Your newsletters always make me smile dear Michelle! Merci beaucoup! Also, your topics and autobiographical incidents are very often "serendipitous" i.e. what you are writing about and what is going on in my life at the time that I am reading your essay often concur. It's not the first time that I have commented on that.
This time, in "The Most Embarrassing Thing", it's about the Karine Joncas patches. (Très drôle, en passant !). Earlier today, a good friend of mine was telling me about the puffiness under her eyes. In fact, she will be seeing a specialist tomorrow. So, as I was reading your essay, I wrote to that friend about the Karine Joncas patches in your newsletter.
I imagine that the patches are for your eyes. I also thought about the Elderflower Cooling Gel from the Body Shop, or was it from Marks & Spencer when the store was still opened in Ottawa in the eighties and perhaps nineties? Since that friend lives in a mainly English-speaking community in Northern Ontario, I doubt that she will have the nerve to walk into a pharmacy and to yell "where are my Karine Joncas patches?!" like you did! Ha! Ha!
Ah oui ! Happy New Year to you as well! I heard that we have until the end of January to wish someone a happy new year. It is a French TV quiz show host who made this remark. (Du pays où l'on entend "ça se fait" et "ça ne se fait pas", c'est-à-dire à cheval sur le formalisme et l'étiquette !)
