thoughts from the igloo

Today we’re going around Toronto. We get a metro day pass and head to Casa Loma  – the former house of an English Sir something…forgot the name!
 
Then to the CN tower…it the highest observation tower in the world – with an amazing view of Toronto! There’s also a part of it with a glass floor [...]

Its our Niagara Falls Tour Day. At first we head towards a winery for a supposedly ‘winery tour’ which turns out to be a simple invitation to buy wine. We learn that  Niagara is popular place for producing ice wine – grapes are grown in winter in temperatures of -5 to -20.
We continue our journey to [...]

We’re off to Toronto this weekend so I leave work early at 5pm to catch the 9pm flight. There’s a delay at the airport and then we’re told they need 20 people to volunteer to take the next morning flight because the flight was overbooked…..no it does not only happen in Malta!!

Its time for grocery shopping again….maybe this is the last big one?

After another lazy morning we go out for mass and our usual Sunday movie. We watched ‘He’s just not that into you’ – light and fun to end the weekend. 
 
Back home we finally bought our tickets to Toronto – we’re visiting the city and Niagara Falls next weekend!
 

I woke up at noon after my night out and we spent the day lazying around at the apartment – except for the fact that I have started a daily exercise routine – 40 sit-ups and 20 laps of jogging around the living room.
 
Then its time for Celine Dion Valentine’s Day concert – we [...]

Today I’m off from work as a little thank you from the firm for the hard work during the last weeks and I’m very grateful for it as such thing is unthinkable in Malta! I finish off the moving out and moving in process and I’m out for the day – a bank errand, mass [...]
