Originally from Dublin, Ireland. Moved to London and then Leeds, England, I now live in Toronto, Canada. Oh and now back again. Anyway, you can take the woman out of Ireland but, you know the rest. Basically the stuff on here will be the same no matter where I am. Ramblings and rantings about stuff, some from Canada.Some of them really do say 'eh' ~~~~~ "ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed"

July 1st

CANADIAN

Today is Canada day and Canada is 139.
There was lots of stuff going on (apart from the first day of the tour, Well done George Hincapie, and the World Cup) and we decided to hire a car for the weekend.
Leaving it till after 2pm on a Saturday means there is not too much choice left in the cars available and we ended up with some GI-normous thing which has a bit of a pimp-mobile look to it.




Lot's of chores to do tomorrow so today was a trip north of Toronto, some sightseeing and wild-life spotting (I saw Canada's national animal)





Then I saw this sign and the day was complete.

technically, the Native Americans had the run of the place from about 20-30,000 years ago.
