Day 27.....retrospectively.....

Day 27........retrospectively........

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases

.........and No, I didn't forget to write yesterdays Blog but I chose not to write it.

Why, you ask? Well, to tell you the truth, I was getting fed up writing when I was tired and feeling like I wanted to be in bed rather than writing and it wa kinda taking the fun out of writing. So, at my brilliant hubbies suggestion, I've decided to write the blog earlier in the day..........except that it's now 7.30pm, so not much earlier for day 1 of my plan.
Still, it's better than midnight-right.
So yesterday......what happened? Bill remembered that he had left his sunglasses in the car-rental which we had dropped off on Monday lunch-time-oops. Now, if it had been my sunglasses (£5.99 out of Allans chemist a couple of years ago) we would have just went out and got me another similar pair from Walmart but Bills were slightly more up market than mine and when I say slightly, that's underating them 'cause they were Ray Ban. So, a trip up to the airport via Torontos finest transport and a visit to the lost and found lady at Avis/Budget. Unfortunately-no sign of the specs but the car was checked out 1 hour after we dropped it off so we are hoping that the company did a really poor job of checking the car and that the folks who have it rented till this Sat will be honest, if they come across them in a dark little compartment on the drivers side of the car. Is that too much to ask for? We'll see. Bill is now wandering around Toronto in my sunglasses which are very 'fetching', I have to say. His eyes are more sensitive to the sunshine than mine, so I'll be grand till he get's his back on Monday. After the airport-run we had a wee bite to eat, at home and headed off to Ikea to sit on Sofas. It was a beautiful afternoon and so we walked there, which was around an hour's walk. Bill picked up a Dairy Queen Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard (a bit like a McFlurry) and I picked up and iced Cappacino from Tim Hortons en route......well, we were walking off the calories and technically, we're both on our summer hols.
After sitting on loads of sofas and looking at options of colours, I finally decided on a black leather-look 3 seater. It won, over my initial choice of an off-white lovely one because I pictured myself living with my 2 daughters and an off-white sofa.
'Don't eat those cheesepuffs there'
'No you can't have dinner in front of the tv'
'Who spilled their juice?'
'Why is ther chocolate stains all over this cushion?'
.....Now you get the picture. A black wipeable surface is going to be so much less stress for me.
Downside of my choice......which came with a groan......it was out of stock!
Hopefully more are being delivered tomorrow and I'm hoping that by the time I'm blogging tomorrow, that I will be sitting on said chosen sofa.
When we came out of Ikea, we headed back around the way we had walked in, which was different from the way the girls and I had been going in because the bus stop was at the far side of the building. At the near-side of the building, Bill and I discovered a shuttle bus going to the subway station and it was leaving in 3 minutes time-big score. Home in 20 mins rather than a potential 40 plus minutes depending on buses. Plus, it's only a half hour walk to the Kipling subway station, where the Ikea-shuttle bus runs every half hour, so in future I can get some exercise and go to Ikea for a free coffee and wander-another score!
Chrissie Smith......I'll leave you details and directions when you visit next summer-lol.
A quick bite to eat....again, before heading to the Ball game to see another Blue Jays win-yippee. Plus the roof was open and it's always great seeing the darkness fall and the floodlights become brighter and brighter. Celebrating the win with a big glass of wine and an episode of 'The Dome' when we got home and the result was Bill having to wake me up at 1.30am to drag me up to bed........first time in a month.
So, that's yesterday, which was day 27 and here I am at the close of day 28 but I will save writing about it till tomorrow, now. Suffice to say, I'm doing laundry 'cause Bill's at th baseball with Andrew tonight..........and I'm also typing to you.
Sending out much love....again.
