Up and drove Ash to work in my jammies. Spent a couple hours on the phone trying to rearrange my trip home. Occurs to me I should leave a day earlier to deal with the time change and get some work done before I head home to the central coast. The Airmiles lady was a hoot, fascinated by the trip I have taken, even google mapped Bella Bella while I was on the phone. Rati, the roommate from Zimbabwe, and I went to pick up Ash and then we headed for the box stores to get a few more things for the house. To my horror the Valentines were out already
and don’t get me started about the ‘fashions’
Next stop was Smokes Poutine
Yes, we shared a Perogy Poutine, full on carb load. I remembered to take a picture of the glass on the front of Erin’s as not a soul seemed to know what it meant the other night
Google says:
Is folamh fuar é teach gan bean.
A house without a woman is empty [and] cold.
Seems right to me
We left Ash at work for her split shift, I dropped off Rati and headed out to Paradise to visit with Nancy. Her friend Dolores was there, her kids Jemma and Jeff and partners stopped by and we all had a great long visit. Apparently I’m all good as I was drinking Screech on the rocks, something none of them would do. We had such a good visit and then, bless her heart, Ash got Andrew to drive her out and bring me and the car back.
They are all sure I must come back this summer but I’m not sure that’s doable. Would be fun though. Texted with Mom and Shannon as my vehicle is now heading back up island without me. It’s strange to once again be thinking of home but fully immersed here. Big plans to tourist about tomorrow as Ash is off work, can’t wait!
