Broken Area

Lot’s of technical difficulties in the past two weeks, but we’re back.

Where are we back from? We are back from Kingston where we visited Ken and Jackie!

It was great.

We saw some cool old rare books.

We went on a tour of the old Kingston Pen.

Generally we hung out with our friends and it was glorious.

Thanks Ken and Jackie!

James Earl Jones had nothing to do with this one.

We lamented the news, and the lack of it.

We used to read the paper every morning, and while it is now replaced with websites, it’s not the same.

Rainy day.

About 14C out, no biking weather.

Canada won the 4x100m men’s relay, so that’s great.

Very warm today, there won’t be a bike ride.

Indeed, I even mowed the lawn early today.

I say ‘fair to middling’ a lot.

We went to Timmins!

Timmins is interesting enough. People were very friendly.

Our hybrid car continues to amaze.

Very warm today, so no bike ride I don’t think.

I will mow the lawn though, yay…

Isabelle is doing some art today with our friend Ray.

She makes ink out of stuff and things.

LCBO today.

Today was a parade Isabelle wanted to see, so, she saw it.

I shopped. When I was done she FaceTimed with me (as you can see here).

I’ve pretty much figured out how to keep the. grocery bill pretty steady, but it involves knowing how to cook.

Isabelle’s birthday was yesterday.

She did some pretty cool stuff for her birthday.

I remember the Shriner’s parades as a kid with the guys on the little motorcycles and 15 guys in a VW Beetle and all of that.

This episode has nothing to do with the Middle East.

It has to do with us going shopping!

Oh and we went to a pretty great concert the other day.

We’re still learning about the car.

I don’t want to mow the lawn.

I will mow the lawn, I just don’t want to….

I think one of us said this during today’s episode, so that’s the title.

Why is this the picture? Because I typed ‘cover’ into google image search and it came up.

We had a good conversation about French music that I didn’t record…

This might not be the new theme.

The LCBO is on strike, so no LCBO trip (Jon wanted something) but I got him beer at the store.

Ninety percent of what we know about our new car we learned in the last week.

This 90% thing has been true each week.

Weird day, grey, rainy but not, cool but hot. Hey that’s almost a poem…

Isabelle is going to be an ally today. I don’t think I would be much help.

We still love the new car.

You get some lovely play by play about when we use the battery and when we use the ICE.

Hey it’s almost Canada Day!

We’re still not clear on how everything works in the new car though.

Back in Sault Ste Marie for our first podcast totally in the new car.

Sound better?

We went to an AMAZING restaurant.

The car is complicated.

It makes lots of beeps.

Maddie had her convocation.

Maddie has a PhD

We went and got a new car.

It’s pretty exciting.

We said goodbye to the old one.

Stephanie came with us on the way there which was great.

More on this story as it develops.
