We all had a surprise this morning, and for Jon it was a nasty shock. Jon went to turn on the TV to get his morning fix of the Local Forecast before breakfast. He flipped to 518 to get the forecast in French; to his horror he was greeted by an onscreen box saying we weren’t authorized to get this channel. Zut alors! Météo Média was part of the digital channel freebie month last month! (We had no idea – we only discovered the channel two weeks ago.)

It was a very teary breakfast. I imagine that after school today Jon will be trying channel 518 in the vain hope it was all a nightmare this morning. He’s already hit all four of denial, anger, bargaining and depression at various times this morning; let’s hope acceptance isn’t far away!
