Sleep did not come easy, I am still messed up by the time change, I am missing Ashlée and I am worried about sleeping in. I wake and shower before my alarm rings. A quick coffee and we are packed up and off to the South Terminal. Checked in, paid my extra weight amount and …
Up so early again! Sitting around watching the news and drinking coffee when I convinced Mom we should go to a movie. I looked up what was on at Landmark Cinema at the bottom of the hill and discovered it was only $6 each if we went before noon. Night at the Museum was starting …
Poor Mom made a delicious dinner last night which was ready when I got back from taking care of some banking issues. I barely managed to get through it, show her the blog and fall asleep by 8 pm. I woke up at 2, 4:20, 5:30 and 7:30 when I finally got up. Headed off …
We stayed up way too late the last night and had a hard time getting moving in the morning. It didn’t really matter as the snow blanketed everything and was still coming down. We played Nintendo, goofed around, did laundry and lounged about as Ash did not have to work due to snow. Eventually it …
I woke up and ate this for breakfast, yep that’s right… and then we went here That’s how we roll on my last full day here. If I drank that beer I could equip my life with cool stuff. Ash had made a list of things she felt I should or would love to see …
Woke to the sound of men outside the bedroom door. There has been a leak from the bathroom to the dining room and apparently they were here to solve it. As I had already established that the cause was a split coupling on the shower head I jumped out of bed and went to talk …
Ash was off to work in a horrible blustery storm. The rain and wind was quickly washing away the previous night’s dump of snow. I puttered all day, tried installing new curtain rod for closet but needed a drill, watched Ink Master episodes, cooked little scoops of chili with cheese, dismantled the leaking shower….. Etc. …
Up and slowly at it, we headed to ‘The Rooms’ which I will admit is an eyesore on the horizon to me. Apparently it was built to resemble the military stores of the old days. What a grand deal it turned out to be! Now to be honest, the guy who took our money was …
Up and out on a gloriously sunny and cool day. Ash and I went for breakfast downtown at a very funky restaurant I had the Yorkshire Pudding Bennies… Oh my they were delicious Afterwards we wandered up to Gower Street for a few pictures And then in and out of some stores where Louise met …
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 …
The morning started off slowly in Jammie’s with food and coffee in bed watching a movie Ash walked to retrieve her car downtown and I got ready for us to go to her bosses for an open house. On the way there we experienced a lovely sight and sound in the cool quiet day, a …
Got Ash off to work, hung out and watched the Kardashians… What a comedy that is… Went to pick up my girl and noticed that this is a town prepared for snow, the meters are against the buildings we went off to buy her new pillows and bedding to start the new year and came …
Up and drove Ash to work for 10 am, stopped and took pic of the harbour then headed looking for a place to buy boots as there is no way I am wearing my heels for New Years. Stopped at several outlets and then Walmart where much to my surprise I found some but not …
Woke up to snow on the ground! I let Ash sleep and hung out downstairs with Pudge once ready we headed again for Signal Hill. Ironically, on the way I had called Telus as I was having trouble with data on my phone. While standing by this plaque I received a call back and had …
Ash was off to work again today so I hung out relaxing and crocheting until she texted me she was going to be done early. I readied and started walking down, once again loving the Jelly Bean houses along the way We met up part way and wandered our way through cool little stores picking …
Ashlée was off to work early so I puttered doing laundry, etc and decided to text Nancy to see if she could cut and colour my hair. Of course she said come on over this afternoon so I got ready and walked the 20 minutes or so down to Oliver’s where Ashlée works to get …
The day broke sunny, not rainy as forecast. Ashlée made me another local food treat, Toutons and Scrunchins. She turned this: into this deliciousness, complete with molasses to dip in after breakfast we got ready and headed for Port de Grave Our first stop was Topsail/Conception Bay where we played on the Beach and I …
Woke up to find Santa had arrived leaving stockings under the tree on the wall. I was very spoiled both by Ashlée and the Guedes clan in Cranbrook who had sent my gifts ahead. Ashlée liked her treasures too she made us pancakes and then we watched a cheesy movie in our Jammie’s on the …
Another ridiculously restless night found me awake and ready to go early. Started it off right. Mom was to take me to the airport and then go on to Salt Spring Island to be with my brother and family. I started taking stuff down to the car and saw that the light was on in …
