Whoa....


Another fabulous Macca concert....Mull of Kintyre was stupendous but it was all fantastic. Despite being surrounded by assholes (again!) I enjoyed it. Michael Buble, whoever he is when he's at home was right by me and girls were wetting their pants to get a picture of him. I have no clue I've heard of him and he gives a concert at the AC Centre on Tuesday night. I think he's French (barf). Anyway could not get over Paul's energy level.....:) It was such a good concert as always. So many around me were up and down to get beer and it got really annoying after a while. I can't stand it when people go to a concert just to say they've seen someone or just because their friends are doing it - are you that desparate for a life people?

This morning I walked through High Park and then did the waterfront trail to the Humber Bridge - an area I've never been before. For breakfast I had a sad bagel at my B & B. Once I came back and moved my luggage to here I went for brunch. It was great - went to a place called the Church St. Diner and had eggs benedict. Yum. The art on the wall shocked me a bit to way the least and my eyes kept wandering to it. How can I put this delicately - it was pictures of dolls and let's say Barbie and another Barbie were having a good time as were two Kens. Yowie. I knew I wasn't in Saskatchewan anymore!! :)

This B & B is okay - the room is pretty small and while there is air it is weak and it can't be put up any higher or we will blow the whole power system according to the note. No breakfast but oh well - I do have my own bathroom and it's very nice.

Not sure what tomorrow will bring - gotta connect with my buds - I think we are doing the Beaches area before a repeat of tonight tomorrow night. It's gonna be good.

I was on the side and enjoyed it. I took some video, kept cringing every time a security person went by - force of habit!!! But they didn't give a rats - now if I'd had my SLR that would be a different story I am sure.

Cheerio!!!

Peeing on fish or a fish out of water

Well this morning we headed off by boat to Siem Reap.  Due to the low water on the Tonie Sap Lake (more like a river until near the end of the trip when it widened considerably) the trip would be an 8 hour one... It was supposed to be boring but ended up as anything but...in no certain order...let's see.... We had a rest stop (turned out to be the only one) along the way and the loo was just a hole over the lake and there were fish circling around underneath.  Yes it was just a hole in the floor...you definitely had someone watch your stuff while you went in or one false move and your camera/purse or whatever would be in the lake.  The fish either like the warm pee coming in or they are pervs and like to see ladies parts.  We were just a few minutes out when all of a sudden there was something flying over me and jumping all over the floor - a little fish!  Guess he wanted to join the tour.  Roger reached down and scooped him up while I hooted and hollered.  Okay it wasn&#

A walk along the coffin trail (and a couple of lakes) in the Lake District

While in the Lake District I wanted to do some light walking but not heavy duty hiking where I could easily get lost and my body not found for days partially eaten by hungry...sheep?  Anyway, you get the drift...not too grueling and safe for a solo walker.  I get a bit nervous when I am too far from civilization. There are lots of books about walking in the Lake District but they seem to be all about walking the fells in remote places...neither Thelma nor I fancied that.  While browsing in the post office/shop in Ambleside one day (if you are ever in Ambleside you must go there - a treasure!) I found a stand of walk descriptions on post cards.  And there I found my walk.  After all who could resist a stroll on the "coffin trail" in William Wordsworth country... I took a look and thought hmm...cafe along the route...that works for me. (with at least the security of knowing there was an available "loo" along the way.)  Okay, I may not have totally followed the

The highlights of my Fall 2023 trip

I'm back home after a great six weeks away. This was a "short" trip for me.  So here we go with an overview of my trip.   London London for me is always a good idea.  I fell in love with it back in the mid 70's and it's been calling me back ever since. Some of the best things in my life have happened in London.  When I learned my two Oz friends Loraine and Linda were going to be in London in the fall I knew I had to be there.  And what fun we had!!  Of course, I did loads of other things as well.  I spent two weeks there from mid September until very early October and then back again for four nights at the end of October before flying home.   After over five years (delayed for two and a half years thanks to Covid) of walking, I finally finished the 126 km Capital Ring.  The picture above is taken at the end of my walk and where I started in May of 2018 at the main door of Streatham Common station just steps from my B and B.  What a walk!  I got to see so much more
