Are here to stay?
It's been a while since I was here and I've been pretty busy!
My first Thanksgiving week here in Canada last weekend. Had a mini party at Mike's place on Saturday where his boyfriend cooked Indian curry which was superb! There was so much food, and leftovers, everyone had a huge take-home party bag haha. The desserts were amazing too! Good fun, good food, great company but it was really late by the time I got home and boy was I tired..
 |
| First time in London that I was above ground level higher than 3 stories (Mike's place is on the 9th) |
 |
| THEO! With his favourite toy |
 |
| "Please can I have some food?" Makes me feel so bad for eating! |
 |
| Gibson Park |
 |
| Nice, wide, empty stretch I like :) |
 |
| Bright red trees with Western's castle |
 |
| View from one of our 3 windows in the shop |
 |
| Right outside the Music Building |
 |
| Sunday's IESC Thanksgiving dinner - not too bad! |
I was utterly stoned in class on Tuesday morning............. Had my first solo performance for the singing class. Didn't go toooo badly although I was a little out-of-tune. The link to the sound my voice produces and what's in my head is rather.... rusty.....
Wednesday, I was taken on a little outing to COSTCO! The most wonderful place on earth! It's like a large place that sells things in bulk at warehouse prices! Look at what I got!
HUGE! For the price of CAD5.79!!!! What a steal!! Entry is by membership only, and they have like little booths all over giving out free samples... Oooooooo........ And the hot food place sells a LARGE hotdog and a drink for CAD1.50. Then to make Nanaimo bars - best thing ever!
We had our bake sale on Friday which was pretty successful but tiring. Good fun though and we're doing it again every Friday! People are really supportive and our food was awesome!
Look what I saw sitting beside the bicycle lots outside the music building!

| Leila wanted to pose - this is the mini guillotine which we use to cut our felts.. Really useful and cute considering each felt piece has to be cut 88 times to the same length.... |
Yesterday, not for the first time, I sliced my finger with the razor blade. I WILL NOT MAKE GLUE STICKS THIS WAY EVER AGAIN! My bad, I was stupid. But this cut was really scary because it was a LARGE slice and the blood just kept pouring......
Today we had a fire drill and had to stand outside in my shirt and jeans (no jacket!) in the little drizzly rain! Thank goodness for the relatively warm weather this morning of 11 degrees.... Then we had our little Wednesday drive to find PIZZA HUT! Yummy! They have this pizza where the crust has a sausage through it! Instead of cheese.... Didn't try it though but you could order a large pizza with two different toppings, in halves! We went all the way to White Oaks, that's really far out and I've always wanted to go there, it's huge! Visited Petsmart to buy kitty supplies for Anne. No rabbits there :( And then to Costco again! Bought a giant box of 48 Quaker bars for CAD11.99, which means it's about 20 cents for each bar. How awesome!
The weather was soooo lovely today, 18 degrees in the afternoon! When it was like -1 in the mornings over Thanksgiving week. Crazy fall weather. Went for a run in the park and I didn't even mind the flies! Miss running outdoors. Have been on the treadmill in the gym where I watch the TVs and get updated on Canadian news. The leaves are now bright yellow!
So I'm well on track with my diet and I'm a happy girl! And I can't wait to see Anne's kitty tomorrow!
