The warm tempertures yesterday cleaned a lot of the ice from our local bike trails. This morning it was cloudy and cool, but not that cool...and Tuffy said, "so, are we going for a bike ride?" We pulled out the bikes from the shed, filled the tires, and off we went. There were some bits of trail here and there that were ice covered but we had a really nice ride. The wooden structure in the photo was sitting on the beach in Marie Curtis park.
Beautiful day. We abandoned work on the house for a while and cycled west through Marie Curtis Park and further toward Port Credit. There are a number of curious wooden structures in Marie Curtis. Anyone know what they are? I don't.
We were at a party last night for a couple who just got married in Las Vegas. We know the bride as a former neighbour. It was a lot of fun, and even involved some of button accordion playing. I particularly enjoyed some conversations about music with a fellow who plays both piano accordion and guitar and is self-taught on both.
We were up bright and early this morning though, for a bike ride. While we still have some nice weather, we want to take advantage of the bike trails around our house. There are trails (parts on small residential streets) which go to Mimico, then after a mile or so break, continue on to the downtown lakefront trails. In the other direction, there are about 25 km of trails west to Oakville. I don't know if there are trails along the lake beyond that.
Meanwhile, we still have a ton of work to do on the house. With both of us back to work, it seems like it is taking a really long time to get all the work done. There is electrical work going on, and when that is done, we need to build in some book shelves (those who helped us move will say we have too many books). We want to have both painting studios functioning in the next couple weeks. Mine is close, but we have some work to do in Tuffy P's, building some painting racks and painting the floor and putting in some workable lighting. We have a new window going in there next week. There's a window there now, but it doesn't open and we need to have some ventilation.
