Well it has been pretty chilly here the last few days. Night time temperatures down to about -14c and high's of 0c to 4c Brrrr. 

.

Because of the cold we have the lit the woodstove and watching the logs burn has made us all feel in the Christmas mood. In an annoying way I searched out and put on some christmas CD's. Not content with listening to the groans I generally drove everyone mad singing Slade "it's CHRISTMAS" song. I love that song well I do now but I expect to hate it  about 10 days from now.

Dr Z gave me some more of her needle work this morning and again I promptly fell asleep after she told me to relax. I am sure she looked disappointed when the buzzer went in and she came in to tell me to relax again and I smiled (ouch that hurt)  But I could barely open my eyes. As she snoozed me for another 10 minutes.

I had my pre-christmas haircut today at Clippermans barber. Pete Clipperman is the fastest barber I have ever come across (or my hair is taking less time to cut). I asked for a grade 4 on back and sides and I will swear it was like watching a sheep shearing competition. Pete was a blur of action and huge chunks of hair fell away. Voila I was done in about 5 minutes and total cost $8.50 so I passed a $10 bill and in unusual gesture of generosity told him to keep the change. It must have been the christmas CD's!

.

Tomorrow I drive to Moncton (one of the other two cities in NB) to give a presentation. This will be the first since returning to work, so fingers crossed I will not look too much like Mad-eyed moody or sound like Popeye. Especially with my new military style short back and shoulderblades.

Thursday is going to be an earthy first for us. Our house is not on city sewerage and on thursday someone if coming to empty our septic (cost about $200). I cannot imagine how you pick up girls if you are a skilled septic tank emptier.

"Hi my name is Glenn and I am a solid and slightly solid waste removal operative".

Nope doesn/t cut it for me, you ladies will have to let me know how it works for you.

.

I will let you know how Moncton plays out, and the Septic Emptying Episode probably in not to much detail .
