Hamilton – Day 5
We started the day by walking across the street to the Ark and Anchor for lattés which we took back to the apartment to drink while I made breakfast. Ralph came out this morning and ate his breakfast, and then settled down for a rest in his litter box. I’ve never observed such behaviour…

Hamilton – Day 4
I didn’t see Ralph overnight, but when I came out of the bedroom this morning, he was sitting in the office and let me come in to pet him. He seem to enjoy the company, and ate when I put down his food. I cooked myself breakfast, and then walked one minute to an…

Hamilton- Day 3
Shortly after I finished writing the blog last night, Ralph came out for a little visit, and let me pet him again, but then disappeared into one of his hiding spots. Michael said that Ralph was chatty and stomping about the place overnight, but I didn’t hear it. My planned ride for today was…

Hamilton – Day 1&2
Yesterday, Michael and I came down to Hamilton because I am cat sitting for my daughter this week. Michael will stay with me for a couple days, but he uses four screens when working at home, so it’s a bit challenging working just on his laptop. Patti will come down and join me for…

Hillsburgh- Day 3
The day dawned, bright and sunny again, but cool, with the promise of a beautiful day for riding. Cindy’s sister arrived back before we left the house and I was able to meet her, and we visited for a while. She took the dogs to work, so we didn’t need to walk them this…

Hillsburgh- Day 2
After Cindy got up briefly to go to the bathroom about six, both dogs and both cats got onto the bed and hassled her until she got up. When I got up the dogs were outside waiting for us to come out and take them for a walk. Here is Rusty being extra cute.…

Hillsburgh- Day 1
Fresh from dog sitting for Cindy‘s sister in Whitby last week, and after only a few days at home, Cindy and I headed to Hillsburgh to watch her other sister’s two dogs and two cats for three days. We decided to drive so that we could maximize our time riding in a new area,…

Whitby 2023 – Day 4
The weather today was similar to yesterday, mostly overcast, and a very comfortable temperature for riding, not much wind, and very little chance of rain. I downloaded today’s ride, from the Durham Region Cycling page and it is a loop of Oshawa and Courtice. I altered the route to turn it into a loop…

Whitby 2023 – Day 3
The weather completely changed last night, and we needed cycling sleeves, and some of us, wind jackets, this morning. David and Dayle had to attend a memorial in Bronte this evening, so we planned a short day today, so they didn’t end up feeling rushed. The sun came out just after we left, but…

Whitby 2023 – Day 2
I awoke just before my alarm, momentarily confused as to where I was, then got up and looked out the window, to discover it was a dark rainy morning in Whitby. The rain was tapering off. We got into our cycling gear, picked a place to meet David, 8 km away, at the garden…
