still brutally cold. Two more days of this, and we are

Probably the most infuriating time of year is when,
yes the days are getting longer and it is sunny, but it is
still brutally cold. Two more days of this, and we are
OUT!

Success
100 Day Weight Loss with daily weigh-in:
1. After you've weighed-in, thank yourself. It was hard
to do this, and you have just done something positive.
This is a win!!
2.Yes, counting calories is necessary, but it is not sufficient.
Counting calories starting from candy will lead to a mad binge...
It comes down to recognizing proper portions of healthy foods:
EITHER two scrambled eggs with lettuce; one fried egg with
shaved ham; one boiled egg on buttered toast. Each version, with
a cup of tea, is 200 calories. That's breakfast and lunch is at least
4 hours away!!
3. If you feel the urge to eat off-plan, or at an inappropriate time,
consider this: you've done that already (that is, made a self-indulgent
choice) and you know where it leads; to where you are now. So make
the other choice, and stick to plan!!
That's it!!

Die-Hard
I really don't have it in for Tony Blair, but some things
just need to be noticed. In a week-end piece for the Guardian,
he presents the hard Brexit option as a Canada-like deal
with the EU. For Canada, negotiations for CETA started
with Stephen Harper and the Conservatives, and got signed by
the Trudeau Liberals. And here is the kicker: we thought all along
we were getting the UK as part of the deal. Even in die-hard Francophone
Quebec, where I live, we quite appreciate English shortbread cookies
on the shelves at Christmas.
I am also quite surprised that the whole debate centers on trade arrangements,
when the EU covers so much more, to name the space program as an
example. The EU is a debating and voting body, while ESA is not (Canada is an
ESA associate). Developments in space are accelerating - given the entry of
many non-European countries in space activities...Has the hope of having the
EU take over ESA been abandonned?
Finally, I am totally surprised by the absence of a voice for the Lords in all
this. When I was in school (granted, in the political Pleistocene), an Upper
Chamber was the place for 'sober second thougths'. Would it not make sense
for that Chamber to take on the job of looking at options for the backstop,
or even the need for a second consultation. Just saying...

Before
Was reading on MSN about the difference between psychopaths
and sociopaths (the latter are more impulsive). So, I'm basically
a psycho... Or maybe, just old. Sh... does add up over the years.
On that note, I'm going shopping before all the fun Spring clothes
go.

M Gras
March 5 this year is Mardi Gras, the one day of the year when
eating donuts, crêpes, whatever is okay. I have fond memories of
boozy crêpes from the streets of Pais. Below, how they are made.
