Almost a storm
It was stormy yesterday. Well, it almost was, anyway: for a few minutes it got dark, it rained, it thundered. And it was windy for most of the afternoon. Sadly, it did not last. I love storms, I mean proper thunderstorms, that's one of the few things I love about summertime. Wolfie, on the other hand, isn't too keen on it yet, but I try to make him change his mind. He got quite scared yesterday when he heard thunder. So he cuddled up to me when it started thundering. Which I'm not complaining about. I find thuderstorms so much fun, like a free light and sound show. They are so atmospheric.

Stormy Winds
Since yesterday, it has been ridiculously windy. It is Storm Isha's doing, apparently. BBC Weather even gave a yellow warning of wind, ending today at noon. So far, we've been all right, touch wood. I love windy days, so I am not complaining. As long as I can stay in the comfort of home, I actually enjoy stormy weather. For me, it's like Mother Nature is giving a free show and it is the best excuse to not go out without feeling guilty about it. Please feel free to give me your own take on it in the comments section. In any case, if it is windy where you are, or stormy, or both, stay home, stay safe and try to enjoy it. I know I will.

La tempête du vendredi 13
Une nouvelle qui n'en est pas une: il a fait une grosse tempête de neige hier au Québec. C'est pa première tempête de 2023. Ici, je désespère d'en voir une. Enfin bref, elle est arrivée un vendredi 13, ce qui peut sembler pour certains assez approprié. Moi, je me trouverais chanceux s'il y en avait une ici, je m'ennuie des grosses tempêtes de neige...

A Storm for Christmas
'Tis the season to be watching and I surprised myself in that regard recently. I wanted to watch something Christmassee but not silly and stumbled upon A Storm for Christmas, a Netflix miniseries. It is set in Oslo airport right before Christmas, when a snowstorm forces the flights to be cancelled and the passengers to be stranded. It follows an ensemble cast of characters who must face their own demons through the crisis that the storm brings. I started watching it not expecting much (it is usually the case when I watch something on Netflix) and I think I fund my ew Christmas classic. Julestorm, as it is called in Norwegian is touching without ever going soppy, people earn their happy endings, although for some they are bittersweet. I finished it today after binging it.

More weather warnings
So Storm Eunice came and went last Friday. From an amber warning of wind the night before, we went up to a full on red alert on the day. The wind was blowing hard and we remained safe inside. When it left, our garden fence had gone down, as if it had been a sheet of paper. I'm not too sad about it: it had always been a bit iffy and we suspected it would not survive a storm of this magnitude. So we'll have to change it. In the meantime, there is a yellow warning of wind this morning for our area, so we will stay inside again. I like windy days when I can stay inside.

Le printemps demain?
Demain, c'est l'équinoxe du printemps. Le début officiel de la saison. À Montréal et au Québec, je me demande si on va trouver que c'est bien le cas, à cause des résidus de la tempête de neige d'il y a moins d'une semaine. Je dis souvent que Vraie Fiction suit les saisons, dans ses sujets comme ses photos, mais parfois les saisons sont dures à suivre.

Une vraie de vraie tempête
Vous savez tous sans doute, et vous en avez fait l'expérience si vous êtes au Québec, qu'il y a eu une tempête de neige monstrueuse récemment. Je ne l'aurai pas vécue, mais mon père m'a envoyé des photos, dont celle-ci. Je devrai m'en contenter et par le fait même, j'ai pensé partager sur le blogue. Montréal et le Plateau sous la neige, c'est tout de même magnifique.
