Thoughts of summer

To quote a line from Les Miserables, it was a case of 'Empty chairs at empty tables' at school today. Still no students, and I had to spend the day looking busy by re-filing last year's paperwork and tapping out important looking missives on my laptop. My thoughts drifted back to the summer, and particularly to the week in August when Melanie and I ran poor old Barry off his feet. Barry was visiting from the UK for ten days, and in that time we fitted in the following:

- A performance of Les Miserables in Gananoque

- Dinner at the 360 Restaurant atop the CN Tower

- A Blue Jays game

- A Hippo Tour around Toronto

- Becoming last minute audience members at Canadian Idol (don't ask!)

- A canoe trip on Charleston Lake

- A Great Big Sea concert in Buffalo

- Niagara Falls and all the necessaries, plus...

- A helicopter flight over the Falls, and...

- White water jetboating on the Niagara River!

Now, that's a chronological list, and I'll leave it up to you, dear reader, to rearrange it in a suitable order of preference. I think Barry had fun, but we certainly did!

Oh, by the way, still no cargo, but I now have a phone, although Bell might take two weeks to hook me up; it's a long way for their man and his ladder to come, you know...
