Off The Eaten Path

January 2020 - Toronto ON

2020 - Toronto ON

We spent the weekend as we usually do, watching what we wanted, reading.

I came across this article about a song A Bad Day on the Subway


We didn't do much this week. John met a friend for lunch. I did some poking in the stores, nothing bought other than fruits and vegetables. A Costco run.

When I was out on Monday the Scotiabank Arena has this tribute on their big screen.



Thursday we went to the Distillery District for the Light Fest. It was a cold night but we bundled up.




















Lots of yarn wrapped trees.





YAY a display inside!

Grabbed the streetcar and had a Starbucks while waiting for the bus.

Friday I checked out the Oreo pop up in Union Station.

An OREO shop has popped up at Toronto’s Union Station to offer free cookies for a limited time.






A memorial outside the Scotiabank Arena where the Raptors play.

BOOK ENDS

Not a lot of reading done, I've been binge watching The Final Table on Netflix.


And started on The Chef's Line.


I did try to be a serious reader and started The Golden House by Rushdie. But I just couldn't stick with it.

Instead I went to a Canadian, Louise Penny, The Kingdom of the Blind and am enjoying it.
