The one where we sat in a pub all day

Smallest was much better today and went off to school with Small who was tired. Huffle went to work. It was a cloudy nothingness sort of weathery day until early evening when it started to rain slightly and got a bit humid!

Moo and I had an easy morning till 11am (we even watched a bit of 'Amber' whilst eating our breakfast), then we drove to Al's house and she drove us to King City (the home of horses and wealthy people apparently). Today we went to say goodbye to MarthaDammit, one of my knitting friends who is moving to BC next month. There were seven of us and we had a nice meal and lots of chat. It wasn't a great place for Vegetarians but then where is? I had Grilled Salmon and Moo had a Pear and Arugula Salad with Parmesan shavings. More arugula (rocket) than pear though! El gave us each a Mason Jar filled with flowers from her daughters wedding and TK gave me a sleeping mat and a pillow for Small for camping.

On the way home we drove past a huge mansion reputed to have been built for Elton John (his husband is from Ontario).

Back home we played scrabble on the porch and waited for the boys to come home. Smallest's words as he got off the bus were "Malcolm's an idiot!". (Apparently Malcolm, his best friend-no more, sprayed him with a water hose and he got wet through. He then pushed Malcolm and hurt him. Oh dear). Small got off the bus and said "Can my friend come and play?". What happened to "hello Mummy, hello Moo, have you had a nice day?". Smallest sat with us and played on the IPad and Small played at his friends house.
