a peek inside the fishbowl

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I am writing this post from my hotel room in the lovely Pantages hotel while sprawled out on the amazing king-sized bed. Note to self: buy new mattress and four fluffy new pillows. The pillows are probably the best part of the room. :)

 


It’s been an extremely long day. It began rather early with a morning stroll along Yonge St., followed by a quick breakfast after which our group of bloggers dove right into our sessions. I should explain more about what we’re doing here exactly but I’ll have to save that when I’m not blogging on my phone. I will say that this event revolves around local eating and local food… a topic close to my heart for sure.

 

I have met some really cool people… and wait until I tell you about last night’s dinner. You foodies out there will be impressed!

Now I have to get off my duff and get ready for dinner #2. L8TR!

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!
