Catching Some D's

   Gorgeous day today, up to 20C and sunny but now it is getting dark so we might get some rain. Tennis this morning was fun - I had three good sets and spent some time sitting in the sun and chatting before leaving around 11:00 a.m. We had quite a crowd but not too much of a wait between sets.

   Yesterday's social at Don Mills was quite special! We didn't get much tennis as it was so busy, but the pot luck lunch was spectacular with foods from all sorts of ethnic groups. I contributed sausage rolls but there were noodles and dumplings, samosas, chili, and several other dishes I didn't even get to try as I was too full. The desserts were scrumptious and there was unlimited coffee. I had to take a long nap after I got home!

   This afternoon I cut both the front and back lawns as they were really in need of a cut. The lawnmower has had a good workout this Spring, mainly due to all the rain. In between I made some soup for lunches this week. Now I am quite happy to sit on the couch and relax for the rest of the evening.

Fickle Weather

   Chilly today and I have had the heat back on. I would have lit the fire too but the gas is turned off for the summer. Right now I am sitting with a rug over my knees!

   I walked up to the mall this morning in my winter jacket and really needed another sweater too. I dodged a bullet as the rain (quite heavy) started about 10 minutes after I got home. Tomorrow is the Victoria Day holiday and I am keeping my fingers crossed for nicer weather as I want to go to the tennis social at Don Mills. Lunch will be served regardless of the weather but it is much nicer if the sun is shining and we can actually get on the courts. Stay tuned!

   This afternoon I had the urge to do some baking so whipped up a couple of dozen sugar cookies. They will go in the freezer for snacks. Too tempting if they are left on the counter!

A New Book and a Tasty Dinner

Nothing much to write about today. It was sunny but cool. I did some gardening this afternoon then sat in the sun for a while. It was about 14C so I was still well wrapped up but the sun felt warm on my face.

   I started a new book yesterday - "The Woman in Cabin 10" by Ruth Ware. It has been on the best sellers list for several weeks and I think I will like it. It's from the library so I have to finish it before I leave for my trip. 

   Just laundry and shopping this morning but I managed to spend $40 at the grocery store. My freezer needed to be restocked and there were several good deals in the meat department. Tonight I am having pork tenderloin slices marinated in soy sauce and lemon juice and I will have them souvlaki style wrapped in a pita.  Yum!!

A Couple of Chores

   Much cooler today, in fact it was downright cold on the tennis court this morning as there was a strong north wind. There was a surprisingly good turnout and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Not much sun until later in the afternoon and it has gone again. It only got up to 17C today.

   I finished and printed the handout for next week's RTO AGM this afternoon - I got a chance to try out the copy function on my new printer, as I wanted the document double-sided, and it worked well. Tomorrow I will take the handout to Staples to get 100 copies printed. I will be glad to see the back of it!

   I also made the final deposit for the dance group and now have to try to balance the books! It looks like we have more money in the bank than expected which is always good, but doesn't reflect well on my book keeping skills. No chance of me losing the job though as no one else wants to do it!

   I have lost the ability to load photos again - very frustrating, but will put them on Facebook.
