Saw a distinct example of a first-world dog during the week

I joined Winnie's Eglinton-Yonge Toastmasters virtual International Night Thursday evening to hear her and two other participants give speeches in their own international tongue.

Winnie was the first speaker, presenting in her Kenyan dialect

The second speaker, AJ, presented in French. I was happy that I could actually pick up and understand some of the language, yay!

Ruth, the third speaker presented in Spanish. I especially enjoyed her painting! What a lovely artist! And with such speed! It reminded me of watching Bob Ross's tv painting shows
when I was younger!

Tdot step 1 patio reopening weekend!

Now that the city is opened to Stage 1,
enjoyed an outdoors dim sum meal with the rents yesterday at Chef88!

This evening we dined at East Side Marios just after missing a tiny raincloud!

Jumbo Shrimp Alfredo

An Ultimate Canadian Calzone &
a Mario's Spaghettini and Meatballs

A slice of an Ultimate Canadian Calzone

Afterwards, enjoyed a dessert of a phone catchup with bestie, S over the grey's season finale!

The only minor discomfort over our chat was the fact that I was dropped off at reception during our conversation so that I wouldn't lose reception in the underground parking lot. BECAUSE I was sitting outside, I
became the unfortunate real estate to the mozzies outside...sustaining two bites! :/ Luckily, they didn't hit the moneymaker (face ;))!
