fun playing with the kids and the cat. We ate really well – many BBQs on their nice, new BBQ, despite the cold weather. We had some laughs playing silly Wii games and cards at night.
This morning we said good-bye and are now in Westmount. This weekend I am going to a PWAC writing workshop just walking distance from here. It’s on the business of writing. Very practical!
Morgane has several playdates lined up with old friends and is already over at the neighbours’ house eating dinner. Ghis and I are getting massages tomorrow at our old spot and I am planning on hitting the library to do some writing.
Today we stopped at the library and I picked some free New Yorker magazines from the magazine recycling shelf and they are not even very old! It’s good to be here.
I have put my resume in for a couple of jobs in Lennoxville, right near Sherbrooke. I am really hoping to get the job at Bishop’s University teaching spring and summer immersion classes. Cross your fingers for me!
