Summer is here

Here she is with 'the Munshi', who was much cuter in the movie than in real life.  Victoria Day marks the first weekend of what Canadians consider the coming summer, good, bad, or indifferent, and being Canada, believe me, it could be any of those.  We're the only ones in the Commonwealth who celebrate her birthday, not even the British celebrate it.  It certainly goes along with how Canadians have considered themselves colonials all this time (that's not a complaint!).  We only got our constitution, called the Charter of Rights, in 1982.  We considered the basis of British Common Law good enough for us since New France was lost by Louis-Joseph de Montcalm (such a pity!) all the way back in 1759.
