Rain is threatened, so painting.
If no rain, then gardening.
I took the Friday off, thinking I'd have some peace and quiet. The kids are off too.....hurumph!

Re: Victoria Day weekend
It's our first Victoria Day too! We are going to the Victoria Highland Games...well being Scots it wouldn't seem right not attending! It is apparently the 150th anniversary too. Gotta be better than Tartan Day in Victoria earlier in the Spring. The Caledonia society put on a display of their country dancing. It was nice but it shows that the average age is 68! They had a competition for Scottish dog breeds. I nearly burst out laughing when I saw a Chihuahua being introduced as a Scottish Chihuahua...just because it was dressed in a tartan jacket! I am eagerly awaiting the dog show at the Highland Games!
I'll take my Cairn Terrier!

Drinking, Golfing and I am going to take a bash at the Citizenship Application form in an attempt to further cradlefy myself.

Re: Victoria Day weekend
I'm recuperating (quite nicely thank you) from eye surgery to replace the lens in my right eye with some rather expensive bit of plastlc.
