How dare you put your winter gear away before the May long weekend.

Sorry

They've only been moved to the wardrobe instead of the coat/shoe cupboard and the orthotics removed.

It was blinking cold again this morning - c'mon enough with the cold wind Bbbrbr

I officially hate Alberta now - the novelty has well and truly worn off - I HATE the bloody winters here! Just got back from BC last week where everything was green and lush and the Crocus and Daffodils were out - Cherry blossom on the tree's. Sigh..

Came back here to brown, brown, more brown - then WHITE again!! WTF

Now if I could just talk the OH into moving lol

Hello sweetie dahling been hibernating for most of the winter, of course - where else?

Came out a couple of weeks ago to take a drive out to Vancouver which was very nice. It was so much fun to drive through the Mountains on roads with bends in them instead of boring straight ones. Oh and back in Feb I was whisked away for Valentines day to Lake Louise by the OH, bless him. Other than that I stayed under me rock

That's where I've been - how about you? What have you been up to?
