O Canada: Saint Patrick's Day (allegedly)
http://craigandanna.blogspot.com/2007/03/saint-patricks-day-allegedly.html
Tuesday, March 20, 2007. Saint Patrick's Day (allegedly). At the pub on St Patricks Day they were playing some fiddly-widdly gaelic nonsense on the stereo, and after a couple of hours (and pints) I was getting mighty pissed off with it. "Do you have any Pogues? I asked the waitress, who admittedly probably didn't remember the 80's. "Who? What kind of St Patrick's Day was this? The following Sunday, they had a traditionally enormous parade in Downtown Montreal. And as float after float, politician aft...

O Canada: November 2007
http://craigandanna.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. Since the commission came to Montreal (where we actually HAVE black people and muslims, etc), the attitudes expressed have, on the whole, been far more tolerant (and there have been protests against the very idea of having a commission - good). Last night, however, was the best one yet! Last nights meeting was the first one to be conducted almost entirely in English, reflecting the fact that (guess what? Lots of Quebecers are Anglophone or Allophone! Posted by Craig AS @ 6:20 AM.

O Canada: August 2006
http://craigandanna.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 28, 2006. We had a lovely weekend in the Eastern Townships, it was like one of those perfectly planned, yet very relaxed weekends away. We drove out of Montreal on Saturday morning, heading first for Granby, one of the larger of the villages, and here we had a lovely French coffee break (meaning large bowls of coffee with warm, crispy and fluffy croissants), in the building on the left. We stayed the night in Sutton at a B&B run by a lovely lady (from Islington, it turned out) and ate a wo...

O Canada: Mwa ha ha haaaa!
http://craigandanna.blogspot.com/2006/12/mwa-ha-ha-haaaa.html
Sunday, December 03, 2006. Mwa ha ha haaaa! That was followed by the first decent fall of snow, which nicely coincided with our putting up the Christmas decorations. Hurrah! Nice to be in a country that actually gets a White Christmas (Norway excluded). I'm sure a trip to Florida will be most welcome after several months of this. Posted by Craig AS @ 11:05 AM. I am not a blogger (maybe bugger! So excuse me. I am a voice from the past. Peter Lawley, father to Christpher and Elizabeth. Remember?

O Canada: July 2006
http://craigandanna.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 25, 2006. Juste Pour Rire comedy festival. Friday we went to Thomson House (annoyingly spelt without a 'p') for. Drinks with friends. People here buy pitchers of beer and get a. Collection of half pint glasses. For some reason at the crowd. Dissapeared quicker than the beer so that we ended up with 3 pitchers. For 3 people. Well, that should have been the end of our night in. Normal circumstances, however this is Montreal. Therefore there is a. Hanged then I just start shoutng out letters').

O Canada: FORZA ITALIA and more
http://craigandanna.blogspot.com/2006/07/forza-italia-and-more.html
Tuesday, July 11, 2006. FORZA ITALIA and more. I have also started my French classes, two evenings each week. This week being week two we even have a test tonight! But the group of people seem nice, if a bit shy and talking in their own little original language groups. Most of them speak English though and if I had a penny (or cent) for every time someone says 'oh, I love your accent, it is so cute/quaint/sophisticated etc'. Must get back to work, or rather get off to my class! Posted by Anna AS @ 1:29 PM.

O Canada: February 2006
http://craigandanna.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 24, 2006. As we are going to Montreal soon I thought this was a way to post pictures etc. for all to see. This is just the setting up attempt so I can figure out how it works and see what it looks like. There might not actually be much here until we get there! I have nicked this blogger idea from the Dransfields in San Fransisco, so I hope they take it as a compliment. Posted by Anna AS @ 4:21 AM. Paul Marshall in B.C. Saint Patricks Day (allegedly). Mwa ha ha haaaa! FORZA ITALIA and more.
