Well the weather in PEI so far and despite hurrican Fiona has been very very mild, take today 27C with humidity, that is NOT normal folks and points to a climate crisis. Despite this our politicians will not speak of it, except in bland generalities so as not to scare the horses. Everyone complains about the price of gas and when it is suggested they look at EV cars they claim they are too expensive to buy despite a rebate of $15,000. They also drive a fossil fuel car worth $45,000 so that is not much of a logical arguments and they will wait 30 minutes, motor running, at the drive through for a coffee. Yes people are funny.
I had a bit of a difficult day yesterday, the weather was bad but mild and I was really depressed. I always try to be up and smiling for Will, he is the one who is sick. So being positive is important, though as I told him I do not like to go to the Cancer Treatment Centre, it is a depressing place starting with the lighting and the beige colours. The staff is great and very good. It is also a quiet place unlike the hospital next door which is a zoo.
Our friends on the Island have been great, bringing home made foods and giving support. A friend brought some Borscht, it was excellent, the beets on the Island are very sweet, it makes for a very good soup. Another friend brought a Persian Beef Stew and that too was very good. Others have brought vegetables from their garden and zucchini cake and a very nice piece of paté.
Speaking of food, I saw another spike in food prices yesterday at the grocery store, a few months ago any item was $5 or at least it started at that mark. Now its $10. despite the supply chain arguments, this no longer bear any credibility and it has been revealed that the grocery chains are making record profits in the billions. The Federal Government is finally looking into the matter.
Today the good news is that Will has put on 3 lbs the doctor was happy and he has to put on more. So fatty foods is the solution. Will also made today his spaghetti meat sauce, which is a combination of Veal, Beef, Meat of Italian sausage no casing, there is also carrots, onions, herbs all put into the food processor. Then into the slow cooker for 5 hours and voila. So for dinner I will have spaghetti, looking forward to it.

Sorry you had a down day yesterday Laurent. But you are entitled to have them. No one can be positive and upbeat 24/7! So cut yourself some slack and don’t stress if you’re feeling blue.

You are both going through this and I’m sure Will understands when you’re down. Great news about the weight gain. I can’t believe Will made his stew. I couldn’t even do that on a good day!

Stew? Cake? Pâté? Borscht? Will est-il capable de manger normalement maintenant?

Non, pas du tout. Il est toujours a la formule et au tube. Non cela c’est pour moi.

C’est normal, cher Laurent, d’avoir demoments où le coeur n’y est pas. Vous êtes deux à vivre et surmonter cette maladie. Les effets sont différents pour un et l’autre mais ils sont aussi réels. Incroyable que Will qui ne peut manger des solides en ce moment arrive à te cuisiner de bons plats. C’est un vrai signe d’amour et de remerciement pour toi. Courage. 😘

Good to hear Will is doing well. Take care of yourself. I agree with you on food prices. Our town has been put on a boiled water advisory. The local grocery stores immediately put up the price of bottled water. The grocery chains will charge exactly what they can get away with and not a penny less.

Of course price control could be brought back like in the 70’s or we could do what they did in Romania in 1989 line a few against the wall and shoot them.
