So far, a busy week. Monday is my shift at the CNIB where I narrate audio books. I am currently reading Smart Medicine for Your Eyes by Dr. Jeffrey Anshel. I am fortunate to work with an amazing group of volunteers who come from many backgrounds and who love reading. The discussions before our shift begins and during break are always interesting – reviews of the latest films and shows and discussions of current books, travel experiences, politics, and other topics of interest.
Yesterday, I visited the Maya Exhibit at the ROM with a friend.This was my second visit and I enjoyed it far more than the first.The first visit was constantly interrupted by a teacher “specially trained ROM facilitator” who was constantly bellowing her lecture to a group of Middle School students who were also touring the exhibit. Not only was she vocally loud, but her tone and questions aimed at the group were extremely condescending. It was all very distracting. This time the tour was peaceful and without interruption, and after a a visit to the gift shops, we ate lunch at Pho Hung, a very popular Vietnamese restaurant on Bloor Street. The food and the prices are excellent. When we left, there was a line-up half way down the stairs of people waiting for seats.
Today, I caught up on housework and paperwork, then went for a 6 km walk. The weather was amazing. I also managed to work on the Christmas stocking pillow.
Now to wait until the fibres I need to continue to stitch arrive from my LNS. Time to cast on a new knitting project and watch the People’s Choice Awards.
