OK, like when will summer end? It’s going up to like 28 today. Jon came along, and got the movie you see in the past. Isabelle has a big day, she is presenting an installation today and next week for Ontario Culture Days. It’s a long process, going from the early conceptual days to today. Isabelle takes you through it. I will come down tonight on my bike to help her out. Oh also, I picked up a few season s of the Twilight Zone.

Hey, Jon came today! (He didn’t talk much, but he was there). I’m used to my schedule sort of. I got my favourite cashier. Grey and 18 today. Oh we went to the library too. There are murals all over town, here’s one with this post!

Nice day today, though I think it is going to get hot. I finished my first full week. Getting used to the timetable is the hardest thing. Oh and lecturing for 4.5 hours on Wednesday does not help. We talked to Maddie! They don’t speak Wasabi in Germany. Isabelle is hoping for some news soon.

Oooh it’s cool today. Needed gas, sometimes even a hybrid needs gas. Hey, I’ve buried the lede, we got a new washer and dryer! We’ve gone through a lot of them. Jon is very helpful. Isabelle is planning her big exhibit coming up.

Nice day today. It is week 2 of our national nightmare, where we don’t have a washing machine. An RV pulling a car was stuck on the road, as you can see in the picture. Oh my god, it’s the last weekend of the summer! OK, not technically, but you know what I mean. Washing clothes by hand has given me Popeye arms.

Lot’s of technical difficulties in the past two weeks, but we’re back. Where are we back from? We are back from Kingston where we visited Ken and Jackie! It was great. We saw some cool old rare books. We went on a tour of the old Kingston Pen. Generally we hung out with our friends and it was glorious. Thanks Ken and Jackie!

James Earl Jones had nothing to do with this one. We lamented the news, and the lack of it. We used to read the paper every morning, and while it is now replaced with websites, it’s not the same. Rainy day. About 14C out, no biking weather. Canada won the 4x100m men’s relay, so that’s great.

Very warm today, there won’t be a bike ride. Indeed, I even mowed the lawn early today. I say ‘fair to middling’ a lot. We went to Timmins! Timmins is interesting enough. People were very friendly. Our hybrid car continues to amaze.

Very warm today, so no bike ride I don’t think. I will mow the lawn though, yay… Isabelle is doing some art today with our friend Ray. She makes ink out of stuff and things. LCBO today.

Today was a parade Isabelle wanted to see, so, she saw it. I shopped. When I was done she FaceTimed with me (as you can see here). I’ve pretty much figured out how to keep the. grocery bill pretty steady, but it involves knowing how to cook. Isabelle’s birthday was yesterday. She did some pretty cool stuff for her birthday. I remember the Shriner’s parades as a kid with the guys on the little motorcycles and 15 guys in a VW Beetle and all of that.

This episode has nothing to do with the Middle East. It has to do with us going shopping! Oh and we went to a pretty great concert the other day. We’re still learning about the car. I don’t want to mow the lawn. I will mow the lawn, I just don’t want to….

I think one of us said this during today’s episode, so that’s the title. Why is this the picture? Because I typed ‘cover’ into google image search and it came up. We had a good conversation about French music that I didn’t record… This might not be the new theme. The LCBO is on strike, so no LCBO trip (Jon wanted something) but I got him beer at the store. Ninety percent of what we know about our new car we learned in the last week. This 90% thing has been true each week.

Weird day, grey, rainy but not, cool but hot. Hey that’s almost a poem… Isabelle is going to be an ally today. I don’t think I would be much help. We still love the new car. You get some lovely play by play about when we use the battery and when we use the ICE. Hey it’s almost Canada Day! We’re still not clear on how everything works in the new car though.

Back in Sault Ste Marie for our first podcast totally in the new car. Sound better? We went to an AMAZING restaurant. The car is complicated. It makes lots of beeps. Maddie had her convocation. Maddie has a PhD

We went and got a new car. It’s pretty exciting. We said goodbye to the old one. Stephanie came with us on the way there which was great. More on this story as it develops.

Very nice day today, it was 19when we left the house. I hope it isn’t super windy, it has been really windy lately. Isabelle has another art trip coming up. We get our new car soon! Sneezes are as unique as fingerprints. (I may have made that last bit up).

We didn’t have one last week because Isabelle was in Quebec. She was picking up the (in pieces) dresser you see in the post. I ordered groceries last week, first time for me. Isabelle, as always, has a bunch of art stuff on the go. Rainy today. Getting a new car soon!

How do you like the new theme? Nice day today. Jon has been watching a vegan cooking show. Isabelle is off to a powwow. I’m getting used to non structured days. Probably get my bike out again this afternoon

Damn the weather has been odd. It seems though that spring might finally be here. That said, I have to mow the lawn…. Isabelle has a busy day ahead as well. I got a new computer! We’re getting a new car! The YMCA thing might end up working out.

THE TERM IS OVER. The weather isn’t very nice. I have my bike off the trainer. Isabelle is doing her normal Isabelle things, running around, applying for grants etc. Grocery store was somewhat empty today.
