There are telephones in the subway and if you don’t notice them they’ll still there. I wonder about this …
I was getting off the subway. Most people are going places, taking one train, bus and streetcar, hurrying to my next appointment and I saw a young black guy using the telephone in the subway!
I’m macrame-ing! I have created a plant hanger (I can’t show it to you because and picture isn’t printing) but it what I’m been doing! You can read about it on the www.KaleioCraft.ca website.
So, I went up to Avenue Road, the top end. It’s just before you get onto the 401. I parked my car on a little street off of Avenue Road and I walked. This was what I saw …
I passed the pavement at the corner that was like this:
And I went back to my car, it was co-old out and I went by the construction site. It smelled like WOOD and I was reminded of going through construction site when they were new.
A BIG house on the corner welcomed me into it! It was a new house – very expensive ($3,095,000) and I took off my shoes to go and visit. It was available between 2 and 4 and it had all the bells and whistles about it the real estate agent told me. The little house next door was dwarfed by the big house.
I am reading ‘Designing your Life: How to build a well-lived, joyful life’. I heard about it on CBC last weekend. The authors are Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, both in the Stanford Design Program and I loved that! Design is a collaborative thing … the right questions to ask and the right supportive community are important.
I starting reading the book in a book store and I read so-o long that I fell in love with it. I decided to buy it to do the exercises such as Workview, Lifeview and the Good Time Journal.
It is foggy outside. I’m out on the 19 floor with all windows hemming me in and I can’t see ANYTHING! It has been so sunny since about May and it feels like it did in the winter. Of course, winter was different but the same fogginess as it was then.
Canadian National Exhibition — and its held in the late summer between August 26th and September 5th. In London, Ontario it is held September 9th to 18th (a little late for me, summer happens before that) but I went to it in all those years I was in London.
We went by the Farm, the Beer Fest, shopping and we went on the Sky Ride (elevated into the air and transported across the grounds towards the Princes’ Gates).
I’ve never seen the CNE from the air as we did in the Sky Ride – a magical place we got to in the end. We were looking down on all these people living their lives totally oblivious to us looking down on them!
The Urban Adventures took on a tour of the beer in Toronto and I went on it … engaging stories, laughs, and lager – what a great way to spend an afternoon!
First, we saw the sites of Toronto on our way to C’est What. We were introduced to so many beers, British, German, and Canadian.
Then into the St Lawrence Market and we went for a wine tasting. Butter Tarts for our Brazilian friends on the tour and they didn’t know how GOOD they were. I didn’t realize that Butter Tarts are made in these part of the world … Ontario! Along with back bacon on corn meal which they have a bunch of.
I’ve seen them … the little pandas. They’re just like their mom but not as big! They were sleeping when I saw them … just barely! (Just barely! That’s quite a pun.) I watched fascinated. Wow! They’re just like real bears.
It’s May so I went to the other animals in the pavilions … there are 5 of them in the Toronto zoo. And this is what I found.
