Canadutch

And now for some fresh “real” pics. This is barely scratching the surface but the files are huge and I’m clogging up all the bandwidth.

Ate a lot of wild blueberries and raspberries on our hike which is a good sign when the berry season is good that bears won’t wander into town but higher chance of bumping into one grazing at your neighbouring blueberry bush, yikes.

Had a refreshing swim during a bit of rain and immediately after the sky cleared up then we went canoeing.

Mosquitoes are attracted to black so I changed out of my cat shirt into this shirt sail. My grey version of it has gone missing. Sad face.

Our personal Sean Connery guide. While we were destroying all the lily pads and wild water flowers he just calmly sat and waited snapping our pictures, can’t wait to see those haha. It’s hard to steer with two people, usually a couple.

Orig pic sans instagram.

Beginning of our falls hike.

Taking pretty easily to this forest toolbag get-up.

Plenty of amazing discoveries to be found in there. It was a 4km hike all in. Sean Connery had a cane and still schooled us. To be fair though I needed help at certain junctures along the way with my ankle.

Then we were fungry for burgers, never ate one so fast. Then we boiled water over fire to wash the dishes in a pot. RUSTICAL Raymes.

Not as hosed as I look just caught mid-blink. Testing the camera settings.

Not much else to do in terms of night life so we made do. Left a mini living room for our waitress and cigarette bonus.

I use to leave a chair everyday on a streetcar seat for someone made from my transfer then go sit elsewhere. I caught many rider’s joy from finding them, delicately folding and putting in their purses or briefcases. Adorable right.

Party lights. That Lincoln mkZ sure made the week awesomer and we looked fancy with our s together. Very much so recommend.

Ain’t she a beaut.

We then went to Barron canyon through Algonquin, in Algonquin. Spectacular.

You get a bit of the heebie jeebies and picture yourself falling a lot or your lover and then thinking about wthell would you do? Both getting nervous for one another’s safety and snapping to GET BACK. Seriously don’t get complacent near any ledge with a crazy drop.

Oh hi again :)

Had enough exploring at this point and of taking photos of every single tree and thing that breathed or cats a shadow. Man look at that roof!

Dutchness all over the house.

Cute kids.

Ran through my monkey and only trampled my heart. I saw them coming knew it would happen and didn’t even care.

At the scene of this potato is when a man (that’s his truck there) came up to us and asked about the rims it was pretty forward in that he fully RAN to us. I was like uh am I going to get told off for taking a picture of a potato now? Okay folks that’s that.

Hi sorry I’m back

I mean sorry for being away not sorry I’m back. Pretty tired from all that driving and today got up early to drop off car then were stranded at Pearson cos all rentals were sold out wtf blah blah have a new car now it’s all fine but my brain is telling me it wants to play hooky for one more day.

Had a great trip/time, share that all with you tomorrow just getting back in to the groove of thing thangs. This boy is seeing lots and lots of Ontario (and a bit of Quebec too!) yay. Sister prob coming out in September.

Bye now!

Hit me with your V Spot

It’s that time again. Here’s one of my 8 v-picks.

V-Spot 7: 11 Year old Yemeni girl runs away to escape marriage

This super eloquent brave little girl ran away from home to live with her uncle (hope there’s no backlash there!) to avoid being married off to a much older man (sickening) the kid hasn’t even gone through puberty yet, it’s incredible. We’re so happy to see this video as heavy as it is the message should be spread, not to get all cultural judgey or anything but marrying children and depriving them of education or a chance to make up their own minds is a horrible thing to do especially when some of them choose drowning over it. Good luck Nada Al-Ahdal and congrats on your new life journey.

Go see the rest now ya hear! V SPOT JULY 31 love Raymi Bunny.

Check ya later :)

Raymazing summer

What’s up yo. Picked up our new ride for the week (with an extra day bonus thanks to the upcoming holiday Monday) took her for a spin and went to one of our favourite parks starring this baby bunny.

I didn’t wash my hair yesterday so I wasn’t exactly feeling camera vogueing it up but whatever, real life and what not right.

I keep forgetting how brilliant this camera is.

A father behind us was having difficulty getting his daughter on her little bike with training wheels to make it up along this path you could tell he was embarrassed we were in ear shot, I almost offered to push her. Next time avoid wood chips dude.

I love old world leftovers.

And jungles. When will the hot weather come back though?

Got a little hot in my sweater like wtf did I bring this out for and naturally the boy has a go at it.

Oh so Euro, fine if you make fun of me it’s getting blogged.

