It seems that at this time of year, everything happens faster. What! twelve days to write here? Halloween gadgets already in stores? Already four weeks in college? Already the leaves turn yellow and fall (fortunately, this is the Ashes)?
I'm in the garden, it is almost 18h 30. 
Here also seen by the mini-cam on my laptop. He quietly stripped. Annuals are fit, but there are only a few phlox, coneflowers and asters of starting. And in an hour, it will dark the sun will set, already.
I'm getting used to quietly stop smoking cigarettes but it's hard at times. Fortunately, I have a loyalty program outstanding (in addition to patches ): Sempé's albums. I always liked his drawings where the tiny alongside the grandiose, his cheek look at the everyday things and people. It does not make me laugh, smile often and always dreaming.
only flaw albums are expensive: a week of each cigarette. Ten days without tobacco for the first, found at the Librairie Pantoute during my too short stay at City Labeaume (ie Quebec).
Ten days without tobacco is not cher payé pour regarder cet album de couvertures du New Yorker. Les dessins, pleine page et en couleur ne veulent que rarement être drôles, ils sont des moments.
Me voici donc en quête de tous les albums de Sempé. J’ai d’ailleurs passé une journée complète à razzier les librairies de neuf ou d’usagé entre le Plateau et l’UQAM pour me rendre compte que c’est chose rare à Montréal. On peut toujours commander mais…
Ce que j’ai fait chez mes libraires locaux. Six à huit semaines de délai. C’est que le libraire commande à Socadis, filiale locale de Gallimard, which sends to her mother's Parisian Sodis (Gall. ditto), which sends it on the next boat.
As in colonial times, but more regular.
But I'm smart, I know Abebooks, used bookstores that I like (although I just learned that he was eaten by Amazon two years ago). I found three albums really cheap at a bookstore-on-Nowhere Nowhere (Maine et Loire). I have just received. Three weeks after ordering. This surprised me because the trader had used a postal rate mythical special cultural export drive be admitted to the Post Office itself, so rarely fast. And probably by sea.
Two command structures, one and two transport speeds.
There is a story in there. But it is not clear.
I think would love Sempé.
