I am in a novel writing class … now don’t laugh! My stroke removed all of the words I had ( I couldn’t even write, read or think) but 6 years back from a stroke I WANT to write a novel. It’s hard, so …

… I am in a novel writing class. I began in September 20th and I made it to 4 classes. I handing in my piece of work on time and wrote on thing on paper for “the dream”. It is the major character having a dream. Not to worry, I had the major character in the novel as a robot and I couldn’t see what kind of dream he has. So I completed it as ‘Life vs Dream’ and he sank in water.

 

Right next to my townhouse, there is a trail that goes down to a park. First, we went to Serena Gundy Park. It’s quiet but you could hear all the noise filtering down – traffic noise from Eglinton and Leslie Street.

It’s quite small and was joined to the parks by a bridge across the river. Sunnybrook Park and Wilket Creek Park were the next parks to do but instead, we wandered down to Ernest Thompson Seton Park which was down the river bit beside one of the train tracks.

In Ernest Thompson Seton Park they had eighteen Frisbee holes with each one having a start plate and a finish. Dan, my daughter boyfriend that I talked to Wednesday, was quite willing to give me all of the information I needed as he plays Frisbee golf with his team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We made it past the Overlea Bldg Bridge, with its legs extending into the park as it goes overhead, and into the Thorncliffe area. Up, out of the park we came, and set off to my place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a really nice walk – cool but yet warm, sunny but cloudy and the trees were orange, red and yellow. It had all the things that we were expecting on a fall walk.

 

 

So Happy Thanksgiving for all you people who aren’t American. It is very nice to have the holiday early instead of the American Thanksgiving, so close to Christmas … 

I went downtown to Sultan’s Tent Restaurant, Front Street, to see belly dancing. Have you ever been there? We got there rather late; a reservation for 10:30 pm and the dancing began it 11:00 pm. It was fun. There were so many ladies there – brides and birthdays – and they all got up with the dancers to belly dance!
