There are a few new shows premiering this week so we’ve been taping them and watching them when we have time. At this moment I’m watching the new TV show “Fringe” that premiered on Tuesday night.
I’m not very far into this new sci-fi series, but from what I’ve seen I think I’ll like it. That says something, because I don’t normally like Sci-Fi series .. Well ok, I liked Star Trek the Next Generation, but nothing really since then.
Did you see the show? What did you think of Fringe?
On Saturday Chris and I had a leisurely day. No plans, just enjoying a nice warm summer day.
Late in the afternoon Chris decided that we should go to a place called “Sunnybrook Farm”. It’s part of a park and there’s a horse stable there and I guess members can ride the horses. We just went there to observe. We wanted to take our puppy to see the horses. We thought she’d enjoy seeing a different kind of animal and I think we were right.
here’s one of the horse that was wandering around in the open coral.
I just love horses and I must admit that I haven’t seen one in person in a very long time. We stood watching the horses for quite a while, then we went for a hike in the adjoining park, through the forest and even into a creek with our dog.
That’s Chris and Midnight stumbling over rocks in the water. At least they got to cool off! It was a very hot day.
Several times a week I try to go around and visit a number of blogs.
I do this either by visiting bloggers sites who have left a comment for me on one of my own sites or I log into Entrecard and visit sites that way.
As I’ve traveled around visiting blogs I’ve noticed that there are a number of sites dedicated to cats or ones that have the occasional picture of a cat on it so I figure there are a lot of cat lovers out there.
I thought of all the people who love cats or who are animal lovers when I found this funny cat blooper video and I thought I’d share it with you.

What was your favorite part? I think mine was the cat and the bear!
Saturday was such a beautiful day here in Toronto that I brought my laptop outside in the late afternoon so that I could enjoy the day, the garden and get some work done while I was at it. Needless to say I didn’t get much work done!
We’d been expecting a friend to come over for the weekend. He was going to arrive on Friday night and spend the whole weekend, but his parents got word that they could move into their retirement home so he pushed back his visit by a day so he could help them move. Unfortunately the moving went into overtime and he wasn’t able to make it to our house for the visit.
Since Chris is on holidays this week he really wanted to do something on Saturday so he ended up inviting his cousin and our 15 year old God son over for dinner.
That of course is why I didn’t get any work done! My god son loves movies and he talked my ear off for oh … 6 hours about all his favorite movies, actors, scenes from movies and even brought over part of his movie collection so that he could show us movie trailers!
It was all a little too much movie talk for me, but I did come up with an idea for him. I suggested that he start a blog and write movie reviews. He basically memories all the lines and scenes in movies (oh did I mention he’s legally blind?) so he’d be a great reviewer … or at least I think so after hearing how he describes movies all these years.
In the rare non-movie discussion that I got to participate in I learned of a new health drink by Orovo that I might try. It might help with my Crohns, certainly it probably won’t hurt to try it.
We ended up having dinner outdoors. Chris, his cousin and I had steak and our God son had hamburgers. We all had fresh corn on the cob as well (not great for my Crohn’s but I love it). It was a great dinner.
Oh … I also had a couple of beers that night. I don’t drink much in part because of all the medications I’m on and also because it just hits me too hard. So by the time our guests left around Midnight I was feeling tipsy and tired! Guess I’m a cheap date!
Hows the weather in your area? We have a cool and rainy summer, but the end of last week and most of the weekend was fairly nice (we’re back to too cool again) so that’s why I had to take advantage of Saturday being such a nice day. Who knows when it might be nice enough to sit outside into the night entertaining guests.
