All of Me

My love affair with gypsy jazz was rekindled this week when I had a chance to catch the Roberto Rosenman Quartet at the Pepperjack Cafe. They obligingly played "All of Me" upon request. Now I've found another version on YouTube at:

Vacation Pickles

If you know me at all, you know how crazy I am about pickles. Today was the day I happily turned $4.99 of cucumbers into 8 jars of pickles.

This is one of my favourite summer vacation activities. Now, how long do I have to wait till they're ready?












Next, will be to make salsa!

Summer Garden

After garage-sailing this morning, I snapped a few photos of the house, garden and cats.

AGH Film Festival

Last night was the 10th annual Film Festival at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. Once again, due to weather, it was held indoors but there was room enough for all. It was a long programme of 22 films with one intermission at the halfway point. I liked that the gallery was open during the intermission so I got a chance to see the latest exhibit focussing on Japanese art. Such beautiful kimonos with amazing colours.

Once of my favourites of the evening was the last video, U Don't Bring Me Flowers by Lucas Michael. Check it out on YouTube at http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=l6hoBwyZTR4
