Other times, when I have to draft something for an annual event, it's tedious trying to think of something new to say. Overall, it's a good gig - I can work in my jammies if I feel like it and at hours of my own choosing. Wisewebwoman, I can't believe that you're having such balmy weather on The Rock! It's miserable and Novemberish here, neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring, as the Mammy used to say. I didn't catch the Massey Lecture on CBC, because I rarely listen to the radio these days. But I did go to see her talk about it, in a conversation with Ian Brown, at Mohawk College in Hamilton a couple of weeks ago and she was excellent. I started reading her books in Ireland, long before I even thought of living in Canada, and have always loved her writing.

I also had spinach salad today - at Swiss Chalet in St. John's. Here we have mild mild mild, saw a seal basking on a rock today, by the time I got the camera he gave me one disgusted look and slipped into the water. I just ordered Margaret Attwood's book that I saw on your sidebar. Did you hear the CBC series of her lectures? Just brill.. XO WWW Good for you and the healthy body!!

I keep hoping I'll become one of those freaks who actually like working out, but no luck so far. I'll keep plugging at it - not in any vain hope of becoming lithe and lovely (HA! as if ...), just for good health. The spinach salad was to die for. Some time I should blog about my own recipe, which always leaves people begging for more. Thanks for the spirit fingers - if they could just poke me somewhere around my nether regions, I might finally get off my not-so-fat-anymore arse and do this thing. Love your blog - like you, I live in fear that the tower of books by the bed will tip over and crush me one night. I'm really working on it, but the pile keeps growing. Thanks, Kool-Aid Mom.

I visited Spain two years ago, spent a few days with my sister in Tremp and then managed a couple of days in Barcelona before we flew back to Canada. Loved it, want so much to go back and spend more time there. Love your blog ... have a great weekend. Thank you, Mar, and thanks for stopping by.
