today I was back at the physiotherapist office…

he was pleased with the progress with my knee over the last few weeks…

I can walk without pain although I still feel a twinge now and then… apparently it still needs work as I don’t have complete range of motion yet…

learned some exercises to do to strengthen the muscles in my thighs which will assist my knee… made me giggle as one of them reminded me of a yoga pose… it involved squeezing your shoulder blades and keeping your back straight… this is going to be interesting because I’ve never been able to accomplish that pose, lol…

very happy it is Friday and to celebrate I had some almonds with black currant chocolate from Soma Chocolate… the chocolate came as a cacao pod in a nest of chocolate twigs…

I put them into one of the darling new heart-shaped bowls that were one of the gifts from my daughter…

a delicious treat… and a lovely way to end the week…

today was my Friday off but I was very busy…

started the morning with breakfast from McDonald’s…

went in all on my own, ordered and then ate in the car… a lovely treat as I really enjoy their breakfast burrito and, of course, the hash browns…

then I spent some time in Staples… I do love me a good office supply store… similar to a candy shop for others…

later in the day I took Shadow in for a bath… so dirty that she looked gray…

last time I was there it took a long time for the wash to be done so this time I set my timer for 20 minutes and did some reading… when it beeped I watched for her and eventually went outside to be ready… I waited a long time and finally turned to go back in to see what was going on and at that point saw Shadow in a different part of the lot… apparently I should have turned around a bit sooner, lol…

but she looks great…

purple was top of mind all day yesterday…

spotted a number of purple things during my walk in the Gardens… as well as my little buddy, who had a lovely purple top and socks, lol…

after lunch with my friend and her sweetie I headed out to get my hair purpled… I noticed there is a lot of purple in my hairdresser’s studio as I took a last shot of the before, lol…

it hasn’t had any purple in it since before I went away, and a number of people have pointed it out, so I am very happy to have it done…

then it was off to watch some volleyball… apparently last year at the same time I was at the same tournament… the school has lots of purple in the halls, which is fun…

the boys played well and my grandson did a particularly great job with his serves… he is graduating this year, so likely we won’t be attending this tournament again… and I finally figured out how to get there, lol…

happy to be able to participate in special times, whether with friends or family…

cool…

this morning the sky was overcast and dull…

and it was rather cool…

got a few pictures of the Virginia creeper growing up the fireplace chimney at the front of the house…

the colours sure are cool…

very happy that it is Friday… seems like it has been a long week…

I am getting the start of a cold, which is not cool, sigh, so I treated myself to a lovely Thali dinner via SkipTheDishes…

woke up just before 5 to go to the bathroom and when I put on my glasses saw this beautiful moon out the window…

usually I see the moon out the window between 10:30 and 11:30 pm… seemed odd to see it so early in the morning, and was happy to get a great photo…

almost forgot to put out the garbage and recycling on my way to the garage… then I took a few pictures of the clematis… was surprised at how many flowers were open…

there are tons of blooms on it and more opening every day… starting the day looking at flowers is the best…

to top off the day, as I was making my supper I looked out and saw this goldfinch at the feeder…

haven’t seen many so far this year… got the best photo from upstairs…

sure am happy it is Friday…

been an absolutely crazy busy week…

Monday night my friends helped stuff nametags for an event on Tuesday…

Tuesday I brought the snack for our staff meeting… had great fun the night before finding treats that everyone could enjoy… cheese and crackers, nuts and fruit made for a tasty start to the meeting, lol…

then there were the flowers… picked up tulips for the event… have learned a few tricks to help transport flowers from home… they ride in the back seat in a reusable grocery bag, with the seatbelt on, which keeps them from falling over on the trip… used them at the staff meeting before they headed over to the venue… they looked great simply put into tall vases, and came back to the office to brighten our space afterwards…

more food was involved when I prepared soup for our Souper Thursday… 

rarely does it happen that we would have two events at work that one of us would be responsible for, lol… just my luck that I got so many things to do this week…

more flowers to celebrate a colleague’s birthday…

and finally today a gorgeous bouquet to take pictures of as someone picked up a treat for a family friend…

very happy it is Friday… gonna do lots of relaxing on the weekend…

tonight I took a picture of my seeds with a dark chocolate bar… ate a few pieces of a different bar, which was already open…

most of the seeds have been growing like wildfire…

the morning glories are doing amazingly… sadly, the moon flowers seem to be growing at a much slower rate…

this is my Friday off and I am looking forward to three days full of relaxing in the garden…

hurray, its Friday… very happy about this… been a long week…

sunshine started early…

this morning I finished planting the morning glories and moon flowers…

excited to see if I will get blossoms earlier than usual this year…

was bright and sunny the whole day and the temperature was 12 degrees when I was heading home… so nice to be a bit warmer…

made Japanese Ginger Pork Burgers with Bok Choy  and carrot salad for dinner… instead of the brioche bun, used romaine lettuce… how good am I;-)…

tasty and healthy…

hoping for warm and sunny days over the weekend…

wishing you sunshine and rest…

the sky was absolutely stunning this morning on my drive to work… from the moment I turned east until I turned into the parking lot it kept changing…

from pink and gold to blue and mauve the entire time… didn’t have a good spot anywhere along the way to take a picture and I don’t think I could have taken one that would show the actual beauty…

it was a lovely start to Friday…

I’ve been giggling since I got home and discovered that the reason the love sign in the window hasn’t looked right is the fact that the o was backwards…

was a great chuckle for me and a good start to the long weekend…

been a long week and I am very happy it is done…

after a nap I made Butter Basted Salmon with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Braised Collard Greens…

tasty… but I’ve decided collard greens aren’t my favourite, lol…

I like the fact that I have another meal prepared once I’ve cooked the dinner…

maybe lunch tomorrow…

my orchid is quite beautiful but I don’t think it is going to last like the other one did… it has already lost a few blossoms…