Seriously that’s the pose? You’re like OJ pretending the glove doesn’t fit. I said you better not delete these pictures!!! Ha.

There she is, such a dream ride. Swankier than the last one which was pretty classy in and of itself. The Lincoln MKZ has a gigantic panoramic roof and if you speed up a little it closes (just partially) on its own for safety so your back window view behind isn’t obstructed.

The name of this colour is bordeaux. SWOON. My dad is in love with all aspects of this car and is awaiting me to hook him up with one next haha lol. I love the white/bordeaux contrast dad says it’s like a car from Britain with a similar custard and cream look, it’s so posh and not to be full of myself but seriously everyone rubber necks a Lincoln vehicle there’s just something about it, also the colour probably pushes the look at me over the edge. BF is the one who points out the gawking, egomaniac.

It’s usually men driving other nice cars who stare and appreciate the fineness of the Lincoln MKZ it feels like we’re in a special club with them. Owning it. Once I hit publish we’re going to hit the streets and go sight seeing, hit some back roads.

19″ lovely wheels.

Some sky action.

Great navigation set-up, or “nagigation” as we call it/I’m called. (whatever he is so much more of a nag) and love the THX II audiophile sound system plus sirius satellite and wifi, obviously. There’s also the interior disco lights which I super love, this time bf chose red (not for long though I’m so switching it to purple). Oh yeah the seats are AC too, feels interesting.

Swipe volume too so futuristic and the park/drive/sport buttons are all push too, crazy cool!

Adore the brown swirl walnut wood applique too, fancy mcfancy.

I want like one (or several) great backseat pics in there definitely in one of my heartbreaker dresses a la Dita.

The boys just took off in it so I could get some peace, we’ll probably drive up to the escarpment.

White dune perforated leather that’s all I gotta say, it’s nice to max and relax against it for a change usually it’s always black/grey.

It’s like all the fun of a convertible without all the fuss.

That’s a little shelf to my left for papers and misc. stuff, yay!

Went to the poacher for some grub.

It rained for a bit so we went inside to booth it up which is all I really wanted anyway I was so wiped out yesterday from working the Canadian Open on the w/e beginning Thurs.

Did not understand these extra spots in the booth.

One could in no way reach the table. Resisted urge to carve our names.

BF says this is very Dutch. Um no, Dutch is very this, as in British. Thank you come again. I ate his peas, he asked for carrots like the menu stated. It’s nice that we annoy and/or irritate and confuse all servers we encounter. That’s what they’re there for no? It’s also funny watching people trying to pretend they understand his thick accent.

It’s also a trip to take him everywhere I have ever been ever. My grandfolks had their Scottish dancing parties upstairs at the Arms, a club they also founded in Oakville BTW.

Hi it’s me again. That thing on my chest is like a sun blister, not a blemish (trust me I’ve tried to squeeze it haha sorry TMI) so now obviously I’m all is it skin cancer???

Was attempting to catch the sun on my face for a pic, pro tip.

If the man’s happy (and he is) then the woman is happy. Yeah it’s true happy wife happy life but it goes both ways.

Thanks so much for making our weeks again Ford Canada. Now here’s a little video cruising LakeShore, best street ever to scenic route it up avoid highway traffic by.

Discovered this tune while in Holland. Music in Europe is awesome, you have to have a pen or something handy quick though to write it down and they often play three songs in a row you dig then you’re like what’s the name of that song that goes blap bloop bloop blee dee deet duh deet deet again? Totally.

Oh I forgot we did a little shopping too.

A modern classic.

Dad/bf just came back from a spin, dad’s in love. BF says when you close the door it sounds like a “mercedes door” so quiet and streamlined, perfection. They’re non-stop talking about the car now.

On the way to pick it up.

The night before he ate that. Not surprised.

He got me this while I was working, haven’t tried them on yet I don’t want to be disappointed.

I look like an 80’s music video. OKAY PEACE BYE. Have a great Tuesday! xo rlw.

Less is moron

Hey guys sorry for neglecting you dear blog, been busy.

So here’s some normal stuff instead. Had taste of Borington at Paradiso last night, the roof of my mouth is still blistering from these steamy hot sweet potato phyllos, d’oh.

Orig pic sans insta.

Not exactly the best shot of my six pack of stomach but I was wearing tight pants and notice how your bra combined makes the extra tire of fun? I super don’t care, I like having extra weight (keep telling myself that) I mean my bf likes it/doesn’t care in fact is getting a Canadian belly too (whoops!) and we’re happy. I mean I’d love to be a beanpole again but I’m confident in how I look now, I turn heads I ain’t dead that’s all that matters. Plus curvy is the new skinny (I just made that up) curvy and thirty, I’m not a kid anymore anyway but I think when I work with them I’m gonna start saying I am one (25) cos apparently I can pass for it.

