For the last time this year and for the last time for Martin & Sabrina we went to Absolute Comedy, tonight was the best show so far. Maybe it’s because of us starting to think in English instead of German or maybe the comics get better I don’t know but fact is it’s getting better and better every time.

For the weekend we decided to visit the Christmas Market in the Toronto Distillery district. We (Martin and I) had the best idea possible to combine the christmas-market with a beer tour at the Mill Street Brewery. After having a late start on that Saturday the day and night became awesome.

We started with a lunch at the brewery and then booked the tour at the brewery. In between we got some shots and after the beer we got to taste four different beers and a beer schnaps. They al tasted great. From there we left and had some more warm drinks at the market before we left by foot towards Union Station. From here we took the subway towards Yonge and Eglinton.

At Yonge and Eglinton we all agreed that we should visit the Unicorn, a local pub just around the corner from our buildings. And here we had some food and a lot of beer. Maybe a little bit to much…but one thing for sure we had a lot of fun until we left the pub around 1 o’clock to go back home.

The Sunday was less fun as you can imagine. But Danielle still was fit enough to prepare my favourite cupcakes for the last day in the office because that Monday I went to the office for the last day this calendar year and for Martin this was his farewell day since they will move back to Germany soon.

The Tuesday we went grocery shopping for christmas to prepare for our christmas breakfast and Martin to prepare for the dinner at the first day of christmas. After the groceries we went back home and Danielle and I decided to check out a Dutch Store we found out about on the Christmas Market. And I have to say I”m happy to live within 20 minutes driving for a nice Dutch Kroketje.

After using our Sonos Playbar for about 2 months now we decided that it was time to extend Sonos to our bedroom with the Sonos Play:1 and it’s nice to go to bed with some easy listening and waking up with some great music too.

Let’s prepare for christmas…

Since I was not able to keep up with Danielle when walking with the windchill her in Toronto, I decided I also needed a warm coat. We ordered a Canada Goose The Chateau in Navy Blue. Unfortunately my size was sold out in the regular stores but I Canada Goose still sold it online in their web-store so I ordered… Besides ordering a warm jacket we decided that warm hiking boots would be a good addition to our wardrobe too. We found a nice BOGO at the Sportscheck at Yonge and Eglinton, Buy One Get One 50% off.

On Tuesday we went to the movie Interstellar together at the movie-theatre we can see from living room, I still need to get used to the fact that we have everything around us in walking distance. 

And on Wednesday my Canada Goose Parka arrived and it was just in time for the first real snowstorm in Toronto this winter. We ended up having almost 25 centimetre of snow in about 24 hours. And despite the fact that it took me twice as long to get to the office and back from the office the sights were beautiful. To bad it only stayed for a couple of days. But at least we could test our new waterproof shoes and our jackets in a winter wonderland.

Thursday our Crate & Barrel Lynx Grey Rug was finally delivered, and while we first thought it might be one foot too long it is the perfect size. It’s also a perfect fit to the rest of our furniture, although we still need to wait for our custom-made Ottoman which is planned for delivery in February.

A nice thing to mention is also that for the first time in about 5 years the gas prices dropped below the dollar in Toronto. And in the meantime the presents for christmas started appearing under our christmas tree, I love the free gift wrapping service at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre.

That Saturday our neighbours came back from their Cuba vacation (thanks for the Rum) and after picking them up we enjoyed Sushi at the Sushi Supreme, I think I already mentioned that they serve great Sushi didn’t I?
