Dessert at Bernadette's
Bernadette and Sam invited me to drop by for dessert last night. I found a parking spot in their lot and arrived almost on time. It is always a treat to eat with these two, Sam goes all out to make great tasty dishes. Pears Poached in Sauterne with chocolate and raspberry sauces garnished with mango slices, did not disappoint. He served it with flair too! Kudos Sam!!
Part of the treat when eating at Bernadette's is her sunroom with a view, a closed in balcony overlooking the city. You can see almost all the way to Lake Ontario, downtown, CN Tower, parks and woodlands across the city. It is just wonderful to sit at their bistro table and enjoy the view, while sipping good coffee and enjoying a fantastic 5-star dessert!

Is there a Twitter bot out there?
Just wondering because every time I tweet, I get 5 or 6 followers. I don't even know these people. There must be a bot out there crawling Twitter tweets and automatically adding people. It just isn't possible that so many total strangers want to follow me, get to my twitter page and click a button, just a few seconds after each tweet. What's in it for them? I don't reciprocate by following them so don't even get their tweets. What's the point? For that matter, what is the point of Twitter?

Animated Frog
The dialogue goes as follows: "So there I was at the pub, right, and this bloke walks up to me and he's like 'Hey, what's a frog doing in the pub?' And I say, well, I'm having a drink. And he says 'Well, alright then. Let me buy you another.' So he does, and we walk away best of friends."
... But anyways, there I was at the pub, right, this bloke walks in with his pet giraffe. Who in the world would have a pet giraffe, I don't know, but this guy had one. Anyways, he walks up to the bar and buys himself a drink, buys the giraffe a drink. Guy drinks his drink, and the giraffe drinks it's drink, and then the giraffe falls over dead. Well, the guy gets up to walk out, and the bartender's like " 'EY! You can't leave that lyin' there!" And the guy turns around, he says "It's not a lion. It's a giraffe."
"So there I was at the pub, right, and this bloke walks up and says "Hey, you're sittin' in me favorite chair." And I says, "Well, I been sittin' here all day, how can it be your favorite chair?" He says "I sit here all the other times," and I says "Well, I been here all day, an' I got dibs." And he says "you can't have dibs on a chair," and I says, "well, there you go."

Howtoons: Inspiration for Kids and Kids at Heart
You will find the ending of this excellent and inspiring presentation, hilarious. I am on my way out to find Howtoons at the bookstore. I think every kid, or kid at heart, should be reading these. Best educational tool I have seen in ages...really turns kids on to science and engineering...makes geeks heroes. "Childhood is your last chance to be a hero!"

The Secret History of Fonts
Here is an interesting presentation on The Secret History of Fonts. The presenter Bram Pitoyo, is a fontophile, a geek who loves and knows everything about fonts. Enjoy! The sound is a little wonky but the material is great! Ignite is an organization that is springing up in many cities around the world. Great for honing your presentation skills. You get 5 minutes to present 20 slides, each automatically advancing every 15 seconds. The presentations share information quickly and have impact. You can find more of them at YouTube. ..and btw, you can follow Bram Pitoya on Twitter.

Meyer Lemon Tree
Just a few slides to show you this little Meyer Lemon tree I bought at a Chinese mall at lunch time recently; it was the only one they had and I haven't seen them anywhere else. Wish me luck.
I think it will be quite nice after a summer on my patio. I have had it outdoors for about a week since I bought it but tonight we are supposed to have some frost so I have brought it indoors. I notice one of the lemons went black, probably from cold last night. Ok, I have learned my lesson, I cannot rush things. I will pay attention to the weather forecasts and move it indoors and out as needed until the end of the month.
The shape of this little tree is not very nice, yet. I hope it will fill in nicely so I can prune it into a more pretty shape. It will winter in my kitchen at the patio door.
Lemonade anyone?

Rhubarb and birds
However, trouble lurks. A little cat has moved in to the neighbourhood and he has decided he likes my patio. He crawls under the fence and sits near the rhubarb birdbath and the other taller one. I think he is after the birds! I like him even though he isn't very friendly...but I think I enjoy the birds more. At dinner tonight I saw the kitty sitting right under the bird feeder! Two birdbaths, a feeder full of niger seed and I haven't seen a bird around for a few days. A battle is about to begin.
