Where Am I?
The following images were 'captured' yesterday, by me, and I have not left the country since then. Bearing that in mind, and using the following images as your clues, where am I?
Note: If you have tiny or very weak eyes, you will find that clicking on the photograph you are struggling to see will make it bigger.
I really hope you enjoyed it - and if you did, see it as me "giving thanks" for your ongoing (and very well-placed) decision to read (and enjoy/admire) this web-log!
Pip pip!

hey, monkey--
nosy question that you don't have to answer. your profile mentions apple trees... are you in the eastern townships?
i celebrated my birthday in knowlton a couple of years back. my birthday is in october. it snowed.
it was very pretty.
Thanksgiving on a MONDAY? I don't know if I could cope. I never knew the two countries were so very different.
I'm guessing Canada but I want one of those garages in a box, do you think they'll ship them to sunny Leeds?
Okay, um, more hockey sticks than you can shake a stick at....gee.
But I must admit if I were in the market for a tractor that snazzy blue one would be well tempting. :)
You are in the store that makes the money we use when visiting South American countries.
It is also the Canadian male's Mecca.
As for Thanksgiving-- Canadians are practical. The best time to have a harvest celebration is when things are being harvested.
ps were you at Canada Tire? (or canadian tire? whatever the name of that place is...)
In a spirit of solidarity, I am playing a Leonard Cohen CD.
Wherever it is they are empolying a Muppet on the 'returns & exchanges' desk - a REAL Muppet!!
I am guessing only Canadia would be such an equal opportunities kind of place.
elmo ain't a muppet. he's a sesame street hack that tries to be a muppet.
non-working monkey, you went to zellers, canadian tire, a craft store place called omer des serres (or however that addictive place is spelled) and perhaps home depot
also, no civilized person ever shops at IGA unless it's an emergency. not only are they obscenely expensive but their vegetables aren't fresh and their bakery section is utter crap - not one damn thing in there has real custard or whipped cream; for all i know, it could just be solidified jizz/man juice as katy netwon probably calls it.
when jean talon/atwater isn't open loblaws and maxi are a good substitute. you simply can't entrust a self-hair cutting pathologist to be wise to these things - he'll probably eat anything that's put in front him.
More to follow, but Kermit: 1) Jean-Talon; 2) Loblaws and 3) be very careful: he is an excellent cook and will indeed eat anything that's put in front of him, but that is because I can cook also.
Go suck on that, greeny.
well, somebody must own stock in iga. pardon mon francais. have to hand it to you though; i wouldn't move further than across the city for anyone - never mind an ocean.
Laurie - no, although strangely I was driven through Knowlton on Sunday. It is quite nice, apart from the stupid 'English' shop, called 'England Hill', which sells Barry's (Irish) tea and (Scottish) tartan rugs, and a number of unspeakable horrors made from dried lavender, twigs and ribbon in form of of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. And yes to Canadian Tire, which to me is a palace of joy.
Kermit - I do not understand what you are on about, really. The IGA down the road is fine, and as we live in the middle of the country it is OK for for e.g. lavatory paper and cheap honey.
Beth - I think it is nice here. The people are nice (when they are not talking their weird French and I can understand them).
Bluefluff - have you killed yourself?
Asta - I thought it was dreamy and yes, it does make sense ...
JPM - I have touched that tractor. That may well make you want to touch me. I am not sure.
Ms B - I know !!!! It is a positive delight and a world of Discovery every day!!!
Anon - not for that price you don't. I think it was made of old bin bags.
but wait...jean-talon is in montreal, yes?
i have come so late to this party!
