I had to look that up…not taught in my high school French class vocabulary, for some reason.
Could lead to some awkward conversations in the restaurant…gonna be extra careful with my pronunciation the next time I visit Quebec!

You forgot the gravy.
Also…how dare you??? Poutine is Canada’s 2nd greatest cultural export (Nickelback is #1).
I tried haggis when I visited Scotland, and it…wasn’t horrible. Therefore, you are morally obligated to try poutine!

Oh, you won’t need to come to Canada…poutine is coming to you…just like the killer bees are relentlessly moving up into North America.
Resistance is futile…you will be assimilated!

You don’t need to try it Gordon even if you come to Canada, It’s not a Canadian dish. It from Quebec and for some unknown reason has spead across the country but still not that popular. Canada is a huge country but some people try and lump all of us as being the same. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Hope your having fun on you holiday. If you do ever come to Canada and like wine you need to go to the Okanagan Valley in BC. They make some of the best wines in the world. They win awards in France every year.

Haha yes. Same thing happens in the UK Rick. 
Hi and
I also notice that the last few days here when I want to play outside in the garden unreinforced electric under the porch or parasol, but still catch some sun on my black guitar … and then inside it really goes out of tune … …can imagine acoustic go faster out of tuning…
but you have to give something Gordon to sit there like this
Man …have fun

It’s going flat all the time which must mean I suppose that the guitar is heating up and shrinking slightly. Would I be right with that analysis Rick? @stitch
I’m keeping it in the shade as much as possible.
here sharp every time … now tuning my guitar after being outside earlier…a little sharper all strings
22.5 and 52%humidity…

The guitar should expand as it heats up and go sharp. It might be the strings are expanding faster than the guitar if it’s going flat. Both the strings and guitar should settle in after a couple of minutes.
On Sunday I was at an outside jam, it was 29c but I was in the shade. Guitar settled in after the first couple of songs.
Looks like your enjoying youself keep us posted.

Most everything expands when its temperature rises. Different materials are more affected than others. Metal expands more than wood, so as the temp goes up both the guitar and the strings get longer, but the strings moreso. Hence, they “slacken” and the notes go flat. So, basically what @stitch said.
Of course, if the humidity is changing as well, then that complicates things. I’m not sure, but I imagine increased humidity causes the wood to expand, while not doing anything to the strings. So, increased humidity would mean notes going sharp.
So, if you move your guitar to a hotter, more humid location, it might stay perfectly in tune!

Nothing to do with the Balvenie Double Wood, of course.
