Oh lor

By andrea tomkins in Misc. life

It’s so nice to be back. I was practically dancing in the Toronto airport.

I’m home!

First, I need to have a proper cup of coffee.

Then, I need to cuddle with my kids.

Next, I need to dump the entire contents of my bag in the washing machine.

And THEN I will come back and tell you all about it. Deal? ;)

p.s. thank you Mark, for taking care of things around here! Mwah!

Thus ends my short foray into blogging. Andrea will be back on Monday yesterday with posts galore full of her usual charm and wit. Thanks for stopping by and putting up with option B for the week. Hopefully I’ve kept the fishbowl in good condition.

(edited to add: Criminy ! I hadn’t even noticed that Andrea had posted yesterday before I made todays post. She just can’t help herself. )

We’re having a wonderful time in Montego Bay. It’s been hot and sunny and totally amazing. It has been pure bliss. I couldn’t have asked for anything better (okay, maybe one thing… the shower in our room is built for SHORT PEOPLE.) Remind me to tell you about the bat attack. And the cat calling. And the Jamaican pattys. Woo boy.

So this photo… this was my view for a few hours today. Tonight, we’re off to the jazz festival.

I am having a great time but can’t wait to get home either… *sigh*

xoxo,

andrea

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