Sorry for all that insecurity there, as a blogger who always gets needled for every little thing that appears in my photos from my hands to my face and my thighs I always feel the need to pre-defend myself however standing up I look like this, not fat stomach flattens out so that is that.

Lol crazy eye, crazy for you eye.

I didn’t eat this, for the billionth time I’m not a sweets person.

Me in my monkey suit two days ago.

And the day before that. The networking has been great too, stacks of biz cards and one butt compliment thrown in there for good measure. Today will separate the mice from the men for sure. Pretty much hired for another gig already but I have to suss it out first, when someone says in their email “no buying or selling” it kinda totally means Buying and Selling, you can’t bs a bs’er yo.

Had a nice visit round the corner with some fam friends :).

That bar is a relic, it was in our old basement. Some good times had on it fur sure.

Blind kitty.

Hipster pantsitis. Okay gotta preen now, have a great one.

Up all night to get plucky

Heyonara dudes. Happy Tuesday. Captain Raymboat here with my weekender chronicles for ya’s. Hit the water on my uncle’s boat Saturday, day after the immense storm and luckily the heatwave behaved after all that action.

Givin’er. BF and I wanted to jump off the boat and swim but unfortunately there’d be no way to catch back up with the boat again since it’s a charter fishing boat and they be a trollin’ rollin’ steadily away from us. We’ll hit a beach yet no worries “s’all good” in the southern ON hood.

These were the biggest juiciest polish sausages I’ve ever seen, lots of inneundos were made of course, “it’s a tight bbq but they fit” lol.

All the fishing action took place just as the sun was setting it got pretty intense, four fish on the line at once reeling and reeling it in for forever. WE KEPT IT REEL.

The polish guys finally started smiling once we caught this salmon thank goodness. Caught an even bigger fish than this afterward, such a dinosaur.

After all was said and done we ripped it up in my uncle’s Shelby whaaaat sick. More on that later. Driving with a broken hand, interesting.

Next day at Monfort’s mmmmmmonforts. That place doesn’t change. No need.

Kicked it old school with some above selfies. Not bad not bad.

Says Fatale at the bottom. Shopping in Holland realizing halfway through I was in a store for millennials. Whatevs, I see older chicks in f21 all the time. Daps. I don’t really know anyone who dresses “their age”.

We stayed on the water for about 5 hours.

Super fun as always. Lucked out with some calm waters. They couldn’t go out the next day cos the water was choppy, three foot waves, seasickness for sure.

Hello down there.

It very much feels like a holiday being out there we were very grateful and lucky.

Jules you were missed.

Typical boat pose vantage point shots of course.

It’s hard to see what you’re taking with the sun in your face, guess I’m just a natural at it. Only took 13 years hah.

Paradise.

Taking turns driving is fun but it’s not as simple as it looks you have to keep the bearing straight cos you’ve got lines in the water, waves and wind to account for.

The boys fought this branch for a long while, courtesy of the storm we kept it on the boat til we were done fishing sick of catching branches and leaves so often.

This was the biggest beast of all. Too heavy for me to grab by the end and pose with like that plus I didn’t want slime all over me, I tried but then he started flopping around. I have mixed emotions over sport fishing but if you’re going to keep and eat them then why not. Vegetarians look away for today.

Aw. Everyone took turns posing with it hehe. Protocol. More later bye friends! ps. don’t forget ships don’t lie.

Saturday chaturday

Hey guys some storm last night right!

The new camera is so Raymazing. Wish I had more time to upload all the stuff I shoot. I will, in time.

Love this car bf wants to take one back to Holland.

Sweet classic Ford stang.

Bro and I rocking the same flip flops.

Great view from a new resto at YDS there wasn’t a line-up for the patio either enjoy that while it lasts.

Have to keep that string attached otherwise the shirt would flop right open. Maybe I should just remove it though.

Nothing unites people like weather eh. So many amazing pics blasted online yesterday of everyone’s diff skyp0rn. I have sweet videos too you’ll see once it’s socially irrelevant. Sorry off to hit the water today thank god the temperature has cooled down a bit.

I blurred myself cos I was trying to be arty and mysterious. Booked a hotel cos didn’t want to drive back intox’d, smrt guys.

Misters, so good.

Bro said he would have paid to eat our exquisite meal, hmm, maybe you should then dude next dish is 5 bucks.

Pushin’ my luck gotta go!

Stay cool.
