went shopping this afternoon…
the stores were all very full… apparently I should have left home sooner, lol…
first one I went into, I walked right out of because there were people lined up all the way down the aisle waiting for a cashier… as it happened I didn’t really need anything from there today…
then I walked around a home repair store where it seemed like everyone needed to stop in the middle of the aisle to chat with the person they were shopping with… and nearly everyone had a buddy…
finally, at the grocery store, I continued to end up behind people who needed to look at every item on the shelves to decide which one they wanted… and of course they stopped in the middle of the aisle… must have seen at least six staff people gathering groceries to be picked up… maybe I will give that a try one of these days…
can’t believe that five bags of groceries cost two hundred dollars, sigh… times, they certainly have changed…

this morning I started my day at the clinic doing bloodwork before my next appointment…
on my way back to the car I kept having to stop and watch the geese flying overhead… I cannot keep from looking up when I hear them honking…
then I met up with my walking buddy… we had breakfast at The Park Cafe, and noticed that all the geese that usually spend time in the pond were off filling up somewhere else, lol… afterward we wandered through the English and Leo Mol Gardens which are rather sad just now but it was great to be outside…
I dropped her off and we checked out her newly renovated garden… as I was leaving I got this pic of a neighbour’s Halloween decorations;-)…
when I arrived home, had a lovely visit with one of my neighbours… haven’t been outside at the same time for ages so it was great to catch-up… they usually spend a few months at their property in Arizona but with health issues they can’t get insurance so will be selling… they do have a winterized cottage just outside the city, so will spend time there…
seems like we have to adapt quite a bit as we get older…

had a wonderful afternoon…
picked up by my play buddy and we headed downtown…
excited to make it to Sleepy Owl Bread to purchase some Chocolate Babka…
stopped in at Decadence Chocolates and got a few bars and had a visit with Helen… she is in the process of making some amazing chocolate shoes for Valentine’s… usually all the photos are taken by me, but the shoe picture below is one that she put onto Instagram (@decadence_chocolates) this afternoon…
from there we went down the street to the Sherbrook Street Delicatessen for lunch… had a delicious chopped liver sandwich, with kettle chips and coleslaw…
then we were off to PTE to watch Salt-Water Moon… we park underground so don’t have to wear our bulky coats which makes for a much more comfortable time at the theatre…
today we even had time for a drink before the play began…
finally home for a nap and quiet evening…
