Just the kids & I. Dropped off G this morning. Special request made to see the biodome, so here we are.... #biodome #biodomemontreal #twoemuadventures #homeschooling #fieldtrip

Ton Sushi is this amazing unassuming hole in the wall restaurant. Anytime we have to go to Montreal, we like to pop into Ton Sushi. It was nice to be back again. Ton works really hard, it's just him to do everything, cook, serve etc. He always remembers my allergies, and the food is delicious. #sushi #tonsushi #Montreal #twoemuadventures

I miss the clear skies & sun. These photos were taken pretty early this morning. Wild fires abound in parts of Canada. They're predicting this will last the summer. Fires in Ontario, Quebec & New Brunswick are affecting our area. Today's air quality was worse than Tuesday's & tomorrow is predicted to be worse again. Shame that the bigger issue at hand is being ignored, as always. #climatechange #wildfirescanada

Progress... Day 5 Had a little help from the rest of the family too 😊 Supposed to rain tomorrow, so it will be a forced day off from the garage door. Hopefully, it's just the one day off..... (not because this is enjoyable, but because I just want it to be done 🤣) #twoemuadventures #refinishing #paintingprep

20 written this morning... so far. An advantage of waking up early 😅 I am hoping to get into town today to post, as I really need to do a pickup & drop off of other things. But maybe it'll be tomorrow, as I have so much to do & I like to post everything at once (& I have way more to write) . . . . #postcards #snailmail #happymail #twoemuadventures

I hope those on my postcard list like Beatrix Potter. If you have a favourite character (or your kids do), let me know. I actually bought these years ago when the kids first went to the UK & we did a whole Beatrix Potter tour, including this awesome little place called The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, which is where I got these. I don't really collect postcards anymore on the scale I did, so I'm looking forward to sending out this collection of the form of little notes that cheer. #postcards #twoemuadventures #snailmail

Progress???? I thought prep to repaint the garage doors might be a little faster. There's (8x4 =) 32 panels.... I'm getting close to getting one done..... maybe. I really need to stop getting distracted & taking paint off other panels, though. This is apparently my project now, as everyone else bailed 🤣 #garagedoorpainting #paintingprep #twoemuadventures

Making a huge pot of homemade tomato soup (literally olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, tomatoes & veggie stock) to share. It might be getting up to 32C today (finally!), but we love our tomato soup 🍅 🍲 year round. It also helped that vine tomatoes were on sale at the moment, too. 🙃 Tomato soup is a favourite here because not only is it simple to make, (in fact both kids know how to make it), but tomatoes are one of the easiest things to get without plastic wrapping on them. . . . . . . . #homemadetomatosoup #sustainableliving #twoemuadventures #tomatosoup

The dutch oven I got a few months back (on sale) seems to fit the potential boat oven, that I managed to get price matched & save a couple hundred bucks on today, as we try it out to workout if it's possible to go fully electric. It's a bit of a beast, that would need to be gimbaled & we might need to lock it shut too, but it has potential. The ducks are not in a line, but we're flailing around to try to get them to come into some sort of formation. #twoemuadventures #breville #dutchoven #travel #electricoven
