Day 194..........beautiful tulips from Jen.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases,

Yesterday, it really did feel like Spring had sprung and Jen came home from a 'babysitting-job'-meeting, with a bunch of tulips for me. Beautiful, both the tulips and my daughter :-)

The snow is gaining speed with its puddle-making and you need to be very observant when walking along the sidewalk because of the splashes from speedy vehicles. Alison and I just about got soaked by a passing school bus, on her way to work but luckily there was room to jump into the side. YUK. But soon it will all be gone. Jen was singing 'drip, drip, drop. little April showers' whilst watching the snow melting from our garage roof. Name the film it's from?
Andrew had a day off yesterday and we chatted a bit via text. Bill and I had just been saying that our son would be into his shorts soon, when Andrew messaged me and mentioned that he had his shorts on-lol. I think that it may have something to do with the fact that he's played rugby since he was six. He doesn't seem to feel the cold and arrived here on Sunday in a t-shirt. From great Scottish blood, me thinks and he would definitely have survived life in a kilt.
Jen had a big long walk home from her app't, in the sunshine and it took me a bit of effort to get myself out the door. My bum seems to be glued to the sofa these days.
I finally left the house to chum Ali along to work and then I went for a wee wander around the local streets (stepping in a few puddles as I went) enjoying the sunshine. The houses are so beautiful in this area and they are all different so I never get tired of looking at them. Sometimes I walk past one that I have walked past dozens of times and see something completely unnoticed before. OOPS, perhaps I am not as mindful as I would like to think.
Living in Toronto has meant more pizza than living in Edinburgh and I'm not sure why. Yes, it's cheaper to buy it as a take-away but it also tastes better, even out of the freezer/oven
We girls were craving pizza yesterday and so we raided the freezer and had a lovely pizza dinner to 'The Wedding Planner' Did you know that it was made in 2001? Ali was only two when it was made and anyone who watches Greys Anatomy will giggle at the role that 'Alex Karev' plays in the movie. He's a wee skinny Italian dude and is fab at it. Giggle Giggle.
I did stop to buy some vino at the wine store whilst on my walk and I enjoyed a couple of glasses (first since Sat' for those who are curious) after the movie.
I have never been someone to drink wine with a meal. I much prefer it all by itself but I did open some mixed nuts to have with it, after the movie.
My old boss, when I was a nanny here, owned a nut company and still does and so we picked up some Trophy nuts, so that I could remenisce. He used to bring home bagloads at Christmas-time. No wonder I was needing to go to the gym six times/week to maintain my weight-tee hee.
Okay dokay-that's a wrap for Wednesday. Tulips and sunshine.
Much Love,
Lxxx
