Linking up with Marg at The Intrepid Reader

I am using the above photo because John and I watched the movie Heist 88 last week and they were in this diner, reminding me I had this photo! Click here for its Route 66 history.
It was our usual low key weekend. John used the golf simulator.
It dawned on me that I could use my dryer (washer/plumbing problem, awaiting call back) so I did a hand wash of some essentials.
Look who moved onto campus for her first year!!
And turned 30! We'll be having dinner soon.

John headed out early to golf.
Spiderman on the side of our building.
I went to Yorkville to see what was left of this year's Mural Festival. It's quiet on a Monday morning.
New, but I couldn't find any information.
This is new.
They were busy dismantling the decorations.
Dahae Song, “BEING ONE”, uses three hues of blues to represent the spirit of the Earth,
captured in the air, light, and water of the lands, at the Four Seasons Hotel, Yorkville
Ave & Yonge.
I have never noticed this plaque at Yonge-Bloor subway station.
No idea what we did on Tuesday!
Wednesday John golfed and I picked up some groceries.
Thursday John also golfed. I went for a haircut and then did some shopping.
I've no idea why they were removing/change the 40KM sign.
Some art on display in Scotia Plaza.
Royal York Hote.
Finally I found some things to buy!
On Friday I returned the two t-shirts for a smaller size.
I wrestled the new chair cover. We like this one so much better as it has two pieces so "sits" better.
John suggested we try these, gluten-free. Very refreshing.
Solved! The mystery of the loud thud the other day!
COOKING
Saturday ham, colcannon. Leftover colcannon was great for Sunday breakfast with a fried egg.
We've been enjoying these!
Sunday wings and fries with coleslaw
Monday burgers and chips
Tuesday BBQ chicken legs (from Loblaw's - awful), roast potatoes and carrots
Wednesday spicy shrimp tacos with garlic cilantro lime slaw really good
Thursday pork schnitzel (without the mushroom sauce) with potato salad
Friday steak frites with chimichurri

READING
Mummy's Favourite the ending was quite the surprise!
Cold Grave a rich, good police procedural.
Daddy's Girls was a great read.
Liar Liar I just started.
Love the colours in Yorkville and the display at Royal York hotel. Thank you for your weekend coffee share.
ReplyDeleteNice photos of those murals!
ReplyDeleteThose murals are gorgeous. Our town just got a new mural. Murals seem to be something towns are doing now.
ReplyDeleteI think we will be seeing more and more movies and books that include rogue robots. The Orville has a couple of episodes about this.
