Hey! It's another normal day. Or is it. Sabrina used the toilet upstairs this morning and it was blocked. We were all in the bathroom at the time and I pondered out loud how come that toilet had been giving us problems for the last month. I repeated too the kids that only toilet paper went in the toilet.

"Maybe we flushed one of those" replied Mathieu. Is pointing to an empty toilet paper roll.
"Maybe. Or did it happen?" I just had to ask
"I think it did happen" replied my little guy.
"Who would have flushed that now I wonder" I told him, waiting for him to confess.
"I think it's maman" replied Sabrina.
"Uh?"
"Me?" answered Suzanne, a now that I think about it not so innocent look on her face.
"I'm pretty sure it's maman" answered Mathieu.

If I was playing Clue (actual name; Cluedo), I would say, with a high level of confidence:

"It was Suzanne with the empty toilet paper roll in the upstairs bathroom"

Suzanne?

I came across this neat little gadget that I'd like to get. Don't ask me why. It's called Little Printer from BergCloud.


Check out the video. I know it looks like a waste, but there's something about it.




Now there's another gadget I'd like to have, but it's not as cute. It's really a full computer the size of a credit card, for $35. It's for the hobbyist, for sure, but still, I have my eyes opened for the Raspberry Pi.

That's me when I was about Mathieu's age...


Thanks mom (from her blog). You can clearly see my Tintin collection on top of Santa and the Asterix behind Santa. The old turntable (the red-black-white box) brings in so many souvenirs. It's amazing how much one picture can bring back. Hopefully, this blog will do the same to Mathieu and Sabrina, and maybe even Max a bit.

You know, I always thought cooking a chicken would be the hardest thing to do. Suzanne is so right: little effort, lots of reward. Guess what we're eating tonight.
