Hopes

Hi,

Our weather has been warming up very gradually.  Last week a thermal shirt, a hoodie and a jacket were standard ‘warm clothes’.  Today, a T-shirt and light jacket were enough.  It’s getting warmer every day until the end of the week, then a major reversal.  Oh boy.

The ‘Old School Friday Holiday Special’ was “Merry Christmas Baby” by Charles Brown.  Remember that, because there will be a test next year (555).  This week’s ‘Easy Monday’ song is from across the pond:  “I met her in a club down in old Soho where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola.  C-o-l-a, cola.  She walked up to me and she asked me to dance, I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said __, __-__-__-__, __, __-__-__-__ __”  Hint:  This song has been on the playlist for years, so it should be easy by now.  It’s kinda kinky.  Oh, the title is a name.

The weekend was pretty mellow.  We stayed away from the annual ArtBridge opening featuring works from all of the artists, even though we’ve missed it for many years since we’re usually in the States.  As we suspected, we could see from the photos there was no social distancing.  We have made plans to go to the annual Flower Show on Wednesday with Cat.  The opening for that was not very crowded compared to past years, and a weekday morning outside should be pretty safe.  Most of our ‘outings’ were to The Wanderer, where they have installed a digital thermometer and a contact sheet.  Our province is still free of the virus, but everyone is taking stronger measures since the southern part of the country is having problems.  

Today’s photo is another orchid from The Wanderer.

Sunday evening we took Cat and Noom to the Riverie Hotel to see the big light exhibit that I shared with you last week.  They had fun taking lots of pics and posing in designated spots.  We had heard that the lights on Clock Tower street were nice so we drove downtown.  The theme was lots of white lights that didn’t have the same impact after being blown away by all the color at the hotel.  Some people like it though.  

Have a Great Week.   Don’t forget to cover up and stay safe.

                             Peace,

                                       Danny
