Saint George's Day
I almost forgot: it is Saint George's Day today. So happy Saint George's Day everyone. Nobody notices it or cares about it in England, ironically enough, not even my son, who is a proud Englishman. I used to celebrate it a bit more, at least on this blog. But I have come to neglect it too. Which is sad: we talk about a patron saint who is associated with a fight and a victory against a dragon. It always appealed to me, because I love folklore, myths and legends and, well, dragons. I should really make something about it on Vraie Fiction, a real blogging event.

Halloween Art and Crafts
I know you probably think I'm early to get into a Halloween mood, but apparently, it is contagious. My wife found on Easily Does It (don't know them at all, didn't even know of their existence since two days ago), that they organise a ton of family art and crafts workshops for autumn and Halloween. Things that Wolfie would enjoy, things that daddy would definitely enjoy doing with Wolfie as well (even though I am not very good doing art and crafts). And Wolfie's mummy, who is not very keen on Halloween, likes art and crafts. So we might sign up for some of them. Halloween workshops if we are in a spooky mood, but I would be happy if we merely go autumnal. In any case, preparing for my favourite time of the year, has become in itself a new and exciting family activity.

Mercedes en bois
J'ai déjà partagé une photo du même objet d'art en mars, mais je le refais rien que pour le plaisir. Mon père a pris la photo au Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Une Mercedes en bois de grange.

Saint George's Day
Happy Saint George's Day everyone! Especially to all my English readers. I never know how to celebrate. Not many places do in england, ironically enough. It is a shame, as a patron saint reknown for fighting a dragon should be inspiring for a national day. I can only dream of the things I'd do with it if I had the time, the know-how and the money. I might watch a few YouTube movies about Saint George or something. Maybe read the legend to Wolfie. But in any case, happy Saint George's Day again and beware fire breathing lizards.

About Michelangealo's David (from The Simpsons)
There is a certain stupid controversy in the US at the mooment. I will not comment on it, I will just leave here this clip from The Simpsons. In this episode. Yes, they were prophetic. And I'm not the only one saying it. I hope the clip makes you feel a little bit better.
