Day 143......side by side by side, writing and editing.

Day 143......side by side by side, writing and editing.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

Sunday morning and I find myself in Tim Hortons for my waiting-stint for Ali' whilst she is at her drama class. She was really looking forward to it but I just got a text to say that she was the only kid there and the word AWKWARD. Perhaps she will have a wonderful one to one session with the 'Boys'
I have a book to read and a notepad and so I am all set for my two hours, which have flown by the past couple of weeks.
Yesterday was a quiet day, with not a lot of going-ons for the three of us. We had to be home in the morning because the water meter was being replaced. A lovely young man, with a deep sexy voice, did the job within the twenty minutes expected but he left a bit of a mess on the floor in the downstairs bathroom. It is now shiny and clean, for the first time since we moved in-lol.
Jen worked on her writing and Ali worked on doing some editing for her which gave me the nudge I needed to open my manuscript. The time flew by, sitting side by side by side on the sofa and it was 6.45 when we decided we should really make and eat dinner. I know that it's a sign of loving what you are doing, when time disappears like that and so I plan to try to disappear into my editing for at least a couple of hours, daily.
I finally got started on Jens blanket and decided to be boring and just do it in stocking stitch. I have cast on 175 stitches, as a guess and each row is taking quite a while to complete. Like crochet, I am not a fan of the first few rows but once I get going, I hope that it will knit up fast. I almost brought it with me, to do here but thought better of it, with it being white wool and all.
I actually was last into bed last night which is a first for a long time. I went as far as checking out movies but was lucky to come to my senses and went to bed by midnight. Great news and far better idea than sitting up till 2am with a high probability of falling asleep on the sofa.
On that note I will wrap up with a piece of Toronto Trivia.
Did you know that you can only park facing the way that you would be driving? You can't park facing oncoming traffic, like you can in the UK.
Much Love,
Lxx
