Thursday ; Mostly sunny, windy, a very chilly +3° C.
I spent much of today getting “caught up” after yesterday’s day trip to Vancouver ; credit card accounting, writing yesterday’s journal / blog entry, downloading and processing photos and videos from the i-Phone to the laptop, posting my weekly journal to my blog.
While Joanne prepared supper I made an excellent fire in our fireplace, and it burned bright and warm for the rest of the evening. We had supper while enjoying the fire and watching last night’s episode of Survivor.
Friday ; Sunny, +7° C.
This afternoon we went to Country Grocer in Cobble Hill, then Superstore in Duncan to replenish groceries. On the way back home we went to the Cobble Hill dog park. We were there between 5 PM and 6 PM so there were a lot more dogs there than usual. Apollo is not all that interested in socializing with other dogs, but he certainly enjoys meeting people.
Saturday ; Raining, +3° C.
Today was a long, difficult day of nothing but bickering, ending with a lot of anger and hurt. HMPH ! Haven’t done that in quite awhile !
Sunday ; Mostly sunny, still not all that warm at +6° C.
We will be certain not to repeat this year’s mistake of spending only half the winter in Victoria, where it was and continues to consistently be 5° warmer than here in Cobble Hill. <shrug> HMPH ... learning curve !
Tonight it was my turn to make supper. I made another Udon noodle stir fry creation.
Monday ; Mix of sun and clouds, intermittent rain ... and a short bout of hail (!), +4° C.
We had planned to make another visit to a local beach area today, but the weather was not co-operative. It seems as if we are going to have chilly, wet weather for most of the upcoming week. <sigh>
This afternoon I worked again on preparing our income tax returns. BORING !
And this evening I made another lovely fire in the fireplace, and we watched multiple episodes of The Dog House, a British show chronicling the workings of a dog rescue shelter.
Tuesday ; Mostly sunny, +7° C. Seemed a lot colder than that at the beach !
Mid-afternoon we headed to nearby Cherry Point Nature Park (beach). BRRRRR ! Windy ! We had not expected that, as there was no wind at home / Xanadu Estate. We didn’t stay at the beach long.
Back at home I continued the boring work on our income tax returns. I’m slightly stymied by a couple of late T3’s that I have not yet received.
Wednesday ; Mix of sun and clouds, +7° C.
This afternoon Joanne went grocery shopping by herself ; Country Grocer in Cobble Hill, Dollar Tree and Superstore in Duncan. I stayed home and napped with Apollo, then paid bills, reconciled February bank statements, and continued working on preparation of our income tax returns. Almost finished, just awaiting that last set of late T3’s.
