A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood!

Busy busy week counting down to the end of the year...and this is our neighbourhood Eaton Centre!!!

Went to see the wonderful Tom Hanks movie, 'A Wonderful day in the neighborhood' on Tuesday with Louie. It actually worked out well as I had we'd originally planned to see it in the morning BUT due to some appointments that came up for me, we ended up catching an evening show before dinner at Wendy's.

Wednesday's big event was attending the Mon Sheong Inspired Toastmaster's (MSIT) Xmas Party!
It seems that due to the fact that it was a party evening and so close to the Christmas time, there was not enough members to attend so it became a joined celebration with another toastmasters group.

Here is Kollin as Table Topics Master. He had passed around a pocket with slips of paper with random numbers or not on it. The slips with numbers signaled the person would go up to speak.
As Raymond was lucky enough to get a number, he went up to speak on whatever he pulled out of the cute santa claus bag. It was a nice photo showing the two presidents (past and present) interacting!!!

Coming up to the end of the week, Jordan and I went to dinner at Le Montmartre French Restaurant. Starting off with appetizers! He had escargots and I had the French onion soup!

Our mains included my order of Les crevettes Natasha (shrimps in a rose creamy tomato sauce with fresh basil on a bed of pasta) and Jordon's Les petoncles sautéed a la Nicoise (scallops flambeed in pernod, served with mushrooms in a delicate curry sauce).

Dessert ended with coffee (mine had a shot of bailey's, yah!!!) and we split a mouth-watering tiramisu!!!

In regards to television shows, I've caught Gwen Stefani's You Make It Feel Like Christmas special where bf Blake Shelton also showed up with the other performers; Miss America 2020 where Camille Schrier, Virginia was crowned the winner! as well as Howie Mandel's 5th Annual All Star Comedy Gala to name a few...

A wonderful week in the neighbourhood...
