Firing up my memory

After a needed sleep in,
we go for a walk to have dim sum with a neighbour.
A lovely time and then home to rest…

and fire up my memory…
Today is blog catch up day.

Grateful today for
a day to relax and recover from the events of the past few days,
the PGA streaming the Ryder Cup for my mate,
and for my notes to help me remember past days.

Time with Friends

Fun times with my exuberant pal,
lunch and web tech problems sorted through.

Always a lively evening when Stu returns his travels,
and today is no exception.
A happy gathering for a drink at Wellington, dinner at La Fenice with PJ+M,
and a nice return walk.

Grateful today for
happy times with friends.

Chef’s Table @ Marben

After a day at school, complete with quiz (tougher than the last one),
I return home to putter about and prep for the evening.

Delighted to be entertaining special guests,
the chef’s table at Marben is more than I could have anticipated.

Returning home,
I feel compelled to roast beets for a beet salad…
Our new neighbours are outdoors and I get a full tour, while the beets are roasting…

Grateful today for
business relationships that are decades long,
meeting our neighbours,
and for a completed beet salad. (hopefully it’s a tasty one!)

Happy Friday!

The start to a fun Friday is picking up a few Beastwiches…
Uncle Stu arrives to begin birthday celebrations and we have a jolly afternoon together.
By early evening, my mate is back and the pre Bruce Springsteen show drinks are on…

Others leave for the show, and I wander over to visit with PJ+M…
later in the night to see the genius boy wonder at a queen street bar – my first hipster beer and met another Forest Hill grad of 2006.
A super fun time.

Grateful today for
living in a lively neighbourhood,
and for the diversity of events that happen in it.

Saturdays with Matie

I love weekends with my mate.
Relaxed day – walking to the market, lunch at King’s Cafe and hanging out at Wellington together.

Our current favorite treat – a drink at Le Select Bistro.
Got to try the hard boiled egg too!

Grateful today for
quiet days,
and food for a party of 2.
