It’s Monday, which means most of us probably ask and get asked the “how was your weekend? question a lot.

Short answer: good.

Long answer:

I enjoyed a great weekend in and around Waterloo. It was sunny and warm, which meant I spent most of the weekend outside. I harvested a large colander full of cherry tomatoes from our veggie garden. We shared a meal with friends and saw Canadian musician Danny Michel perform at Bestival (the outdoor festival in Belmont Village). I enjoyed a long walk around Waterloo Park and watched the world go by as I sat on our beach (a small plot of sandy area overlooking the pond, which some people call a lake). I took my car through the car wash and then drove out to Stratford for lunch and shopping with a friend. I bought a ridiculous, amusing, and large octopus Jellycat that I will now consider an art feature / talking piece in our home.

And chores. There are always chores like laundry that get done on weekends. But noone likes to talk about that!
