Today is Paddington Bear's 50th Birthday and Thanksgiving in Canada (or Canadia, as I like to call it).
Yesterday our toilet tank decided to give us a shower. The Toilet Strikes Again FYI -- make sure all hoses are attached in the toilet tank before attempting a "test flush"
Saturday (the day before yesterday) we had company all day long...it was a little like Grand Central Station there for awhile. We had a visit from Pila and Sam, Toby's newlywed Aunt & Uncle, and finally Mr. and Mrs. Evans. We had planned to see Jekyll and Hyde but settled for The Messengers because the prior was sold out. Chili was made and eaten, creepy movie was watched--"watched" is a very loose term...watching a scary movie at our house is kind of like watching Mystery Science Theater 2000--there's always a runnining commentary. After the movie, Stories were told and more laughing was done...ask Mr. Evans about the "one-eyed" cat.
Friday -- a night out. My Flat mate and I went to a dinner sponsered by her boss. There was a delicious chocolate mousse cake. So delicious in fact the chocolate content caused a major-minor migraine the next Morning.
Thursday -- Pretty much a blur as are the previous days of the week...
an eclectic smattering of the comings and goings of a vivacious, stunning, elegant, beautiful, witty, amazing, talented, brilliant, glamorous, distinguished, fabulous, pesky, cute, trendy, magnanimous and most recently--INDOMITABLE, 30-something-year-old woman as she explores the many splendored things offered by a very strange world.
