Definitely not a day to go anywhere! The Gardiner is closed all weekend for winter repairs. Therefore all east-west routes were backed up and everyone is forced onto Lake Shore. Our only way home, west bound, is Lake Shore.
We have to take that left lane and you can be sure many in that lane are not going to be turning left but will cut into the right lane as they near the traffic lights.
Good old homemade spaghetti sauce and cheese bread for dinner.

Heading for a haircut, there's always something to photograph.
Cool reflection.
Windows at Rexall showing Toronto neighbourhoods.
This rather grand building is now home to the Irish Embassy Pub, it began life as the Bank of British North America’s main Toronto branch.
It has a wonderfully ornate mansard roof. You can see the slate tiles, iron cresting, and classical details around the hooded dormer windows in the photograph.

Later in the afternoon I met a friend for coffee up in our club. It had rained most of the day (quelle surprise) but I still got a few pictures.

A gorgeous sunny day but windy! There won't be any leaves left on the trees after today.
Waiting for the bus.
We had poke bowls at Su and Bu, I loved my tuna but John hated his rubbery chicken.
Pastries on display at The Bay.
Darn I just got a new toaster. Only $799 for this Dolce and Gabbana model.
Words to live by, on the back of a dressing gown.
Iconic American toy brand FAO Schwarz at The Bay, but not for long.
The New-York based retailer has opened pop-up spaces at every Hudson’s Bay Co. store.
Wednesday
I had to return something to The Bay so I headed there early.
More progress at Union Station, the canopy is being installed down York St.
Dish Towel for sale in The Bay. I'm worried someone might buy it for me.

Oh what a miserable, yet again, rainy day. I went out for steaks for dinner and to pick up a couple of items for our trip. Other than that, we started getting things ready, laundry and so on.
This was really a mundane week for us, no fun outings but that's because we are gearing up for Spain! We leave on Monday so the weekend will be filled with packing and making sure we have all our electronics, cables, batteries etc etc.
Even though we are joining a tour we have planned several days on each end to further explore Madrid and Barcelona, so I have worked out a daily plan, mainly because I love to plan!!!

What a great series of photos, and some amusing commentary to go along with them. (And I love that expression "quelle surprise".) I'm glad but sad to see drivers are the same no matter where you are: your comment about people being in the left turn lane who will then cut off drivers to stay to the right. I was also surprised at how much Fall foliage seemed to be on your trees, when you're much further north than me (US, Connecticut) and most of our foliage is gone, but later on you said most of it would be gone (I'm assuming after your latest rain). It was a delight to visit your blog and see this post. It made my Saturday morning. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne, for dropping by. Amazingly, we still do have some fall colour.
DeleteYour High Park shot is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThe Schwarz pop-up turned up at the Bay here downtown as well. I didn't see the walk on piano keyboard until I'd stepped on it.
The dressing gown slogans are so good.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting good old-fashioned spaghetti in marinara sauce for a long while. It's not easy to find that taste I remember as a kid. Maybe it was simply my imagination. I also liked Chef Boyaredee Spaghetti-O's.
ReplyDeleteI loved Chef Boyaredee Spaghetti-O's also!!!
DeleteLove the Robe! Made me smile! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteIt's been very rainy here too, but nice to see your photos of fall color. The pasties look beautiful! As much as I like going to FAO Schwarz, I'm in denial about Christmas -- really coming up quickly.
ReplyDeleteI think I need that dish towel (not that it's true for *me* or anything!). And I love the book sandwich too.
