Brrrrr, it’s cold this morning...52*F (10*C) but the sun is shining so it will warm up. I slept in this morning and Val actually got up before me. I went and got some propane for the BBQ and two new small bottles for the stove. It cost me 50 pesos for the propane (a 5 lbs tank) and 140 pesos for the two bottles; can’t figure out their pricing here. Val played bocce balls in the afternoon and I abstained. Afterwards, she showed Elaine and Charlotte more Tai-Chi. It only got to 68*F today (19*C). HH then dinner, ending the evening with the tube.
Sunny but we have a cold wind from the North-East! It never got up above 69*F all day! The excitement today was a guy from another Park who came in with a utility trailer and proceeded to cut hair for dogs in the Park. Ken and Elaine had their two dogs done, then Sandy’s and finally Gene’s. He had the back open and we could see him working. He was well equipped and everyone was impressed with the job he did. He finally got out of there by 4 pm. We had a short HH then retired inside for dinner and a quiet evening.
Another quiet day! I got energetic and washed all the windows...couldn’t see out anymore J! We drove to the outdoor market and I bought two packages of Cdn bacon then we went for breakfast across the road. We came back to town and stopped at Calimax and went to explore another grocery store we heard about then came home and put everything away. We visited neighbours and I had a lengthy snooze in the afternoon. For dinner, we had Rudiger and Charlotte as guest. We owe them a few dinners! Val prepared a Greek salad, a bean dish and I BBQ’ed pork chops. We sat around until 9 pm chatting and drinking wine.
Very strong and cold winds this morning but sunny! We are definitely being affected by the cold ridge north of us. It was haircut day for a few of us today. Kiki’s sister came out to the Camp and cut hair for Frank and Linda, Val and I. Val was cut too short and she is not pleased about it but what can you do. We watched some recording on our DVR and some football of course. HH was at Frank today then we had dinner and relaxed.
BRRRRR! Down to 45*F this morning, hopefully the sun will warm us up a bit although the forecast is for only 68*F today. Val was up early for her walk; got to be dedicated to do this in this cold and wind! Afterwards we went to get the laundry done but a quarter of the way there, I remembered that I hadn’t turn off the water filling the tank so drove back, turned off the water and drove on to the Laundromat. Afterwards, we went to the Vet to get Tucker checked out as he’s been hacking and coughing for the last three days. For some reason, he was very aggressive and I had a hard time putting a muzzle on him but finally succeeded. The Vet didn’t want to touch him until that was done. Anyway, he told us that he had an enlarged heart and murmur in his heart and he gave him some pills to settle it down and make him feel better. We finally got home at 3:30 pm...It is still very cold and windy; I almost wish I had my parka!!! Charlotte came over and invited us over to their house for HH.
