Day 151..........yet another lovely visit with Ross.

Day 151..........yet another lovely visit with Ross.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

My Monday mornings are a lovely way for a week to start and I even managed to get my meditation done yesterday before I headed up to see Ross. Reading the small print on my daily morning reads, is a bit too much first-thing, without the help of my specs but the focus is good once daylight is shining through the windows.  I managed to disregard the specs altogether yesterday. This morning, I had a wee panic about giving the wrong Social Insurance number, over the phone and so I used them but I intend not to do so for the rest of the day.
It was a cold trip up to Lawrence Ave, feeling like -20 in the wind. Apparently they were expecting a huge storm over the Eastern seaboard but it hasn't been as bad as anticipated. Toronto continues to offer pitiful snow-flurries adn frigid temperatures. At least the sun is shining brightly. Too cold,yesterday even for our wander around the car-park to look at the car models, Ross and I looked at some of his photography instead. He has taken some stunning photographs in his time and it is obvious how much he loved it. I was telling him about my experiment with my eyes and he got quite a kick out of my positive thinking. He is a wealth of knowledge about many many things and I just keep asking him questions, which he can always answer in a hugely interesting way. I do love my Monday morning. My wee lady, up there, seems to be brighter these days and I always get a laugh from her, if I stop to make conversation.
I just missed my bus home, yesterday and I took it as a sign that I was to nip into Starbucks and treat myself to a Hazelnut Latte-YUM. It helped keep my fingers warm whilst waiting on the bus.
Did I mention that I want an Audi?
It's the car of my dreams and I've decided that I would quite like to have one now. Since I have made this decision, I see them all over the place-lol and I find myself learning all the North-American car-emblems as I scan the cars for my Audi. I think that I will get an image of one and post it as my screensaver.
My knitting is growing and I am going to add in the crochet, today, before it gets dark. I can knit in the dimly lit house but I would find it difficult to do my 'conversion-row' in that light. I am quite excited to see how it will look.
The laundry basket is now empty-woohoo. No more laundry till the weekend unless i decide to wash Ali's bedlinen one evening, which I probably ought to. It is very nice to have clean piles of underwear again but I think that some of our socks have left home.
Ali has been heading down to school at eight, to do some Math revision with a friend. It makes it a long day for her, by the time she gets home the back of six but she is coping grand. Her Math is still giving her the same difficulty that it did at home but she's still managing to keep her marks up, despite that. She went off this morning bearing a box of chocs for her tutoring pal.
Not a great deal to report. Jen and I are round at the library but it is stuffed full of kids who may just be on their lunch or perhaps there are exams going on in some of the schools. No tables or seats with trays, we may not stay here if they don't move on. I had forgotten that I hadn't written this, till we were on our way here and won't be able to post it till I get home due to the laptop still not having any wifi. The noise levels are a bit high for me in here and so I may find that I have to bail. We shall see and I will let you know tomorrow.
Much Love to all,
Lxxxx
