August 2024 - Toronto ON

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 he turned 30! We'll be having dinner soon.

Monday Mural was from last week's trip along University.

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.

This is at least 5-6 years old.

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/changing the 40KM sign.

Some art on display in Scotia Plaza.

Royal York Hotel.

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 it "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
