It's like Chicago for me, absolutely love them in the summer, but I'm a winter wimp

I went a few years ago in the summer and was raving about what a great place It would be to live when I came back to work, then someone said that (according to French friends who'd moved out there) until you've survived 5 winters in Montreal you can't consider yourself a local 😂

Love Montreal!

Yes , duvet and heating been in action this weekend!

Ooh, just having a glass! That calls for one more methinks 😀

Saw Marlaska's UN welcome this am, everyone standing in the sun 🥵

Had an hour by the pool this am, been on the sofa watching a film this pm, it's brutal out there

Thanks for the reminder, I have it on my TBR pile and it's probably just what I need right now!

I suspect that there will be a bit of lingering later then 😂

Ha, we have our book club on a Sunday am too (it's online and there are friends in Asia in it too, so it's 4pm for them). We've been reading Orbital for this one

Thank you! Yes, perhaps would not be quite so 😍 if they were climbing up my curtains 😂

How cute! Was in a very bad mood but this whole thread has made me a feel less murderous

Just grey and rainy here, a slow cooker stew and stay at home kind of day :/

* admittedly we were very lucky with the weather

Yes, just adding to the daily anxiety since the orange one came back

They also made a series of The Thursday Widows but based it in México which took some of the humour away from the idea of the Buenos Aires 'country' urbanizations. But also worth a look if you enjoyed the book

Love Claudia Piñeiro. Have you seen the series she wrote for Netflix El Reino too?
