Oopsey is ready to leave Canada, and a couple of other things....

Well Oopsey is ready to leave, so we did a draw and Janeen's name was drawn. So she is heading to the States.

I have enjoyed having her visit, and I think even dd secretly enjoyed seeing her!!!! Thanks to everyone who entered the draw. She should arrive at Janeen's by the end of next week

To see how and why Oopsey came to visit me, visit Caroline's blog.

Daily Savings Club, are you still keeping up with it? You should have $9 in your pot today.

Finally, I seem to be in a blogging slump at the moment, don't have anything interesting to say or share with you. Just need a kick up the you know what to get motivated. So feel free to give me that kick!!!

What Oopsey was up to on Thursday........

First let me say, when I told dd what I was up to, she rolled her eyes and said, people will think I have been let out of the mental institution for the day!! I wish, as at least if I was in there I would have a rest......

Anyhow, me and dd decided to go for a look around Bloor West Village in Toronto. Never been before, so thought it would make a nice change.

So we leave dd apartment and call into Tim Hortons on the way to the Subway. Oopsey was very interested in all this as there is no Tim Hortons in Australia. She thought it was a good idea that we got a tea each and a muffin, I told her I would share with her.



She wanted me to take a photo of her in the Subway station, but even though the flash went off on the camera, this was the best photo I could get, and dd sort of put her foot down at me taking a photo of me and Oopsey in the train. I don't know what her problem was, as there are so many weird and wonderful people on there, so one more weirdo taking photos with a Care Bear wouldn't have made much difference!!



So we get to Bloor West Village and it's like a small town main street, with lots of lovely shops, including a butcher, baker and candlestick maker.....okay not a candlestick maker, but a greengrocer. Dd wanted to call into a store called Trove, as she wanted to pick up an apron for her friend for her birthday.

Oopsey wanted to pose for a photo with the apron, cute saying on it, don't you think?



All along the street were benches and on the legs were the Bloor West Village logo, so of course Oopsey wanted her photo taken with it (made dd hold Oopsey, so that cheered her up no end!!)



By then it was lunch time, so dd and I decide Subway would be good, told Oopsey I would share with her, and that seemed fine.



We then had another look around and then headed home on the subway. Walking out off the subway Oopsey saw this big office tower and was fascinated with it, so I took a couple of photos of her in front of it.





Poor Oopsey, was pooped by the time she got home and had to have a nap.



So all in all it was a good day out and Oopsey seemed to enjoy herself.

Now I have to say I am pretty busy with this moving thing, so I think Oopsey would benefit from having a longer stay at someone elses house. So if you would like to have Oopsey visit your house, please let me know in your comment, and I'll do a draw to see where her next visit will be. For more info about how all this started visit Caroline's blog

Look who came to visit........

That is Oopsey who came to visit me from Caroline's in Australia, it's funny how she made herself at home sitting on my chair!!!

Now I have to say Oopsey was NOT impressed with how cold it was and to see the snow, after leaving such hot temperatures in Australia.


She was also not overly happy about us moving, until I told her not to worry about it, it wasn't going to happen while she was visiting!!!


So to make her feel better I told her I would take her with me on a trip to Downtown Toronto, that cheered her up no end!!!

So look for more of Oopsey's adventures on either Saturday or Sunday. Also I will let you know how you can have Oopsey come to visit and show her your part of the world then.

In between hands check out this post on Caroline's site to tell you more of how this all came about.
