3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.
With the frigid temperatures outside, I was a tad concerned about the walk to and from the Pizza Pizza shop, to bring home our dinner. Of course, there were ways around it like, having the pizza delivered or having Chinese food instead but Jen and I eventually dismissed the idea of Chinese food and got well-wrapped up to brave our sub-zero walk. It was still daylight on the way there, which was a bonus because the sun does give off some warmth, even in these temp's but the wind was appalling. My neck disappeared as I shrank into my jackets turned-up collar and I pulled my hat down to below my eyebrows to try to reduce the area of stinging on my face. I must have looked a very pretty sight.
The walk home was not nearly as bad because the wind was behind us and I was glad to be holding the hot pizza for half the walk. My arms get tired about half way home and Jen takes over....it's quite the wee routine we have got going. Ali came in from work just behind us and I was amazed that the pizza was still piping hot. I know that I have said that before but we haven't tested it in such cold temperature before. Triple bagging really does work a treat.
Our Pizza movie was Blended with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore and if you have not seen it yet.........don't bother. We were hoping for another 50 First Dates but it was a very poor relation to that.
If I backtrack a wee bit in the day, I had a wee panic to myself when I went to pay the rent into Veras Bank account. Her bank shut at 4pm (I got there at 4.05pm) and it was not going to be open today. EEK because the rent is due for 1st of the month and I didn't know how I was going to get that done. I raced home to check whether there were any branches open in Toronto on a Saturday, after emailing Vera to see whether she may have a local branch. Just as I located the one and only branch that was going to be open and checked my route there, Vera got back to me offering to pick up the cash and pay it into her ATM. Fab. Panic over. She even offered to give me a receipt, which I refused. I think a wee bit trust goes a long way-right. God love her, she actually sent me an email confirming that she had received Februarys rent, as proof for me. I wonder if she has perhaps had a problem in the past. I am the model tenant, me thinks.
Silly Bank. My bank is open till 7pm Fridays and 10-4pm on Saturdays. What is hers like!
The streets look very pretty with the snow and someone had even salted our sidewalk so we haven't had to shovel. There is a wee worry about a bit of a storm for tomorrow (not me) and I won't hold my breath.
Right, no more to add. Yesterday was a quick but quiet day made brighter by a wee skype session with my man.
Love to all,
Lxxxx
