Linking up with Marg at The Intrepid Reader
November 2023 - Toronto ON
August 2023 - Dawson City Yukon
Saturday was the usual laze around day.
Sunday we met up with my cousin and family for brunch at the Brogue Inn.
Tuesday I did some groceries and John got the winter tires put on the car. I filled three bags for charity, cushions, material, a mirror, shoes, clothes etc. John also got rid of a dozen t-shirts.
Wednesday I met my friend at her retirement home and we had lunch in the Bistro.
I had the east coast platter, shrimp and smoked salmon.
We didn't do much the rest of the week. John took the three bags to Value Village. He also got his wine bottled and picked up groceries.

READING
I finished The Angel, it is third in a series so perhaps that is why I didn't love it, not having read the other two.
I loved The Wife Between Us satisfyingly long and twisty.
I started Buried Lies and I am enjoying it as I did her other books.
You might have the space or facilities to store tyres but not everyone would. I guess there are companies who can do that for you.
ReplyDeleteActually they are stored at the Hyundai dealership.
DeleteImpressive that you are on top of cleaning out unneeded stuff. That’s an easy thing to procrastinate!
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I bet we would like The Wife Between Us. It looks like you had several nice outings with folks.
ReplyDeleteHappy (American) Thanksgiving! I'm just getting around to visiting my blog friends this week---apologies for being so late to the table.
I had never heard of Barry Sherman and his wife, Honey!
