Dragging our feet with the blogging now that we've settled in and made lives for ourselves here in Toronot! Shane's bagged himself a fulltime job until end of summer with the Canadian Olympic Committee, Paul's running every McD's in sight, and I'm still loving my work at CMA.
Weekend before last was Pride in the city (photos up very shortly, thanks gallagpa). They speak for themselves really.. The whole city was proud (crazy), the Gay Village was cordoned off, filled with various stands, stages and stalls, and the clubs (in broad daylight) spilled out onto the streets.
Myself and Shane took a wander into the district on the Saturday to see what was happening. Caught a bit of Mel C in concert and lots of weird and wonderful sights before meeting Paul from work and heading for some yummy food in Elephant and Castle. Sunday brought the parade, which brought the entire city out on to the streets, children and waterguns in tow.
Tuesday July 1st was Canada Day - no parades or street parties this time, but another day off for myself and Shane. A group of us headed down to the lake in search of the much-rumoured fireworks display once darkness fell. The night was finished off with chips and pop (crisps and fizzy drinks) in our friends' apartment, overlooking the city.
Friday night's club was hilarious - Hawaii beach party-esque, while Saturday night brought what we'd been waiting for: Guvernment - seven rooms, three/ four levels, manies the DJ, lazers, moving ceilings, rooftop patio, woop!
We've done lots of exploring in the past fortnight, especially down around the lake shore and the distillery district, right beside where we live. We now understand and share the Canadian obsession with patios, following Sunday evening - live music, BBQ, wine and sun.. Mmm..
Plan for tonight was outdoor Juno screening at the Harbour Front, but thunder and lightning outside says otherwise. Just about to settle in to watch Heros with the guys in our living room - laters! Xxx
