The Drop In Centre 3

[Page Scrawler]

Well! Almost immediately after I fired off the new chapter, I added another one, which I had already loaded into the chamber. Seems it got approved in record time. So, I now have TWO new chapters available!

I've never minded the cold weather.  It's icy rain that's the worst.  I'll take snow over freezing rain any day. Also its not cold unless this happens: 

 

Yeah, I'm not buying that. Some of us are old enough to remember how much you've professed to hate having to wear shoes and/or socks in the past.

Snow is fun.

Until it's not. 🥶

Today in Canada is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation 

It is a time to recognize and commemorate the intergenerational harm that residential schools caused to Indigenous families and communities, and to honour those who have been affected by this injustice.

Because it was lovely and very warm yesterday, Michael took us out for dinner. Today i am cooking, roast butternut squash, cabbage and our stuffed peppers along with a nice pork tenderloin.  Smelling nice in here. Hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday.

Not since yesterday. But with weather like that, it's likely the internet and or power is out. Hopefully, they are all okay.

Hi, we are alive and kicking, thank you. We live on the n side which is v well protected.  Still, it was two days of solid rain, red alert, shops and schools closed etc.  It was 11 months to the day since last year’s tragic floods, so many people were v nervous.

The evil pupsters do not care for rain….. 😱

Yes, its 60f/16c here atm. But by Monday we are supposed to have a high of 82F/27c.  I hope the weather guys have change of mind before that!   ~ wonders how much it would cost to knit himself a cashmere sweater~     

Mmm, no after a quick peek at some nice cashmere that is 50% new and 50% recycled the cost would be about $300.00.  So, not a project for me at this time.

At university in London, (KCL) I was taught almost entirely by women. They were the first real wave of amazing female teachers who broke through the glass ceiling.  Terrifying, challenging, amazingly supportive, they taught me how to think and how to write.  I was so lucky and privileged.

I buy one in a different colour every couple of years in the sales! I never pay full price for clothes.   
Tomorrow I’ve been invited, with others, back to our old school where we taught/worked.  I must cut a dash!

i don't buy clothes, Michael buys my clothes. But i've never asked for such a thing. i don't even know what one feels like. He certainly doesn't wear them. He doesn't wear sweaters of any kind at all. When i say my Husband is hot, it's because he literally is Hot. He spends his non-at-work life in sleeveless shirts and shorts year round. i will be freezing and in layers and blankets but not Michael. He does dress nicely for work and when we're out but He is a furnace on legs.

I put on a sweatshirt today for the first time since last winter when we had a week or two of 50 degree days. The only reason I wore one today was because I went to the indoor pool to do some water exercise and it was 53°F when I left. I figured being damp from the pool would be a bit brisk when I was done. I have a few windows open in the house now and it is somewhat cool at 62. I draw the line at socks though..... I'm waiting for the toes to turn blue before I cover them up lol. 

Have a good day!

 Good Morning, Fellow Travellers!  Today is Friday and also on this Friday it is World Smile Day. So, share some of those with your friends, neighbours and passersby!  

Have a good one, folks.
