Summer is here

At least these past two days we have had gorgeous weather and I’ve been able to go to the Madison for lunch. I’ve sat in the patio and it’s been great. Unfortunately I got burned really quick yesterday, so today I brought sunscreen, it didn’t help much and I’m again all red. Why do I have to have such sensitive skin?

Anyway, today after work I’m going to be at the Duke of Gloucester, everyone is invited for the “in search for the best chicken wings in Toronto” session. I’ll probably be in the patio again since it appears it’s going to be a nice evening.

And Miss Universe is…

CANADA!

I am so excited for Natalie and for all the people who work at Miss Universe Canada (and their bandwith has been exceded so I hope people can reach the website tomorrow).

Congratulations everyone, I know how hard all of you have worked and I hope this is the beginning of more great things to happen.

The quest for the best chicken wings in town

So, in my quest for the best chicken wings in Toronto, I’ll be tomorrow (Tuesday) at The Duke of Gloucester with Connie, Clara and Jamie. Anyone who wants to join us is absolutely welcome. We’ll be there at 6:00 and may the best wings win (some people are also going to eat the fried Mars bars and anyone can eat whatever they want, it’s just me who’s rating the wings).

On Tuesday I casted on for the front-cross tank in Vogue Knitting, page 60. I made good progress but by Friday I realized it was too small and I was never going to fit in it. So I ripped the whole thing on and started the bigger size. I am using 6 balls of Lion Brand’s Incredible in Copper Penny (it is an amazing ribbon, it doesn’t look at all in the ball as it looks knitted it lives up to its name, it is incredible), 7 mm and 12 mm needles.

Well, ABC showed the last episode of the season for Desperate Housewives last night. I had missed it last Sunday because I was on an airplane flying back from California. So last night, me being the super-social-always-have-plans-for-Saturday-night person that I am (sarcastic tone), I was of course at home and I watched it. The only thing I didn’t understand was why Rex had to die? Who killed him? Is that one of the mysteries for next season? I don’t know.

A farewell to Christie

Christie is moving to Brooklyn tomorrow, and she had a party last night at The Bishop and The Belcher. I was glad to see that she is so happy with her decision and excited with what may happen when she moves there.

I ran into Armchair, Blamb, Lamberry mer, Photojunkie, Eva and Accordion Guy and we all had a great time. I also met Kat and I had so much fun remembering that “who is going to marry Brett Lamb” contest we had a few months ago. We had so much about it and just had a great time. She happens to be the most senior blogger in the GTA, she’s been blogging for 7 years, even before the term “blog” was coined, isn’t that amazing?

We’ll miss you Christie, this picture is my farewell present to you, enjoy!

Here’s another picture of me with my beautiful family (notice how I am sitting there with a balloon right next to me, DON’T BE FOOLED, I was making an effort to smile, I HATE BALLOONS!)

My knitting is taking a break while I take a dip in the pool. It’s a triangle scarf made with Malizia yarn. I used two 50g balls of Malizia in colour 03 Winter and 12 mm needles. It was really fast to knit using Laura’s kerchief pattern.

Me and my sister in Del Mar.

Here’s me at La Jolla Shores. I didn’t go down to the beach but stayed upstairs at the park. I’m not much of a sand-lover.
