I believe I have a wild raspberry plant growing in my garden! I can't wait to taste them if it comes to fruit this season. At first I thought it might be a wild rose plant because of the thorns it has.
I've started going to the hairdresser every 4 weeks now as my hair seems to get grey faster than ever. He had an interesting customer chatting to him this week. Hairdressers must hear all kinds of stories, sort of like being a therapist. Anyway this man would've been in his sixties and he was telling the hairdresser of his plans to move to England. They are off next week to find a house there. His wife is English, their kids are grown and live in places like Vancouver and Malaysia. It seems they have no close relatives in the Toronto area anymore. He spoke of the books he was reading, saying how history repeats itself. It made me think that we would learn from this wouldn't we?
As I waited my turn, I browsed some magazines. I saw this tube squeezer product in a catalogue. It seemed useful for those who make a mess of their toothpaste tubes, such as son K.
Wild raspberries sound great! The toothpaste squeezer is a good idea, I am one of those messy people! Have a great weekend, Valerie
ReplyDeleteyes, it would be a problem if his family no longer lives in Toronto. I hope he finds solace in England.
ReplyDeleteI always hear some interesting stories in the barber shop. What, gray hair? I always like to think of them as stray albino hairs :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun if you have raspberries!
ReplyDeleteI never try to get the last bit out of the toothpaste
ReplyDeleteThose are not grey hairs, Christine, they are wisps of wisdom :)
ReplyDeleteIt'll be great to have raspberries! You'll let us know if you do.
How nice that the couple is planning to move to England. That's quite courageous as most people get very comfortable where they are at that age. But if you have a preferred location, why not be adventurous?
Beautiful plant! I am looking forward to finding out if it bears fruit. My mom recently bought a squeezer for her toothpaste, so far she likes it.
ReplyDeleteI like to think of my incoming white hairs as natural highlights. Lol. I haven't come down to dyeing them yet, but I might soon!
ReplyDeleteRaspberries!? Super duper YUMMY! :)
I used to do hair for a living and can vouch for your comment that we hear lots of interesting stories from interesting people. :)
ReplyDeleteThose toothpaste squeezer things really are helpful!
Oh how do I love your weekly everyday notes! The hairdresser story is so amusing! I laughed out loud! And the tube squeezer looks very useful!
