Day Trippers Yeah!

My pal Peg wanted to do some last minute Christmas shopping downtown Toronto, and asked if I'd go with her.
As we live outside of Toronto it canbe a bit daunting to go in , it s much more fun with a friend.
So we agreed to meet on the Go train in the disabled car for wheel chair partrons as there is only one and your bound to meet.Peg was getting on at Oshawa and I in Ajax, well when I got on in Ajax , no Peg in the lower car went up stairs no Peg there, went down the other side and her comes Peg thru the passing in doors from the other car.We both broke out laughing from relief at finding each other, we both agreed we should have had a plan B to meet in the Terminal At UNion in T.O> if one missed the train .It all worked out.

Into the subway from the terminal up to Dundas and Bay , Peg was getting some items for her son Matt for Christmas , that was accomplished with relative ease , lots of great choices and terrific sales woman named Shiela.

While waiting for her gifts to be wraped at Burbery's we hit William and Sanoma for free Esspreso cofffee and Peppermint brittle, same thing at Star bucks would cost at least 20.00, tastes so much better when its free.

Left there to go south to Eatons center, had not been there in eaons.
Went into Sears and Peg did a little shopping and I had a little rest in baby wear in a rocking chair, then we did a little more shopping downstairs ,
A charming man inquired if I'd sell him my goodies that were at my feet{ many many bags} while Peg was purchasing a new suitcase she needed for an up coming trip, I said a Thousand dollars for the lot at first but then realized two or three thousand was a better price, he then claimed to wanted to be my body guard to help guard all these bags , but there was one catch he wanted a thosand dollars an hour. I hired and fired him within a minute!It was very funny, his wife said that was the first time her husband had ever been fired.

Afterwords Peg and I decided to have lunch, it was almost 4pm by then we went to the Green something or other ,{ senior moment} , had a good lunch , thank you again Peg for that.

Had a lovely down time and conversation,went back out into the mall for a little more shopping and made our way back to Union to catch the train home.

I got off in Ajax, Peg went on to Oshawa were she was being picked up by Niel or a Matt,when the train hit Ajax the bus that runs on my route should have been there with the other buses to meet the train not have left the station two minutes before the train got in, found out from someone on the platform waiting for another bus.
Bus left at 840
train comes in 842
me wait till 915 for another bus, who when he came did not come to the bus sign but parked near the terminal , then nearly zoomed out of terminal bay, I ran out in front raising my cane to stop him from passing me and the other 4 people by.Idiot driver takes a tour of all the factories which are closed, why, thats between him and his demon God!
looping up from Monarch to Mackenzie to Baily along Westney to Baily and finally down Harwood to the lake and back up to Gorton were I got off.Time arrived home
950, its not priceless its retarded, it should take 5 minutes to get home.
My hands were numb my feet were numb and what should have been just an easy go home , the Durham transit once again made it hell.
