You need to take the ferry and there are no cars allowed, so it is a really cute area which doesn't feel like being in the city. My friend Helen (who is from New Zealand) lives there with her boyfriend Pete. They are visitig New Zealand now for the Christmas holidays and she asked me to check the house sometimes and water the plants. Last weekend I went over with Denise, Dave, Laura and two of Denises friends from work, Kirstan and Beth. we spent the day over there, drinking hot chocolate and wine and eating cheese and snacks like pigs and playing some games. It was a nice day out of the city, like a little adventure. Denise and I spent the night over which was nice, a little vacation away but still close.</p><figure class="size-full wp-image-254"><a

Laura (Dave's girlfriend) got some tickets to go see the second-level Toronto team. They had a practice by the first team followed by the game so we went to see both. Denise's friend Harry joined us instead of Denise because she doesn't like hockey. It was great seeing some live hockey. The team that practiced first is the main Toronto team, a very famous team. Toward the end of the practice they got a local kids team to come on the ice and practice with the real players. It was SO cute! Those really big hockey players were playing along with the little kids, passing the puck and pushing each other.</p><figure class="size-full wp-image-260"><a href="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/dsc01227.jpg"><img loading="lazy" title="Laura at hockey" src="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/dsc01227.jpg" alt="Laura at hocey" width="490" height="367" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" srcset="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01227-xs.jpg 640w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01227-sm.jpg 768w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01227-md.jpg 1024w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01227-lg.jpg 1366w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01227-xl.jpg 1600w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01227-2xl.jpg 1920w"></a></figure><p></p><figure class="size-full wp-image-263"><a href="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/dsc01243.jpg"><img loading="lazy" title="Hockey players" src="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/dsc01243.jpg" alt="Hockey players" width="490" height="367" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" srcset="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01243-xs.jpg 640w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01243-sm.jpg 768w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01243-md.jpg 1024w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01243-lg.jpg 1366w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01243-xl.jpg 1600w, https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/media/posts/1446/responsive/dsc01243-2xl.jpg 1920w"></a></figure><p></p><p>Hanukah was fun this year! we lit the candles every night and even had some friends over some times.

I plan to go to Denises parents place for the 24th evening, when we do all the presents opening etc, spend the night over and probably go over to Mikes place for the 25th, where they do the presents during the day. Spend the day there, which is usually very relaxing and fun and head over back to Waterloo (where Denise's family lives) for the 26th and 27th, where we have plans to meet up with friends and family. Here are some pictures of the crazy present wrapping.

Nothing more. Denise is away at a Christmas party at Waterloo tonight and I stayed home because I need to work. Instead, I am at a pub having some chicken wings, beer and writing this post. I plan to wake up early tomorrow, have a quick breakfast and head over to the lab to work.</p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Hugs,</p><p>Yoav</p></div><footer class="content__footer"><div class="entry-wrapper"><div class="content__actions"><div class="content__share"><button class="btn--icon content__share-button js-content__share-button"><svg width="20" height="20" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/assets/svg/svg-map.svg#share"></use></svg> <span>Share It</span></button><div class="content__share-popup js-content__share-popup"><a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Winter%20affairs https%3A%2F%2Fyfarkash.github.io%2Fsunrisesunset%2Fwinter-affairs.html" class="js-share whatsapp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><svg class="icon" aria-hidden="true" focusable="false"><use xlink:href="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/assets/svg/svg-map.svg#whatsapp"/></svg> <span>WhatsApp</span></a></div></div></div></div><nav class="content__nav"><div class="wrapper"><div class="content__nav-inner"><div class="content__nav-prev"><a href="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/hanukah-update.html" class="content__nav-link" rel="prev"><div><span>Previous</span> Hanukah update</div></a></div><div class="content__nav-next"><a href="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/christmas.html" class="content__nav-link" rel="next"><div><span>Next</span> Christmas</div></a></div></div></div></nav></footer></article></main><footer class="footer"><div class="wrapper"><div class="footer__copyright"><p>Powered by Publii</p></div><button onclick="backToTopFunction()" id="backToTop" class="footer__bttop" aria-label="Back to top" title="Back to top"><svg width="20" height="20"><use xlink:href="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/assets/svg/svg-map.svg#toparrow"/></svg></button></div></footer><script defer="defer" src="https://yfarkash.github.io/sunrisesunset/assets/js/scripts.min.js?v=ffcbea6c02c8178d10092962b235a5b0"></script><script>window.publiiThemeMenuConfig={mobileMenuMode:'sidebar',animationSpeed:300,submenuWidth: 'auto',doubleClickTime:500,mobileMenuExpandableSubmenus:true,relatedContainerForOverlayMenuSelector:'.top'};</script><script>var images = document.querySelectorAll('img[loading]');
