Life is a bike path, and I want to ride it all day long. It's kind of what I do already.

I just came back from Paris and while I was there, we did a bike tour. Here are the highlights of it on the chaotic streets of Paris! 😀

Let's Get Blitzen Cocktail Advent Calendar, Day 6: Jupiter Julep
Imagine a refreshing mint julep on a hot summer day. Now imagine that, but transformed into a comforting drink on a cold winter's night!

Imagine a drink that starts off as a Ceasar, then moves into a Martini, and then ends in a delicious garden salad. Yes it's bizarre, but makes for a great apéritif 😀

Today's drink is a great balance between tropical tastes and local comfort. Christmas to me means winter and cold. But I also have to remember that a lot of people celebrate in warm weather!

After one hell of a "Domino Effect" kind of day, this drink was nice. The mezcal, Campari, and Amaro Nonino all seemed to compete for flavours but in a nice way!

My husband took in one of our neighbours' delivered packages, and they just showed up at our door to retrieve it. They gave us a can of maple syrup as a gift for keeping it safe.

I remember back in 2007, Air Canada introduced this top-of-the-line entertainment system in economy. It's quite dated these days, and I was pleasantly surprised to see them being disactivated on my flight the other day.
Here's a photo of how I looked the year it was introduced vs. now. 😀

I'm flying from Ottawa to Toronto today on an almost empty plane, meaning that there aren't enough people at the back. So some will need to move.
Originally, I was seated all the way at the back. But I upgraded to Business Class. So I'm feeling some of the blame, but without the shame. 😁

I wanted to check out what all the kids are into these days: the new Pokémon. I haven't played one since Yellow (yes, really)!
So far, the French theme of it is cute. And fittingly, someone stole my shit when getting off the train, similar to what actually happened to us in Paris last summer. 😅

Being a Canadian, I noticed that there are some places with an English pronunciation and a French one. Sometimes, it can just be roughly the same pronunciation in a certain accent.
For the first time in my life at Vancouver Airport, I heard the French pronunciation of Edmonton: Ed-mo-uh-to-uh. 🤔

Due to an inconvenient situation that happened with our accommodations in Vancouver, we have to call customer service at Expedia. They put us on hold with some flamenco playing. The quality of the connection is quite poor, with a lot of crackling. Oddly enough, it sounds like intense castanets. 💃

Two things came to mind when I watched the latest Jurassic Park movie my husband put on:
1- Damn that Jonathan Bailey looks so fine AF!
2- They're still making them? Should've stopped after the first one, maybe the second. Any of them without Jeff Goldblum isn't worth watching!

This was my bike commute yesterday evening. It's the last of the kind for this season since it will rain in Ottawa from here until Sunday. Then DST ends and I won't leave work until after the sun is setting.

After dinner, I told my husband that I'm feeling under the weather and I'll retire to my home office to play some #railwayempire. He rolled his eyes at me, saying that I was going to play that regardless. I replied saying he was right. I do very much love that game. 😀
