The American Antiques Roadshow is better then the British one as the people are less venal and more likely to be genuinely surprised. As with most shows the Canadian version is a bit pathetic, one strugles to be kind, as if watching a primary school nativity play. Anyway, in the classic edition of the American show a guy who lived in a trailer brought this old blanket from his TV chair, he thought it might have belonged to Kit Carson. I thought he might drop dead when it was declared to be "a National Treasure".

yeah, your right, sorry if i sounded flippant, its just my husband (who is canadian) is always joking that what they call old, isnt really, in comparison to here..

Last weekend, I helped out the bf with filming a low budget film he's working on in downtown Toronto

I was in charge of the catering - making sure that the coffee machine was fully loaded, that the table was groaning with food, and spending most of the afternoon watching 3 scenes being filmed. Oh and finding chairs for people, black duck tape and fixing broken zips and finding kitchen towel - which is called paper towel over here for some reason.

Saturday night we went to a party of a friend of his. On Sunday I pretty much crashed out, although I did manage to write for two hours.

This weekend, I'm going diving near St Catherines on Saturday morning, having a hair cut/ mooch around downtown Oakville/ buying paint for the basement and my bathroom

On Sunday you'll probably find me with my feet in a paint bucket at some point!

I've got something that dates back about 700 to 1500 years. I should really find out one day .

A yew tree doesn't count!

My weekend usually consists (in the summer anyway) of a drive to the mountains, prairies or one of the local parks for either a bit of botany or birdwatching. If I'm not working that is.

In the winter visiting people for food or if the weather's warm enough a skate around the lakes in Kananaskis.

Watch it beech! Leaf me alone! Why, I oughta kick you in the ash!
