Ah, look, the light bulb has burned out. It doesn't work anymore. I'm going to have to change it. Well, I have two, you see. And one of them doesn't work anymore. So, I'm going to try to dismantle the system. Hop. Well, it's quite easy, you see. You just have to pull, and then the fixture comes off. And the bulb, you see the bulb, it's there. It's a bit of a special bulb. You see, I don't have bulbs like this. I'll have to go buy some. So, uh, well, it's not a big deal, I'll go buy some. I have another bulb in the kitchen that doesn't work anymore. It's the same one. I never changed it because it wasn't necessary, really. In the kitchen, I have a lot of spotlights, but here, you see, in the bathroom, if I only have one bulb left, it's a bit tight. It won't be enough. So, there you go, I'm going to go buy some. So, I'll admit to you that I really don't have the courage to go buy light bulbs tonight, huh. It's super cold, it's dark. Well, it can wait until tomorrow. I can go get the light bulbs after work. You see, I think that's the best thing to do. And for tonight, well, listen, I'll manage with one bulb. It's not the end of the world either. There you go. Well, I'm leaving work and I'm going to go get my light bulb. I took... wait, I'm looking in my bag... I took the bulb with me because I don't want to make a mistake, you see. I don't know if there are many bulbs that look like this, but if the base is different, I won't remember it later. So, there you go, I took it. It's a safety measure. So, I'm going to go through the mall because it's a bit cold. So, there are a lot of people right now because it's the holidays. But to go to the store, it's Canadian Tire. It's a big store for everything. Not food items, but they sell a lot of things for the house. So I'm going to go look for light bulbs by going through the mall. It shouldn't take me long to cross, you see, five minutes. But there are a lot of people, you see. After work hours, people come to do their Christmas shopping. There are a lot more people than usual, but well, it'll be fine. So, you know, I don't really do Christmas shopping. Christmas doesn't particularly interest me, you see. But there's something I haven't told you yet, and that is that this year I'm going to France. I'm going to France for Christmas to see my family. So I'll be leaving soon. In fact, I'm leaving next week. I'm going to see my family, I'll land in Paris, and then I'll take the train to Lyon because my family lives near Lyon. There you go. And I also have family in the south of France. So I'll also go to the Montpellier region. There you go. So I'm not staying very long in France, but I'll stay for a good week, and I think I'll be able to show you a few little things, what I'll be doing there. We'll see. We'll see. You know, I'm going mainly to see family because it's been a very long time since I've been to France. In fact, I was last in France in 2019. I don't know if you can hear well. In 2019, you see, it was just before the pandemic, actually. There you go. And so, I haven't had the chance to go back since. So, I think it must have changed a lot, you see. Well, I won't have time to walk around Paris, huh. Don't dream. I arrive, I take the train, I go see my family, and then I leave again. There you go, that's how it is. It's a short trip, but it will be nice to see the atmosphere a little, you see, because it's been quite a few years. Well, there you go, I'm almost outside. I'm taking the escalators. Hop! And then I'll go out. So here I am in the square where there are always tons of people, but well, it's okay. There are always things here. It's Christmas. Yes, it's Christmas. It's still quite light. That's good, it's pleasant. When it's sunny, we have a bit more light because as soon as it's gray, it gets dark immediately. So you see, it's 4:15 PM, I think. And it's still nice and bright. That's good. It's windy though, huh. That wind, we'll keep it until May, June. We even have wind in the summer sometimes. Well, come on, I'm arriving and, uh, I don't plan to linger too long in the store. I'll go directly to the light bulb aisle. I'll see what I need and bye bye. Well, there we are. Uh, from what I remember, it's straight ahead. So we'll go straight ahead. There's a whole bunch of stuff in this store, but it's true that as soon as you need something, you're sure to find it here. So, there you go, I'm coming this way. So, light bulb, please. That's DIY, paint. Wait, maybe on the other side. I'm turning. It's a bit too much DIY over there. So, here? No. Damn. Well, I didn't look properly. I need to go slower. I'm so rushed, in fact, that I'm wasting more time than anything else. That's the outlets. No, that's the paint. It's weird. It's there. Ah, it's there. That's it, that's it, that's it. I found it. So, wait, I'm going to look. You see, there are a lot of things here. I'm going to take out the beast. Ah, well, there they are. Wait. So, as I was telling you earlier, you have to be super careful about the bases. You see? You see this? It's not the same base. I see it's smaller. So, and then these, look, I'll show you. You see these, they're screw-in. So that's not what I want either. Wait, are there any over here? Yes, that's it, I found them. These are the ones I need. You see, they're exactly the same. Okay, well, perfect. There you go, I'll take these and then I'll go, uh... I'll go pay. There you go. Cool. Well, there you go, one good thing done. I'm going to go home and then I'm going to install the new light bulb. Uh, I think it will go well, huh. There's no reason why not. It shouldn't be difficult. I managed to remove the bulb without a problem. So I should be able to manage. So you'll be with me. We'll do this together. You'll support me psychologically while I change my light bulb. So all these things, I don't really like doing them, but you have to do them. You see, that's why I never changed the kitchen light bulb because I'm a bit lazy. But here, for the bathroom, since I have no choice, well, I'll do it. We'll do it together. See you in a bit. That's it, you see, I'm ready. I have the bulbs and I'm going to open the packaging. So, I'm going to get my scissors. I'm going to cut the packaging, that's what protects the products we buy. So I'm going to cut and that's it. I hope it works, huh. I'm going to take one bulb, just one, and here we go. Well, so, in your opinion, is it good or not? Will it work? Normally, you shouldn't put bulbs in with the electricity, but I don't think there's any risk. I'm going to try. I need the light. Will it work? Oh my gosh, it's not going in. Ah, yes, it's okay. There you go. Great. Is it the same brightness? I'd like it to be the same brightness, the same power, but it looks like it. So you see, it's not rocket science, huh. I'm going to put the fixture back on and then that's it. Hop. There you go, mission accomplished. I was able to change my bathroom light bulb without a problem, and I hope to be set for several years. There you go. Well, listen, see you soon because there will surely be something else very soon. Ciao! Bye.
