Wordless Wednesday
I love seeing signs that people or businesses have put up that seem to have hidden or un-intended meaning! Here, take a look so you can see what I mean:
or this one –
I’d bet you’d get attention if you dropped your pants in a place of business!
Have a great Wednesday … the weekend is almost here.
I can’t believe the storms we’ve had in Toronto this weekend. Late Friday evening we had a huge thunder and lightening storm that caused the power to go out briefly a few times.
The storm and power failure actually knocked out our TV for a while. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you already know how much trouble we’ve had with our DLP TV lately such as having to replace the color wheel and the special light bulb. Those were expensive! So when the power flashed on and off and our TV’s front panel lights were all flashing and the TV wouldn’t turn back on we thought the storm had wrecked our TV. Luckily after leaving it off for about 30 minutes it worked when we turned the power back on. Big sigh of relief. We certainly can’t afford any more repairs for that TV.
Now today we’re having thunder storms again. This time the TV is not on and we’ve got it unplugged too. We do have a power surge protector, but we aren’t taking any chances. That TV is just too expensive to repair to take chances.
The only other problem with all this rain is that I can’t get out into the garden. I’ve got flats of annuals to plant but you can’t plant in the rain and it’s not good to plant in wet soil as that ruins the composition of the soil.
Hopefully the weather will clear up soon and I can get in the garden in a few hours.
Sometimes i find it hard to believe that neither Chris or I have ipods. Unbelievable isn’t it? I bet that the majority of you reading this have at least one iPod or some other type of portable MP3 player in your home.
I keep thinking we should get one. I mean, now that we have the dog it would be nice to have an iPod to listen to as we take our dog on long walks. It might also come in handy on long car rides as Chris and I sometimes have very different tastes in music. At least if we had an iPod we’d each be able to listen to whatever we wanted between the car stereo and the iPod.
I guess I’ll keep an eye out for sales. Any tips as to which iPod is the best one to get? We’d really only use it for music – I think.
Are you going to Woofstock?
Woofstock is the largest festival for dogs in North America and it’s this weekend!
It’s been held here in Toronto on Saturday June 7th and Sunday June 8th between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. each day. The festival is taking place at the St. Lawrence Market Neighborhood.
I have to admit that I’d never heard of Woofstock until a month or so ago. Of course I never owned a dog until last November so perhaps that’s how such a big festival in the city I live in escaped me.
The festival has been going on since 2003 and last year it was so big that CNN beamed the event around the world for the whole weekend.
Chris and I are definitely going to go downtown and check out Woofstock tomorrow and perhaps on Sunday as well. Midnight loves meeting other dogs and she loves people too so this will blow her mind.
There are all kinds of events and contests planned for each day. Perhaps we’ll enter Midnight in one of the contests. She’s cute and she’s smart it might be worth a try.
Check out the Woofstock website for a complete list of events, sponsors, booths and learn how to enter your dog in one of the contests if you’re interested.
