Summer in the city

by

Toronto is such a great city. There’s so many things to do – especially in the summer. I like trying to go out to some of the food festivals and some of the music festivals. There is also several cultural and arts events going on.

Well there’s so many things going on it’s hard to keep up. You could do something almost every day if you wanted to and most of them for free.

One of the things that I haven’t done in quite a while is use Toronto’s fantastic bike trails. I have a pretty bad hand injury right now so I can’t ride my bike at the moment but when my hand is feeling better I think I’m going to put the bike rack on the car and get my bike and go and visit one of the great bike trails and take a long bike ride. It’s great exercise and the trails are quite lovely.

in the meantime, though, until I can get on a bike, I see what else is happening in Toronto and go and enjoy one of the great events that’s happening in the city.

You have interesting things happening in your city? Do you try to get out and enjoy local events?

I Have to get a new TV

by

I just discovered that the TV in one of my spare bedrooms upstairs doesn’t work very well. I guess I’m going to have to replace it sometime soon.

It’s an older TV. A small 13 inch TV. It used to be my mother’s and I inherited it, and put it in our spare bedroom. I have it mounted on the wall, so it’s high up and you can watch it from bed.

I suppose now if I’m going to replace the TV I’ll replace it with a flat screen of course I’ll have to replace the wall mount, which means I’ll also have to look at flat screen TV mounts as well. I have an old TV in my bedroom, I think it’s a 20 inch, it doesn’t work very well either. Maybe I can find a deal and replace both TVs at the same time with flat screens. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Of course these new TVs and wall mounts will have to wait until there is a little bit of extra money which of course there is no extra money right now. I don’t know when there will be. I’m sure it will be a little while before these changes happen.

The new Dallas

by

Have you been watching the re-boot of the show Dallas? I’ve been watching it and I’m starting to like it. I’m old enough to remember the original Dallas and this version isn’t quite as good in my opinion but it’s getting better.

I can only get the show Dallas on one channel I suppose it’s because it’s on a specialty channel. It’s funny, I try to tape the show most of the time and I can breeze through the commercials when I do, but when I watch it live I’m stuck watching the commercials and I see ones that seem to match the show I’m watching like ones for sprinkler systems houston which seems to go perfectly with the show Dallas doesn’t it? Odd though since I’m in Canada!

I wonder what other show they’re going to make a remake of next?

I need to get a little more exercise

by

Ever since I injured my hand I find I’m not as active as I used to be. I suppose that’s because I’m not getting out walking the dog or going out in the garden doing things as much because I simply can’t because my left hand is hurting and I can’t use it at all.

I even tried using my Wii the other day but since I’m left handed and I normally hold the controller in my left hand it didn’t work out that well. Not to mention my hand was hurting with all the moving. Maybe when my hand is a little better I’ll trying using a kinect xbox and see if that’s a little better?

Hopefully my hand won’t take that much longer to heal, but it looks like it’s going to be at least four more weeks and if I need surgery maybe 8 weeks in all …

Nick Wallenda crossing Niagara Falls

by

Are you watching Nick Wallenda as he attempts to cross Niagara Falls on a Tight Rope? He’s just about to begin his walk across the falls and I think it’s going to be a nail bitter.

I actually thought about driving to the falls to see the historic event but I couldn’t talk my husband into it. We live close enough that we could have gone.

I haven’t watched any daredevil acts like this on TV for quite a while but this is worth it. I wonder if he has any insurance! I’d image that he couldn’t even get commercial insurance with the stunts he does …

I certainly hope he’s successful. Ok .. he’s about to start. I must go so that I can watch. Go Nick! Good Luck!
