Perhaps a few scones will take your mind off things.<br />I like to think I haven't reached my physical peak. I sit there on the couch and think, hey, sometime soon, I will be the world's best ever athlete! <br />I always take trips by myself. I get to do my own thing and it's my own schedule :) Ah, Montreal. I remember being in Montreal and they were speaking some kind of weird French!<br />Did you mention summer? Oh yes, I remember those three straight days when I realised the mysterious glowing orb is called the sun. <br />You stay well. I'm off to check my eyelids for cracks! :)<br />Gary<br />x <br />klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.com
