Lovely. I'm coming back to Venice in March for a couple of weeks, and hope to return in November next year as well. Bill and I were there once in late November and it seemed a good time to visit - and that was before Venice Noir started up!

If I lived in NY I'd really want to believe he can deliver on his many promises. He can't. Not all of them are within his authority to do so. But I'd vote for him anyway, hoping he can bring at least some improvement to the lives of many people in the city.

I'm in Montréal for the month and my essentially transactional French is working fine. But it's been decades since I lived here and it doesn't come as instinctively as Italian does now, so I'm using far too many "permesso"s and "grazie"s. I remain in awe of people who speak many languages fluently.

I'm staying in the McGill student ghetto in Montreal, and not only is it Hallowe'en, but there's a game in Toronto tonight which could see the @torontobluejays.bsky.social winning the world series. It may be a very noisy night!

British politics have become fascinating. I listen to several of the Guardian podcasts, in part as a relief from the news south of the border.

I spent some time there last April and loved it. If I were a young mother in Venice, that would seem a great place to raise kids.
