had lunch with my buddies on Monday to celebrate a couple of birthdays…

ordered from Spice Circle the day before and we picked it up… we always need to check because many restaurants are closed on Mondays, which we have learned the hard way, lol…

we had a variety of items and found the food hot and tasty… my goat thali was very nice… the one thing I might change was the packaging as it didn’t all fit into one container…

but there were leftovers for another meal for everyone;-)…

smoked…

I love smoked Goldeye and don’t have it too often…

yesterday, when I was out with a friend we stopped in at Gimli Fish Market and I was able to pick one up…

today, I made Goldeye cream cheese for the future and had Goldeye with cucumber and onion salad for my lunch…

delicious, what a treat;-)…

bacon…

what a delightful day… got up, dressed, put out all the cushions and had breakfast on the back deck, admiring the ten or so poppies waving their lovely heads in the flower bed…

Hilda the Gardener arrived and started weeding and tidying everywhere…

a friend picked me up and we drove to Rosenort to eat and do a little shopping…

we had a delicious lunch at Lilystone Cafe, where we both picked up a few treats to bring home for later… I was happy to see them making great use of technology to take orders and prepare the bills… staff were friendly and treated us like family…

then we headed over to Lilystone Gardens, where we engaged in a bit of retail therapy, including a Christmas present… they are just now recovering from flooded fields and roads…

after an enjoyable return drive to the city we stopped at her house to check out some recent work and her very lush garden…

home, a wander around the garden to admire how tidy it is, and a sit down on the deck with a cup of tea and my book…

;-)…

spent some time out in the garden…

moved the pieces of furniture that were on the back deck and used the grass blower to get rid of a good portion of the debris…

then I had to use the broom for a lot of it that was stuck in the cracks… mostly bunny droppings, lol…

the wet areas dried throughout the day and will be ready for furniture…

after that was done, I sat on the upper deck and read my book for an hour or so…

saw white-throated sparrows and a Swainson’s Thrush, as well as one of my bunny buddies…

this was the first time that I was able to only have the screen open for the entire day…

so happy…

today I ate my lunch on the deck… first time this year…

yay… it has been a very, very long winter and spring has not been welcoming…

afterwards I sat, enjoyed some tea and read for a while…

looking forward to many more such opportunities…

today is Easter, so I decided to make all my meals a treat;-)…

for breakfast I had two poached eggs with a potato patty…

there may have been a little chocolate eaten…

lunch was the last of my dimsum from Gimli Fish… the three packages are around $10 each and they provide three meals… it is a great option for me…

I did have a laugh when I microwaved the first batch… instead of using the timing for the microwave, I used the ones for steaming… it didn’t taste quite as good as usual that time, lol…

supper was a version of stuffed pork chops which I used to make for my beloved and I all the time… I used country style spareribs over my homemade stuffing…

came out beautifully and the bottom of the stuffing was deliciously crisp…

great food;-)…

celebrate…

had a wonderful time with my BS buddies to celebrate Christmas, even after the decision to stop gathering in person…

this morning a charcuterie board arrived from DeLuca’s and I divided it into five along with a veggie tray, crackers and pistachios… there was ranch dip with it and I made some fresh hummus to go along with all the other goodies…

a couple of elves fetched gifts and then dropped them off at other locations with the boxes of food…

shortly after that we gathered by Skype and enjoyed our meal… there was lots of conversation and laughter… eventually we went around the rectangle and opened gifts…

lots of thought had gone into each offering… there were cozy things, handmade goodies, items for the kitchen, donations and love;-)…
