Another Dump of Snow

   We had heavy wet snow for most of the morning - I had hoped it wouldn't lie but, no such luck! It has stayed above freezing all day but overcast and very dreich.  I am praying Spring will show up soon.

   I got some chores done today as there was nothing on the agenda - laundry, shopping, and chasing dust bunnies under my bed, a much needed cleanup.  I found two $20 bills under my dresser so it really does pay to keep things tidy! Salmon, peas and hash browns for dinner. I went to Burger King again for my breakfast and saved some of the hash browns for dinner.

   Just a quiet evening at home - hope there's something decent on TV.

  

Lunch Out

   It managed to get up to 6C today but still too cool to sit outside for long. Lots of sunny skies and not much wind so things are looking up, weatherwise.

   Last Friday fitness class as I am not signed up for the Spring and Summer sessions. I am on the waiting list for the Wednesday class but, come May, I will be playing tennis at Don Mills on Fridays. I am on the hunt for more monitors to fill the courts on Tuesdays and Fridays as I had another person bow out of the team. Very unfortunate for the remaining five of us! Hope some other members come on board.

   I was out with the "Ladies Who Lunch" today - 16 of the ladies from the  fitness classes. We went to "Rosemary and Thyme" at Van Horne Plaza. My first visit but I was a bit disappointed. I don't think I will be joining them there again. There are too many other and better places to go for lunch and it wasn't particularly cheap. My French onion soup and tuna wrap (which was actually chicken) came in just below $20. I should have sent the wrap back but I had already taken a bite of it. Only up side - I brought home half of the wrap, improved it and had it for dinner. Now I'm stuffed so that should cut down on late night nibbling!

Praying for Spring

    Paid off my upcoming holiday today so am now in the poor house! But I'm sure it will be well worth it. Unfortunately,  it was in US funds and the exchange rate wasn't in my favour.

    Still wintery today but the sun was out. I sat outside for a while this afternoon but it was still quite chilly. And the sun felt good on my face, the only part of me exposed.  The snow is almost gone, without any shovelling I'm happy to say, and there are daffodils and tulips coming out on the south side of the house, just about an inch of shoots so far.

   I was Queen of the Mahjong Board today! There were only three of us but I had three wins, more than either of the others. Bridge was cancelled (two players down) so I filled in at the kitchen for a couple of hours before heading home at 2:00. It was quite busy even though most of the classes are finished until April. It will be a quiet couple of weeks.

Windy and Snowy

    Quite the blizzard out there right now so I am glad to be inside where it's nice and warm. Not too much fell overnight but it has hardly stopped all day. -10C this morning and only up to -7C earlier.

   I managed to get to tennis this morning, the roads were a bit slippery but had been salted. The ploughs will be out if we get 5cms. of snow but we're not there yet. One of our foursome didn't show up for tennis - too much snow where she was, seemingly (tongue in cheek). She is closer to the lake than the rest of us so it probably was snowier there.

   A lazy afternoon - I went for a nap at 1:30 and didn't get up until 4:00 but I was reading for some of that. Hope I can sleep tonight. I think my sleep schedule is out of whack with the time change. It doesn't usually affect me like that.

   I have a pot of cabbage soup on the boil right now in acknowledgement of St. Patrick's Day. I have been eating cabbage at almost every meal for a week now and there's still some cabbage left. It was humungous. Chicken legs will go in the oven shortly so that will be a healthy meal.
