Happy Canada Day!

There are times when I wonder if the Hermit misses his home country. And then there are conversations like this morning's when I realise he doesn't ...

We were talking about Canada Day, and I asked him - because I'm merely an ignorant colonial oppressor - what the National Anthem of Canada was. Apparently it's something called - strangely enough - O Canada. And then the Hermit started to sing. And managed two lines. This is the man who knows albums-worth of obscure lyrics off by heart....

Happy Canada Day, eh!

He probably doesn't remember it because we usually had to sing half of it in French....... :)

Happy Canada Day anyway!

These boys, once they leave their countries of origin, they forget so much. Sometimes I ask the dude to "translate" American into BritEnglish and he can't. How do you forget your own language?

Hope you had a great day!! I actually have known many people here in the US that know O'Canada and not our National Anthem! That is sad! LOL
