We're in Toronto for longer than usual these days, starting our duties at the PanAm Games. The Beach is pleasant in general for showing the apartment For Rent. But the weather has turned heavy rain/chilly/windy this weekend and nobody's outside, not even us. The giant Pride Parade this afternoon won't need the standard waterguns --- everyone will be soaked just standing there! Otherwise, there are great memories from last year's World Pride on a sunnier day.
Earlier in the week we finally found a source for a second car key. The aftermarket key has to have the correct microchip, then it has to be laser cut to iPad-based specs. Then you get out the $$$$. Next time you buy a used car, insist on two keys.
A nostalgic road trip with Den from Australia took us to the Frog and Nightgown shop on a backroad with blooms and bays.The owner said the name was from a children's fable, but we remember it as a mysterious little cabin in the Durham days.
Nearby at Sauble Beach the annual ritual of protecting endangered shore birds is peaking again. I always pronounced it as "plover" to rhyme with "clover" but apparently it's correct to say "pluvver" to rhyme with "lover". Can you spot the other three rare beach chicks??
