Haven’t posted in a few days, time I bored you all
again.
Roobarb, sounds like you are being very industrious in the garden and enjoying your art (I know there are some frustrations but it must be rewarding). Can’t imagine blossoms on the trees, your February is our May.
Weather has warmed up here, even had some rain, so the snow is shrinking. That does not mean winter is over, though, just the deep freeze is unlikely to return. March can be a devil for snowstorms.
Nice to hear some birdsong in the morning and the sky is lighter at 6:30 and tonight it was still a little light 12 hours later.
We went out three times this past week, what excitement. Went to the local grocery store haven’t been in there since December. They have a trail mix I like. Stopped at the pet food store for little lad, he needed a top up. Also hit the library for the next Peter Lovesey book, OH is reading it. We went to a clothing store and OH picked up two sweaters, total of $40, I paid $60 for one for him for Xmas, same store, very similar. He was very happy, both with the sweaters and the bargain price.
We also went to another charity shop, I got a puzzle, good brand, all different windows and very colourful. We also got some books. I gave up on one puzzle I was doing last week, too hard, and pieces missing. Finally got a bag of puzzles over to a friend, she was very happy to get them.
We went for a walk in our huge local park yesterday, it was a blistering 7C, and was it crowded! There was ice around the edges of the Thames but it did not freeze over this year. My leg/hip bothered me last night due to the walk, but not too bad today. I did some online work this morning, got a project done 10 months in the making.
Caroline, sorry about your friend’s injury, a friend of mine had the same sort, but she was visiting her mother in the hospital, slipped as she entered the building, so did it in the right place and got immediate attention, not fun at all though.
Covid cases still down here, 100 active cases in region of half a million. I may have mentioned where my daughters and brother live, Niagara region, have more restrictions because Toronto people will inundate them and TO has always been the hot spot and still not doing well. Niagara itself does not have a high number. Seems unfair, but probably sensible.
Finished my Patrick Taylor book and started Anne Perry’s second in her William and Charlotte Pitt series, might take me years to get through them all, think there are about 30!
Happy March, everyone!
