This is my first big test run of blogpress for the iPhone. It’s not working exactly as I’d like it to, but it will have to do.
I’m sitting on the edge of Dundas Square in Toronto. I have a big cup of tea in hand watching the people go by.
I ventured into the Eaton Centre to find my tea. I poked my head into a few shops but almost immediately turned on my heel and left. Shopping just isn’t fun for me anymore. I felt overwhelmed and also rather provincial. I was rather looking forward to H & M but I discovered I just couldn’t deal with the crowds and the piles of stuff.
I am much happier, resting here and taking in the city from a distance. And I’m okay with that.
Next: back to the Pantages to change for dinner and to chill by my mini in-room fountain. Ahhhh.

Blogging via the phone … will this work?

I’m sitting here finishing my coffee while B.B. the budgie is splashing away in his birdie-sized bath tub. His feathers are so wet he can’t fly. He’s quite a hoot. Watching his personality evolve has been really interesting. (Did you know birds have personalities?)
BB likes:
- baths
- millet
- leaf lettuce
- Rita Celli
- his toys, especially little bells
- the mirror in the bathroom
- saying his name
- the “I’ll drop the ball and you get it” game
- sitting on the window (which he isn’t allowed to do)
- chewing on his wooden ladder
- nibbling on paper
- pretending he’s a girl (long story)
- sampling the contents of my cereal bowl
BB doesn’t like:
- Mark’s neck
- being told to go back into the cage when he isn’t ready to go

I got some gardening done yesterday. Wasn’t it gorgeous? I filled a few containers with the herbs Mark and the girls bought me for Mother’s Day, as well as some begonias and johnny jump-ups (i love their sweet little flower faces.) After many years of home ownership I have come to realize that I am strictly a container gal. Flowerbeds and vegetable beds are too much for me. I am secretly dreaming of converting our yard into a forest.

Once my coffee is done I’m off to pack. I’m among a handful of Canadian bloggers who were invited to attend a sponsored junket about local food which is taking place in Toronto over the weekend. Learning about how to eat closer to home is a topic which really interests me, but at this point I’m not sure how much I’ll be blogging or twittering about the conference. You interested in hearing about it while I’m there? Let me know!
(Have a great weekend everyone!)
