Hottttt
Lurking around the apartment in my bathers as the heatwave continues. 35C yesterday with the humidex and not sure what today is temp-wise but its still hawwwt. Gotta get dressed soon and go to Josh's parents place on my own ( Josh is at work ) for the regular Sunday dinner ( bbq tonight ). His mums cousin and her nephew are gonna be there.
I am really quite content to stay at home , in my bathers, and enjoy my Sunday day off and do some writing/work on my photography/read before I have to start the work week tomorrow....I liked my quiet Sundays where I didnt have to go/be anywhere...its just a breather before the week starts all over again so I've always been a little possessive of my Sunday Me-time.
Since the Aus government changed the law on citizenship ( ie. Australians can now hold dual residency ) I've been thinking of applying for Canadian citizenship ...
Josh and I really have to get things in motion regarding his moving to Aus after my work visa runs out also...

A Beautiful Song
Click Here to download 'Una Palabra'.. ya wont regret it
( its the 4th song from the top of list )
Una Palabra
Una palabra no dice nada
y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo
igual que el viento que esconde el agua
como las flores que esconde el lodo.
Una mirada no dice nada
y al mismo tiempo lo dice todo
como la lluvia sobre tu cara
o el viejo mapa de algún tesoro.
Una verdad no dice nada
y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo
como una hoguera que no se apaga
como una piedra que nace polvo.
Si un día me faltas no seré nada
y al mismo tiempo lo seré todo
porque en tus ojos están mis alas
y está la orilla donde me ahogo,
porque en tus ojos están mis alas
y está la orilla donde me ahogo.
Translation
A Word/Una Palabra
A word says nothing
And at the same time it hides everything
Just as the wind that hides the water
Like the flowers that hide the earth
A glance says nothing
And at the same time it says everything
Like the rain on your face
Or an old map; a treasure
A truth says nothing
And at the same time it hides everything
Like a bonfire that cannot be extinguished
Like a stone that is born of dust.
If one day I’m gone, I will be nothing
And at the same time I’ll be everything
Because in your eyes there are my wings
And the shore where I drown,
Because in your eyes are my wings
And the shore where I drown.

Joss Stone
Wednesday night was Joss Stone concert night at Massey Hall !!
Massey Hall is an intimate cosy venue in downtown Toronto that is similar in size and appearance to The Melbourne Town Hall. We had seats in the first balcony towards the right hand side of the stage. The distance from the stage was equivalent to sitting in row two on the floor, only we were up one itty bitty level. Best seat I've ever had at a concert ! She's a cute lil thang, playing with the audience and jumping off the stage quite a few times and going out into the audience to get them up and dancing. Some girls sitting beside us kept hollering out " I love yewwww Jossssss !" , causing her ( once or twice ) to stop her song and giggle.
She put on a great show and has a fantastic voice live; the true barometer of singing talent.
Her supporting act was Raul Midon
. What an up and coming talent ! His voice reminded me of a cross between Stevie Wonder and Guy Sebastian. He seems to write a lot of his own songs also. Superb voice !
After the concert we wandered up Yonge Street in the warm spring night, sitting down on some steps and people watching for awhile.
That was the best part of the night for me.... :)
