Hello Hello...Well here I am again.  I have learned from experienced bloggers that there is a place on the site that you click which says followers.  I am passing this on to all my old friends who are dumb bloggers so they will then be informed via email when I have posted (cool word!!) another blog.  I want no excuses for not reading my prose as when I return there will be a quiz to guage my true friends.

Tess at Science museum showing what Narnie looked like when her leg bone broke away from her hip bone

                                          Tess & I being swallowed by something called ART

The past week has been filled with excursions here, there and everywhere and we enjoyed having Trina with us for the week-end outings.  Tess and I paid a visit to the Toronto Museum last week which has a floor full of exhibits of interest to the kidlets (and adults).  Dinosaurs a favourite of course...children are completely fascinated with dinos and Tess is no different.   During our days we try to find a pretty spot to have our picnic and near the Museum is Queens Park...perfect for us and enough squirrels running around to keep the child excited.   Next day was the Science Museum (yes we are very cultured for a couple of Aussies).  Now this is a truly amazing place and great for kids.  We made paper and brought home a handprint.  We learned about electricity and how it can make your hair stand on end.  Tess didn't want to participate but was very keen for Nonnie to do it.  What a shame it was only for children!!!..I was so looking forward to making a fool of myself.   Trying to get her to leave was in itself a scientific process.  So many things to try.  When I explained that my legs were turning to jelly she took sympathy on me and after some time I found the way out.  Actually I am improving quite a lot in this area and the other day an elderly lady actually asked me for directions on the Subway and I actually answered her.  I do hope the dear old soul is not still floating around down there somewhere.
The three of us headed down to the Harbour on Saturday for the Big Circus Festival, continuous entertainment for three days.  (Monday was Canada Day Holiday).   Sunday was Art Gallery day, a treat for the Mother. For the Grandmother the most awesome exhibits were the model ships...130  collected and donated to the Gallery by one man ....good bloke called Thomson.  The detail was mind boggling and I could have stayed there for hours.  I also bought a kinky watch which looks like a huge black and white postage stamp on my wrist...have to live dangerously sometimes.
Monday we tackled the old red double-decker bus.  I cringed a bit at a large group of senior citizens getting on and laughing too loud and talking too much until I realised I was actually one of those grey nomads.  It was an interesting tour.   We have left the boat ride on the Harbour for another day as the water was very choppy.  Tess also wants to go up to the top of the Crown Tower and stand on the glass-floored platform.  Trina said she was too scared but daughter replied "Mum you tell me I have to face my fears so now you have to".  We will see what happens!!!
Tess and I travelled to Trina's school on Tuesday to join her for lunch and check out the joint.  She is very happy with the course and is learning so much.   We also enjoy the cake which sometimes makes it way home (the staff here are also enjoying their share).   I shall leave our trip to the Zoo for the next post as I appreciate what busy lives you all have.
Life is good....get up, make the bed, do the brekkie dishes, quick tidy and that's my housework for the day.  I have decided a cleaning lady is an absolute necessity for a happy life.  Talk to you soon....keep happy xxxGlor
