Is this or Is this not worthy of comment?

I'm having one of those days when either things are a chore or couldn't really be bothered. That's a great word: bothered - I believe it is abused heavily in someplaces in England.

So, I thought to myself. let's just drop everything - pour a wee glass of wine and rant for a little while. Well I can't be bothered. Really what is going on - don't even have a rant in me. Okay then maybe let's start some where other than rants. Praises and roses - so Saltspring.

Okay one more try.... It's Lent again folks and its such a happy time for Catholics. I am excepted to help out at a St. Pat's dinner at the Church and they are not providing a bar. What is this all about? Goodness me we're virtually Irish (There is actually a town named Neale in Ireland) so let's get on with things. You're supposed to stubble out of such events and not go home and actually recall every conversation you've had. Most of them are obviously going to be mundane regardless. I'll probably be able to say the Rosary before retiring rather than falling into my customary coma.

So what really am I going on about? Let's try a couple of more topics. It's now six months since I left the island. It's almost 4 years since we left England - I soooo want to go back. There's very little Canadian in me but Alan, of course, has become a fully convincing version of one.

The weather is great - about time. Oh! just heard it's going to be "rainy and windy" tonight. Who are those people? Imagine being called "windy". Mind you there was a chap we picked up when he was hitchiking and he may have been "windy". We don't pickup hitchikers now - question of possible staining of the seats.

Oh! I have a rant. How does $243.00 for a British Passport renewal sound? I think Tony Blair should be realiise we don't all make the same money as his wife. Also he should change his name to Thatcher. He has recently started to look like her without the drag. It would be interesting if we found out that he and Brown were having an affair...... ooh dear I'm now not feeling very well.

So there's not really anything to comment on

Well no pics today ..... oh hang on just one
Had to throw a drink in!

Cheers

Sunrise on Saltspring 29 Dec 2006

Sunrise on Saltspring 29 Dec 2006
one very rare morning

Noose around the neck and morning rises

So they did it. Terrified an entire nation killed the bad guy and taught a world how to hate. Well done my fellow North Americans.

However on a brighter side the show yesterday morning created by nature was inspiring. The camera shot below isn't the best but it gives the essence of the event.

It's Saturday afternoon and Alan's out trimming our rather pathetic fruit trees - I believe I'm suppose to join him but I am holding out with excuses of laundry and a dodgy back.

Celebrated Dale's birthday yesterday - Richard does know how to offer up the meat selection but it was all rather tasty. Night before last we were honourable Edmontonians (Alberta). I believe you have to go to cackle school to actually be a full member. The night succumb to schmoosiness when the hens decided on booking tickets for Il Divo. Now if you have n't caught these guys please check out this site:

I would actually like to be one of them but they say I am unable to carry a tune ( smallish hand bag issues) I didn't really think that was a problem - I think they just don't want balding guys in the band. It's so petty.

Always,
