A baker’s dozen were able to walk the Meadoway and have brunch (with a substitution for the latter). It could not have been better for a Fall walk. If people want more of these off-site walks, please say so in the comments. Anywhere in particular?
Next Thursday marks David’s birthday so let’s all wish him the best!
Again a lovely forecast for Saturday so let’s make it a good turnout! Hallowe’en costumes optional.
It looks like a good group will be walking the Meadoway this Saturday, followed by a hearty breakfast. Final details on attendance, meeting place and time have already been sent via email and WhatsApp. If you don’t (or do) see your name on the list erroneously, get in touch with me directly or reply to this post in the comments. The weather at the time of this writing is very favourable.
For those wishing to walk shorter or longer distances, I have put in turnaround points for that.
Happy birthday to Deanna who is celebrating today! Whee! (Late addition as this one wasn’t on the old digital calendar. Fixed!)
And..
Big and loud “Happy Birthday” to Stacey way out in PEC! Hopefully her new house is closed in as the cooler weather is here.
Helen is starting work on the annual calendar and is desperately asking everyone to send in photos for inclusion. Please also let her know if you are interested in one. If we can get this done asap, there may be a slim chance to have them at the November gathering.
The list of attendees is slowly growing. Please check the list of potluck contributions sent to you via email and WhatsApp on Wednesday. As the “shared” spreadsheet is not working for all, please respond either on WhatsApp or to the Google Group email to add or change anything. Thanks!
If you’re not joining the Meadoway group, Loblaw’s is still it for Saturday morning. Please do sign in either way so we know to expect you.
I have emailed out via Google Groups the names of those planning to walk on Saturday October 22. It starts at 8:30, and location info is included in that email. If you did not see it, let me know in the comments and I can reach out directly. Currently, brunch is expected to be at 10:15, and unless I hear otherwise, I will reserve tables to accommodate, if I can. TBC
A few people have used the shared file to indicate what they are hoping to bring to Trish’s for the Gathering. So that we have an idea of attendance, even if you are unsure what it is you hope to contribute, please enter your name in the first column, or failing a workable link, confirm you are coming in the comments here and I can add. Thanks!
Please also bring any thoughts about races or getaway destinations for interesting walks. There is an appetite (heh!) for that.
A few of us have enrolled in weekly Yoga classes at Stan Wadlow in the East End. Classes are Monday morning and, after only one class, it looks like it will do some good. There are still spaces and it goes to mid December. The code is 4081558.
Saturday morning is supposed to be cool (10ºC) and sunny, promising a great day for Fall colours. Last week, the walk took us to the lookout over the Don Valley, and perhaps that might be worth a repeat? Please sign in and let us know your intentions.
A food-intensive weekend is coming up, so what better way to mitigate that than a brisk Fall walk?
The gathering for November 12 at Trish’s place is getting organized. Please get in touch with her directly if you can help with the setup. As far as food is concerned, I set up a shared spreadsheet for everyone to add their contributions, and confirm their attendance. Please find the link in our WhatsApp feed.
The walk and breakfast are still on for October 22, starting exceptionally at 8:30. For privacy reasons, our starting point will be posted in WhatsApp a few days before. Please get in touch if you can’t access and we can text/email you directly with that information. Also, very importantly, please confirm your attendance so an adequate table (or two) can be reserved. Saturdays are busy at the restaurant.
Happy birthday to our own Energizer Bunny, Val, who is celebrating on Monday! Isten éltessen sokáig!
Sunny and seasonably cool is in the forecast for Saturday so come on out and shake to (turkey) tail feathers. There may be a Monday morning walk from Tim’s 2 at 9:00 am. We will give thanks for both!
