Today, as we have been doing on many Sunday mornings for the past few years we headed to Wild Water Kingdom. My sister and her husband and two boys gave us passes for Christmas. Today Victoria and her family joined us. Victoria is my sister’s sister-in-law. I stayed out of the water because of theContinue reading “Sunday August 24 – Back to Wild Water Kingdom”

Saturday August 23 – Nostalgic Play Day
Today we didn’t plan an outing. Michael and I cooked a big breakfast of waffles, sausages, bacon and eggs. Our friend’s children always ask for it when they visit us. It has become a tradition. By the time breakfast was prepared, consumed and cleaned up most of the morning had passed. Instead of heading outContinue reading “Saturday August 23 – Nostalgic Play Day”
Chinguacousy Park
This morning I rode my road bike to physiotherapy for my wrist. The round trip which normally takes just over an hour took 43 minutes. I love how much faster I can get around on my new bike. What I don’t love is the learning process for riding with clipped in shoes. I had myContinue reading “Chinguacousy Park”
Great Summer Day
My friend Victoria and her children from St. Thomas are visiting us this week. One of the activities we always do when they visit is go for a bike ride. Here we are about to head out. It always surprises me how long it takes us to get going. Sunscreen needs to be applied. ShoesContinue reading “Great Summer Day”
Day Out At Wild Water Kingdom
Today Trystan and his friends Edmund and Zack, Owen and I went to Wild Water Kingdom for the day. It was the warmest day we have had lately, although I wouldn’t call it hot. The kids were fine, but I wore my short wetsuit to keep me warm in the breeze when I was wet. Continue reading “Day Out At Wild Water Kingdom”

We drove to the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood in northwest Brampton which is a planned neighbourhood which includes: a transit hub for GO TransitContinue reading “Day Out in Brampton”
Boring Recovery Weekend
My knee swelled up alarmingly as the evening progressed on Thursday after my fall from my bike. I had a physiotherapy appointment for my wrist on Friday morning and consulted about my knee. The therapist suggested I rest, elevate and ice it for 48 hours. I was also advised to use a tensor bandage whenContinue reading “Boring Recovery Weekend”
“Be prepared to fall. Everyone one does.”
“Be prepared to fall. Everyone one does.”, Elaine told me in a comment on my Cars and Bikes post two days ago. Last night I practiced getting my new cycling shoes into and out of the pedals, in the house against a wall. This morning Owen and I called on his friend Emma and weContinue reading ““Be prepared to fall. Everyone one does.””
Doctor, Movie and Pick Ups
The day started with a trip to the ophthalmologist for Alun who has had a teary eye for months. Turns out the tear duct is blocked. We got some new eye drops to reduce inflammation and he is to massage the inside corner of his eyes. We go back in four weeks to see ifContinue reading “Doctor, Movie and Pick Ups”
Cars and Bikes
My day started at the garage today. The radio in our van was replaced after it stopped recognizing ipods and phones that were plugged into it. A few months after that it stopped working altogether and made a popping noise every few seconds whether or not the van was turned on. A computer reset fixedContinue reading “Cars and Bikes”
