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! 😀

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.
How Canadian is that? 🇨🇦 🍁

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.

Normally after dinner I give treats to the cats, but tonight I went straight to my computer. My husband texted this to me letting me know about something I forgot. 😅

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. 😀

In a few wks, my hubby and I are going to Vancouver with Porter, which has a special fare structure. All the seats are econ, but the front ones have more leg room, and a few out of those get a free meal. We'll be in the spacious row behind the "frills" section. I imagine our FA will be doing this. 🤭

I decided to actually go out for a bike ride to attend the #nokings / #notyrants protest in Ottawa. It seemed like a small group, but I had to join them after what the US Ambassador said. Also, my husband made a pun that I had to put on a placard! 😀

Well, I wanted to go for one last swim before it gets too cold for my taste! I'll likely still be biking until late November and stopping at this beach while there is still daylight after work. 😀

One of my hobbies is recording my bike rides on GoPro and sometimes making videos chronicling prominent ones. I post them to YouTube, and I'm very lucky if my videos pass 100 views.
This particular video is my most popular, with over 900 views! I don't know what it is about it. 🤔

A few weeks ago, I was in my hometown for a friend's funeral. This song came on my drive back home, and I broke out crying for the following reasons: my friend loved musical theatre, she was obsessed with social justice, and I realized that life must go on. 🥺

I was feeling nostalgic today, so I watched old episodes of Iron Chef. I've always been amazed at what they can accomplish in 1 hour with a surprise ingredient.
I know that I'd only have like 40 mins because I'd be Googling what to do and trying to find the right podcast for the first 20 mins. 😅
