Day 160...........over in the blink of an eye.

Day 160...........over in the blink of an eye.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

Well, let me see, is there actually anything to report on from yesterday?
Alison got on really well with her Drama sketch-lots of laughter I am told. She was laying the part of a soap-sniffing addict and so I gave her one of my really 'nice' bars of soap to use as her prop. Problem seemed to be with the fact she had to sniff it for five minutes and ended up with a bit of a sore nose. Oh deary me. It's my last bar of my Wild Olive stuff so I will have to eek it out till summer. If you love soap and candles, check out the Wild Olive website-wonderful stuff.
Ali has taken to getting on the bus going in the opposite direction to school, in the morning. She goes one stop, into the station and then the bus turns around to go down to her school. Smart cookie-better than standing in the cold but she did have one grumpy bus driver tell her that she wasn't supposed to do that. Why?
Jen took a long time to get going yesterday, she probably should just have had a duvet-day but she forced herself downstairs to lie on the sofa. She and I do have a great time doing nothing.
Seriously, I don't have a lot to report. I did chat via FB with Bill and that's always great but it didn't take up a whole lot of time. 'Pondering' in silence, seems to be my best daily activity and I giggle as I write this because I realise how bonkers some of you must find me. But that's okay. I am like the little acorn who is waiting for the Spring to jump up and become a very large presence.
I didn't step outdoors yesterday but, today being Friday, we'll be off to Pizza Pizza for dinner. We are supposed to have snow today but the sky is blue and it's only -7, although the wind-chill is -16.
I have just thought that, if I look back through my years blogs, I will have a pretty good record of the weather-lol.
Anyhoo,
I am going to wind up with a piece of Canadian trivia.
Did you know that the price you see on stuff in the stores is not the price you will pay at the till? They add tax after you take it to cashier so you have to try to work out how much it actually is in yer heid. Each province sets its own Provincial Sales tax but they all add Government sales tax. so you pay GST and PST which in Ontario is 5% and 8% making a total of 13% HST (Harmonised sales tax) If you go to the Yukon, you only have to pay 5% GST and no PST. If you go to Quebec it;s nearly 10% for PST so nearly 15% HST. Mmmm-to freeze with less tax or to speak French and pay more, that is a question.
Okay dokay.
Much love to all,
