Happy bear

In which the bear is sociable (with people even) and enjoys himself.

lemur_catta and I played tour guide to the St. Lawrence Market this morning for owlfish. owlfish's SO, Colin, and double0hilly who were all quite delightful. After much buying of cheese, charcuterie, fruit and other delights we grabbed a couple of bottles of wine from our place (much squeeing over the bengals) and headed out for an impromptu picnic. I think we may have have dispelled Colin's doubts about the existence of edible sausages in Toronto but we were only able to commiserate each other over the lamentable lack of black pudding.

The afternoon was spent at the Distillery failing to hunt down alleged circus performances but what the heck. I enjoyed it.

I had a great time too, thanks for the idea (and the wine!). It was fab to finally meet the both of you. :D

Nice meeting you too. If your personal trainer isn't kicking your ass adequately , come do condintioning class thursday nights at the circus school..who knows it may lead to Tuesday night aerials and then we'll have your soul bwaaahaaaaa!

hehe, I would be WAY too mortified to come to any of your classes. I'm way too weak!

:D

So was I when I started ;) Actually the class is great for all levels because there are always ways to adapt the exercises to make them easier or harder and to pace yourself. Plenty of people in the class cant do pullups without a spotter supporting some of their weight , and it isn't just circus people, some people just come one night a week for the conditioning class `cause it's more fun than an ordinary gym.

Thank you for the wonderful tour! We'll be going back to the St. Lawrence market in the near future, all oriented. It was good to meet both of you as well.

Charming cats.

It was great fun, and my first taste of elk too! Happy Birthday!
The kitties really took to you guys fast and I don't think it was just the peameal bacon samples ;)

That's odd... we went to the distillery last night and had to beat the circus performers off with a stick!

We seemed to hit some kind of hiatus.

well to be fair there were clowns and jugglers but they dont really count , Its gotta be aerialists,acrobats, contortionists or nothing ;)

Fire dancers are good too once it gets dark
