Eaton Centre

 When we went to the show last week, we took the Subway downtown, and got off at Dundas Street/Eaton Centre.  The one thing the Eaton Centre does is have this huge lit Christmas Tree.  My photo's suck of the tree, I just couldn't get a decent photo of it.  It was lovely in person though.

There were also these huge reindeer dotted around the mall, they must have been 10 to 12 feet high.

To my mind this tree was nicer.  It was outside of the Vaughan Subway station.

When you go to a mall you see all sorts of people from all walks of life.  We were looking at a car parked inside of the mall that the company was promoting, when a woman/man came up to us and started talking to us about the car.  Now they were very nice and we talked to them for quite a while, but when he/she walked away both hubby and I looked at each other and said, "I'm confused, was that a man or woman."  

Then we passed a woman who was in her late 60's/early 70's I would guess.  She was wearing a pair of floral painted Doc. Marten boots, with a gold foil pleated skirt, with a long sweater on top.  I turned and said to hubby, "Who decides to get up in the morning and pick out a very uncoordinated outfit like that and go shopping?"  Floral doc marten boots say daytime to me, whereas gold foil pleated skirt says night time/party time to me?

Now I am guessing it was the height of fashion and a very expensive outfit, but "mutton dressed as lamb," came to mind.............it take all sorts.........people watching is so much fun.  It also gave us plenty to talk about!!

Rather embarrassing but funny all the same

I was in Collingwood on Tuesday with dh and we were walking down the main street.  There is a Tim Horton's coffee shop there and the blinds were pulled down quite a bit as the sun must have been shining on the patrons.

At the bottom of one blind we could see a guy sitting there and we saw this:

he wasn't a plumber though!!!  Both me and dh were laughing at this, and I decided the people who read my blog would just love a photo of this!!!!  Unbeknown to me though, the people sitting on the opposite side of this guys table could see us and figured out what we were laughing about, as the next thing I know the guy is standing up and adjusting himself.

Me, well I walked on sharpish just in case he wanted a word!!!!

Then on Wednesday, when we were driving out of a Tim Hortons parking lot.......yes, I should have shares in Tim Hortons at the moment!!!  I saw this person wearing a very short denim skirt with their back to me.  I immediately noticed their legs and how odd and muscular they were.

So I said to dh, "those are weird legs."

At that point this person turned around, and before I knew what I was saying, I said

"and they have a weird face to match!!"

Dh told me off for being cruel while he was laughing, but even he had to admit, they wouldn't have needed much make up for Halloween. 

Now if you have noticed I have not said he or she, have I?  I initially thought this person was a female, as yes the person was wearing a short denim skirt, but in all honesty, when I saw the face I had my doubts.........

Now Jane will not be at all shocked by either of these stories as I seem to attract or find the strangest of people.  However honestly these are true stories............wonder who I will meet on Thursday when we go to the market at St. Jacobs??
