Another Week Gone!

Before I know it I will be back in Halifax complaining about the cold!
As Kate mentioned, I am working on a "Toast to the Lassies" which I was asked to do for a Burns supper on the 25th. of Jan. I am trying to inject some humour (english spelling) into my toast without hurting feelings.
Yes,we were out dining on Wed.night with our four men friends at a new restaurant on the corner of our street, the owner of this restaurant hails from Alberta originally, and whose father was from Scotland, the owner,Mike,loves to practice his Scottish on me, he sits at our table and he and I go through our repertoire of Scottish songs and sayings and no we don't get a standing ovation, in fact it may lose him some customers.
Getting back to the evening with our gents, they arrived at our house at 6pm. where we started with a round of drinks and polished off a large dish of gaucamole made by Kate, we eventually made it over to the restaurant where we had a variety of dishes, plus copious amounts of red and white wines. It's a good thing we only had to walk home from the corner!
Two of the boys had to go home as they had tennis games in the morning, and the other two decided to come into the house and polish off more wine...we got to bed late!
The following day ,Thurs, we met with our N.S. friends,Gary and Kathy and walked up to the movie theatres and saw an excellent movie called "Love in the time of cholera" ,the cost to get into the theatre is only two dollars, we will be going more often!
We finished that day off by coming back to our house for a drink and snacks and going out for dinner to the Tango resaurant. We have to cut back on this "drinking"before it becomes a habit.
Tonight, Saturday we have been invited up to another couples house for a drink before going out for dinner, this couple is also from Halifax and have been living here permanently for ten years,
We have been to their house before and it is like something out of Hollywood, neither Kate or I have witnessed such opulence. They want to introduce us to another couple who moved here permanently from Bedford, and whom kate thinks she knows the lady from her air Canada days.
So that's another story to be continued !
