The weekend has just sped past and not much to show for it. I had two really good walks and my tricky knee is all the better for the exercise. Nice enough days - sunny yesterday and milder today so, no complaints.
Today I made a pot of soup to do me this week and a loaf in the bread machine. Both turned out well. More tennis on TV, one Canadian out but two more into the round of 16. A busy week coming up so it was good to have a couple of days of just pottering.
Finally found this wine at the LCBO yesterday - it's Spanish, look for it in the Southern European section. It was highly recommended and cheap but sold out quickly. So yesterday I took two bottles. It is very tasty if you like Merlot.

A chilly day and very strong winds this afternoon. The trees are bending fearsomely! But we now have some sun after flurries earlier in the day. Mother Nature just can't seem to decide if winter is over or not!
Not much on today but I did some banking in the morning then went to Pickleball. It wasn't very busy so I got to play lots. I was done by 1:30 and home for a nap. More tennis from Miami. The Canadian is still in the mix and played well this afternoon.
The fire is on but I can hear the wind whistling in the chimney. Hope it dies down overnight and I don't lose any shingles!
Probus meeting this morning and I managed to postpone breakfast until 9:30. The speaker today was `ho-hum` (how to deal with stress and depression) and I know any stress I experience is self-induced. I just have to say `no` to stressful work!
After the meeting we went to Boston Pizza for lunch. I had a chicken quesadilla. The Caesar salad was a bit insipid and I`m not sure there was much chicken in the quesadilla, but it was tasty and only $10. So what`s to complain about. Still stuffed so just soup for dinner again, my home made carrot and lentil.
Tonight I am watching a DVD, `Light Between Oceans`. I have read the book, a very moving and lyrical story, so I am sure I will enjoy the movie.
Pleasant weather for the first day of Spring - ice on the puddles this morning but sunny all day. I walked to and from the senior's centre but it was very quiet there as the winter classes are done and the Spring classes don't start for a couple of weeks. I didn't sell much coffee and only one meat pie!
I have been watching tennis from Miami today - early rounds - but a Canadian man did get through quite convincingly. We don't get to see many women's matches and were especially disappointed not to see a Canadian woman winning the tournament at Indian Wells last week.
Dance group this evening and for once I am not reluctant to go out in the evening as it will still be light. Better get on with dinner.
