MAY 1, 2009, Friday, Sooke BC
Not much to report today! We did go visit Val’s uncle Russ at the home he’s in then we came home. At 6 p.m., we went to the Legion for a steak and bake potatoes dinner which was quite good. Another of Val’s cousin joined us. Came home and watched TV
MAY 2, Saturday, Sooke
Late morning, it is drizzling outside. The wind picked up in the afternoon. George and I went to the farm where he has a contract to clean up and we change a flat on the back-hoe (small tire, thank god). A friend of the family visited and for a while tan Val and Gladys went to visit Russ.
We had a sirloin roast for dinner with all the trimming.
MAY 3, Sunday, Sooke
A quiet day at home. Val & Gladys went to visit uncle Russ and I gave a hand to George fixing the motor leg on his boat. For lunch we had freshly caught that day crab. We cooked them over the outside fire pit. His nephew and wife were there to enjoy it too.
It was sunny in the early part of the day but then became cloudy and quite cold. We all went inside and watched the hockey game and had left-overs for dinner.
MAY 4, Monday, Shopping
We went to Langford, about 10 minutes from here, to shop at Costco and a few other stores. We had lunch at TIM HORTON and had chili, a bun and coffee. They make one of the best chili. After shopping we came home and I dropped Val at her uncle’s place. Gladys and Val took him to the eye specialist as he had an appointment.
At 6 p.m. we went to one of the cousin’s place for dinner and their daughter’s birthday. We had delicious ribs, cooked just perfect. Came home around 9:30 and called it a night.
Val got a call from her friend and it looks like she has work for 4-6 weeks this summer.
Rain most of the day!
MAY 5, Tuesday, more shopping
Val and Gladys went shopping together(Oh Ohhhh) and I spent the day with George going to Metchosin, a suburb of Victoria, where we visited friends of his then went out for lunch at this very nice and neat restaurant where the cater to local farmers; there’s even a table reserved for them daily at lunch time. From there we went back to RONA where I returned an item I had purchased but wasn’t working then we drove to the Ford dealership where I bought a cap for my brake cylinder reservoir which I had lost a while back.
For dinner we had fresh Halibut fish caught yesterday…delicious!
Rained most of the day and very windy!
MAY 6, Wednesday, truck repair
I took the truck in to the garage first thing in the morning. Hopefully, they will be able to fix it once and for all. Val and Gladys went out again and I stayed home and worked on the insurance papers.
Rain and more rain, windy too!
