I wait for one year for this sandwich.
The poutine shack has found a local producer of squeaky cheese, but they’re not sharing where!
But as always, there is the lake.

Grey windy day
Both the child and the dog have wet feet.
Boys night outÂ
Ben’s birthday bowling bash
We had a bowling/movie/pizza party for Ben this year. It was also mainly drama-free, shocking! Ben’s happy because he got a Nintendo switch, some games and was able to buy himself a bluetooth speaker with the money he got from his friends.

Happy HalloweenÂ
Katy pretty much single-handedly organised the building’s annual Halloween evening. It was really cool – the neighbours all thanked to her for organising it, and some people brought wine to go along with the nibbles and drinks that she’d put out, with the pumpkins and candles and chimenea. It seems that people are always chuffed to have it happen and ask about it around the start of October.
Of course, Bean raked in an obscene amount of candy.
Comptoir Suisse 2018, 2nd try
Being gluttons for punishment, we went to the comptoir again. It went much better this time. The child had churros and was happy. Katy found her Spirit Cow (a real one, not a balloon one).
As a side note, that taxidermied fox is over 25 years old, and seeing dakimakura in real life is a bit creepy.
Comptoir Suisse 2018
We went to the 99th edition of the Comptoir Suisse, in Lausanne. We saw the wine producers, the food hall, the farm animals, the Japanese exhibit, and then we left because we ran out of spending money and the child threw an outstanding tantrum. We tried to sell him to gypsies, but there were no buyers. These pictures are a lie. They show us actually having fun.

Little hanging rack for a wasp trap.
Today’s mood
Free child given to a good home. Or even to an OK home. If drama persists, child will be given to first caller.
Ben at cooking camp
Ben goes to cooking camp. Ben becomes BFF with camp dog. All the kids get the chance to send pictures from camp. Other kids send pictures of the food they made or things they’ve done at camp. Ben sends pictures of the dog. Oddly, this doesn’t surprise us at all.
