It is 2:00 pm and it doesn't look much different, just more snow. The snowfall warnings for this part of the province remains in place. I told Pat I would like to find a corner where I can't see outside and watch movies, knit and leave this snowy world at least temporarily. I have a problem, no movies, no tv and the book I had put on my laptop to listen to has disappeared. I am resigned to painting and I hate painting, although there are some light fixtures that need some bits fixed. That will be a change. I could be in Borden right now with water lapping at my doorstep so enough whining!
We had a long but satisfying day yesterday. A little day trip to Winnipeg. The main focus was to check out Ikea kitchens. We did that and were satisfied with what we saw. We also picked up some bathroom hardware and two cupboard units for Zachary. I managed to walk out of there with only a couple of non essential, but at least consumable items. Believe it or not we rounded out our journey with time in Home Depot and Costco. We were in big box/outlet stores hell or nirvana depending on your slant. It was very interesting to drive into a new place and observe the amount of resources, (land, buildings, roads) devoted to the acquisition of material goods. We left at 8:00am and arrived back at TO at 11:00 just as it was starting to snow.
I had to laugh at your last comment about getting "back to TO at 11:00am. I just figured out that for you, TO means Twin Oaks! You did a post on April 20th where you talk about "getting back to TO on the 4th or 5th". I thought you had been to Toronto for Pat's work or something!! (And wondered why you didn't look up Melissa?) TO means Toronto for us!
