Still Dodgy Weather

    Yesterday was like Spring but today was cold, damp and miserable. Luckily there was nothing I wanted to do that required me to be outside for long.

   This morning my fitness class was cancelled and I also had to miss pickleball as I attended the annual meeting at the Seniors' Centre. It was long and rather tedious (every member of the executive giving an account of their duties and what they had achieved this year) but the actual election of the new executive went smoothly as they all agreed to stand for re-election and no opponents. Those of us in attendance were rewarded with rather a nice lunch so went home satisfied.

   I will only need leftovers tonight and will have a quiet evening watching a couple of my favourite TVO shows. Last night's TV was disturbed by a constantly repeated "Amber Alert" but I eventually figured out how to turn it off. Hope the child was found safely - nothing on the radio or in the newspaper about it today.

Getting things done

  I'm having a stuffed red pepper for dinner tonight - some leftover chicken, a cremini mushroom and some chopped tomatoes. The red pepper was a little past its most firm but still edible, so baking it seemed like a good idea.



   Worked my little butt off at the tennis club today but now the clubhouse (my responsibility) is spic and span and ready for opening day. I have yet to play outdoors this year but today would have been a perfect start if I hadn't been so busy. I did have some help and we were done by noon so not too stressful.

Huge Embarrasment

  I arrived at dance class last night in plenty of time, only to realize I had left my CD player at home! Luckily one of the dancers plays for our monthly dances so he kindly accompanied the first few dances on a rather out-of-tune piano. While the rest had their tea break (rather a lengthy one) I scurried home for my CD player so we had the last few dances with the proper music and Don got to dance as well. Other than that the evening went off quite well and we did manage 7 new (to some) dances.

   Today was cleanup day at the tennis club. Shiyan and I worked from 9:00 to 12:00 with a few other members dropping in for an hour or so. Things are beginning to look better in the lounge and the kitchen (especially the windows) but we will be back on Thursday to do the change rooms. After that I went to play Bridge but had awful cards and didn't play very well.

   We had very heavy rain this afternoon but now the sun is breaking through to dry things off. Tomorrow should be nicer.

Pressure!

  Busy morning - had to check what we needed to clean up the tennis clubhouse. We are having a cleaning blitz tomorrow - all hands to the pump and get rid of all the cobwebs, dust bunnies and (probably) ants and mice droppings. So, after hitting Dollarama and Walmart this afternoon,  I will be there bright and early tomorrow with the cleaning supplies and coffee!

   Tonight I have to teach the dances at Scottish Country dance group - not by choice, the teacher is away and I was coerced into taking his place. He left me music and instructions so it can't be that hard, can it?
