In S.W. Ontario we are having some lovely weather, still wearing my summer clothes during the day, the evenings are cool so a sweater is needed.
A busy week, yoga, coffee and chat afternoon on Monday, Wednesdays quilting meeting, not at our regular location this time. But at a local shop which sells articles of all shapes and kinds, which are made locally. There is also a meeting room, which usually hosts classes, was available on this day so an appointment was made for us to go there this month. The shop owner gave us a talk on how she and her daughter started the shop and where all the pieces which are available to purchase were made.. We then had our meeting and light snacks, followed, of course, with us all browsing around to look at and purchase some of her displayed pieces. I resisted the temptations, but fell in love with a bowl carved from a root of a large apple tree, however, I could not justify the cost of it so left it for someone else to enjoy.
On Thursday, a trip to the pharmacy for a Rx refill, also enquired as to when the flu and Covid shots would be available. Covid shot was administered, but need to wait a couple of weeks for the flu shot. Then on to Service Ontario to make an appointment for my 80 year old driving test. Oh! we can do that right now, said the person on the desk. Test done, photo taken, I can drive for two more years.
Friday, picked up a few groceries, and washed my car, Happy hour in the evening.
Yesterday, went to a local theatre, I say local, it is a good hour and 20 minute drive from where I live, A lovely day for a drive so didn't mind the sitting for that long, We saw, "The Wind Coming Over the Sea" by Emma Donoghue. It is a true story of a family coming from Ireland to Canada, and all of the hardships they encountered. Enjoyed it very much. Emma Donoghue, also wrote "The Room", the play and movie both of which I have seen in the past.
Today is the 8th birthday of one of my great grand daughters, Mum and Dad do not have a party for their children, but each one gets to choose what they want to do for their special day. Usually each one choses something simple such as a shopping trip for a piece of clothing and then a food they particularly like but don't get to have often.
As it is such a lovely day, I plan on going for a walk during the afternoon.
Have a great day
Cheers
It was particularly hot this afternoon so didn't attempt a walk, just worked in the garden. Sounds like you have been your usual busy self this week. That play sounded worth a visit. I wonder if it will come to a theatre near me!
ReplyDeleteWe have been spoiled with all this lovely weather. It was super nippy though here in Barrie first thing today. Well done on resisting the temptation on buying the bowl. I am trying to not bring in anymore nik-naks into the house!
ReplyDeleteToday has been the first where there was a nip in the air first thing, but later on the sun was really warm. But the leaves are changing and we still haven't got our garden to bed for the winter as it were, but a few dry days and we'll get it done.
ReplyDeleteA busy week! The play sounds interesting. Hopefully it will come in our area one day. I have just read the whole story line looking on Google. Thanks for sharing that. We are still having very nice days, sunny but a little cooler. My kind of weather :) I have not resisted temptation, in that I bought two or three Fall decorations as I didn't have many and wanted the place to look a bit more festive. I will probably keep them out longer. Wishing you a happy weekend.
