Time to head home. It was something like 16 years ago I first planned to go to Montréal and couldn’t because events, having finally made it to Canada it was as special as I’d hoped. Thanks to everyone I got to hang out with.

Montréal: very rainy (except today which was lovely and sunny), some exceptional food including my first experiences of a tasting menu and poutine, and playing the role of utter noob at a spa.

@DuncanBSS Spent the first 18 years of my life there, most of my family still live there and I know people who live on the street mentioned. These goings-on are all entirely in keeping with the Ipswich we know.

Making use of unlimited coffee on menus primarily as a method of having as many creamers as reasonably possible.

First impression of Montréal: the rain on the train window is so heavy it’s like a waterfall and you can barely see out.

One big international city isn’t enough for a big trip like this. Let’s do a second *and* see if I can justify the ‘speaks French’ bit on my CV

The problem with those rainbow strips of cloth people attach to their luggage becomes clear when every case arriving on the carousel has one #talesfromToronto

All the lookaftering has been organised, can y’all make sure the country’s still here when I get back?

Toronto, I’m coming to get you!

Wondering what it would be like to melt a whole tub of Quality Street* in a saucepan, then put it back in a tray to set in the fridge.

*wrappers removed, of course

Those who know me well will not be surprised that any change of taste using orange instead of lemon was totally obliterated by the quantity of garlic also used.

[mark @talesfrom]

Do fried garlic prawns go with orange as well as they do with lemon? Find out later on Kitchen Leftovers Experiments.

@im_so_childish @moogal This also applies to the process of having people round when you need to find a new flatmate.

@stardisco_ Get a good win on HQ - that could be the useful supplement to your funds you need.

[mark @talesfrom]

Wonder if any enterprising pub quiz hosts now schedule their intervals for exactly 9pm so the patrons can play @hqtriviauk.

@stardisco_ Goldie Oslo.

Hey, this thing sort of works...

[mark @talesfrom]

@moogal Yep, it was just the first music video with a rollercoaster in I could think of ^__^

[mark @talesfrom]

@moogal And the people of coasterbuzz seem to agree: https://t.co/UmjsrTvKXj

[mark @talesfrom]

@moogal I don’t, but I’m pretty sure that’s in the right ballpark.

[mark @talesfrom]

@moogal How about this one? Plenty of screen time in this case

@moogal If only You Bet! was still on. This would be the perfect sort of challenge for you.
