Erratic boulder painting

Starting

A few hours later.

The erratic boulder, on the corner of Summerstown and Glen Roads, has been painted for years. It's on private land so ask for permission before painting. It recently was sandblasted. Williamstown Fair 2025 is on 8th, 9th and 10th August.

Dandy's World is a game made in Roblox, created by users. Something completely new to me. Helluva Boss is a web series of musical comedy animated videos, something I could at least understand.

Not exactly mayonnaise with fries.

Happy Belgian National Day on July 21! Belgian fries with a little flag in the Sauce andalouse. Not mayonnaise, despite what the movies say! The lady making them said andalouse was the most typical sauce. Sauce andalouse has mayonnaise but also peppers and tomatoes. Serve in a cardboard inverted pyramid with a little pocket for the sauce, so you dip them. At Ferme Brasserie Schoune, 2075 Ch. Sainte-Catherine, Saint-Polycarpe, QC 

Liège style waffle with Biscoff cookie flavoured ice cream, which she said was the most typical Belgian topping. McDonald's is also doing Biscoff flavoured McFlurries this month.

Myrtille du Nord, blueberry flavoured beer - quite nice. Not sweet but sour. Myrtille is European French for blueberry. In Canada it's 'bleuet', and it is also a popular name for people from the Saguenay region of Quebec, where they grow a lot of blueberries.

Omemee ON,

Delayed Canada Day Fireworks near Chesterville, Ontario. Best I've seen this season. I was really close to them. Reminded me that fireworks in Japanese, 花火 'Hanabi', means 'Flower fire'.
