It has been an overwhelmingly busy week! I am almost thankful it is over. (Hate wishing my life away).

During the drive home I noticed that we have swapped seasons. The leaves are coming out, and my windscreen (windshield for non brits) is now splattered with bugs, and this year they seem to have put some weight on! Sometimes when you drive by a lake you go through a cloud of bugs and it sounds like rain as this miriad of bugs hit the windscreen... eeeehhh

There are many seasons in Canada; Winter followed by roadworks, Spring followed by river flood. It seems there are two windscreen seasons; Winter frost scraping season and summer bug gut scraping season! On that graphic image I will leave you.

Thursday saw a successful Annual General Meeting for thePMI of New Brunswick. The evening went better than I planned. We have been organizing this for the last month and it was a great success.  

I took friday off and we drove down (or across) toSaint John and browsed the shopping centre. We got to ride the escalators in New Brunswick Square Shopping Centre!(such a thrill  Gemma was right we are much more easily pleased than before) . We don't have any escalators in Fredericton

Friday afternoon we drove to the Chickadee Lodge where Christine is having a yardsale because they are moving to Calgary Alberta. Julie and Gemma picked out 11 DVD's to add to our library. I decided the whole family should go  fishing this year and picked up three fishing rods with reels. Julie picked out a Chinese dinner set of rice bowels, spoons, and serving dishes, a rug, dressing gown and fleece blanket. Total for the lot $60!  (I am not sure that Julie is convinced about fishing)

On the drive home Hawkeyed Jules spotted our first Porcupine siting ever. She has been spotting all the wildlife this year. I knew the Green Planet Dvd series was educational and Jules (Hawkeye) Whelbourn is living proof. Did you know that Porcupine's live in trees?  Also they eat sheds!
