Do birds yawn?

That is my question of the day.  I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning.  Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday.  It was a fabulous shoe day.  After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day.  We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada.  The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday.  Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers.  Lovely for biking though.  So many pretty sights to see this morning as well.  Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pret...

  Glad I went out on Monday night to get lights for my bike.  It was a foggy start to my ride in on Tuesday.  Worth getting trapped in Canadian Tire during the fierce 10 minute storm on Monday night.   Ahhh, this is the life.  Oh, you thought I meant the boats out on the Canal.  No, I meant the bike ride to work - lol.   One of my favourite sights (not the locks) on the morning commute.  Didn't take long for the fog to go away. Isn't this fantastic?  Steph and Arun brought me back a chocolate bar.  Apparently it means stupid.  Now, along with my first favourite "bless her heart" I can now add that someone is stunned as me arse!  Bet I can use it many times in a day.  Thanks kids. The heat of the week has brought out so many shirtless men.   I have to say that 90% of the one’s along the canal are pretty buff.   Not quite Thor, but working on it.   The oth...

RED ALERT...RED ALERT....sorry, that just needed to be said. My physiotherapist said its now time to get new orthotics if I'm going to start running again.  I thought it would be prudent to check them out before going so I pulled the ones out of my good running shoes and found this: Well, I guess you can't really read them.  One of them says 2013 and the other says 2011.  I checked my other pair of running shoes and one of them said 2013 and the other 2011.  No wonder I've been a little off kilter.  Glad I checked them before going to get new ones and they saw my error.  I totally blame being in a cast for so long and having to put an orthotic in only one shoe so they got all mixed up. That is my tale of the day....but its early yet kids.
