3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.
Yesterday morning was so bright and sunny that I thought I would take my coffee out into the garden and look for buds on the trees. I didn't find any but I did enjoy the stroll and sunshine so much that I decided to take a chair outside and read a book.
Bearing in mind that, when I got out of bed, it was -7 and feeling like -13, you may think me bonkers to be sitting out in sub-zero temps. But on our little sheltered deck, it almost felt like a July Edinburgh day. Admittedly, when the wind picked up occasionally it was a bit goosebumpish but otherwise it was nice and I even stripped down to a couple of vests and capri joggers. Fresh air nd sunshine-yippee. I even have a wee tan-line, now.
My head has been swirling with ideas lately and I wanted to have some time off from them and so I put myself on White Chestnut for the day, with good effect. I may repeat the process today to see if some answers don't appear from the silence.
Jen joined me outside for a wee while but the wind had picked up a bit more by then and so she didn't stay out too long. She and I went out to see a house that is a bit closer to Alisons school and we liked the neighbourhood although Jen didn't like the outside of the house. I will give them a call today to see whether I can go see the inside.
Along the street from it was a Second-cup-yippeeee. Further up that street was a Tim Hortons and down the street was a No Frills. What more can a girl ask for? Actually, we also found a self-storage place which will be perfect for the summer and that had just been part of a converstion I'd had with Bill yesterday.
All in all a great (almost two hour) walk. We managed to find the house that I couldn't find before but we didn't like it's location so we've scored that one off our list.
Whilst I am finding the prospect of buying a new home quite exciting, the girls are not. I can understand their love for our home in Mountcastle because I also love it. Moving forward won't mean that we lose what we had in our home there, though. You bring the home with you and just change the house that you put it in. Difficult to understand when it means leaving the first home that you really remember, I suppose.
Alison was straight out after her dinner, to another friends for school film-work and was lucky when one friend offered to pick her up at the station. They also brought her home again which meant she had time to relax in front of an episode of Charmed, before heading to bed.
If we buy a house, we will also be buying a car-good news for Alison.
Jen and I snuggled (yes the blankets are still being used although I have nudged down the thermometer a couple of degrees) and watched a cute and funny rom com called 'When in Rome'
My plan to watch less tv here just never happened, did it?
My tulips are into Day 9 and are looking as lovely as ever. Good buy, Jen.
That's a wrap for Thursday.
