FEB 6, Friday; another
fast week
This
was not a pleasant day mainly due to a combination of lousy weather, feeling
depressed over the accident yesterday and a lack of sleep last night. I had more driving to do today. First I loaded the bin of aluminum to the
recycling in Langley. Then I stopped in Abbotsford to move the scaffolding then
onwards to Surrey to pick up a retractable screen that needed to be cut down in
length. From here, I went to Langley,
dropped off the full bin and got an empty one then to METRIE to pick up doors. Back at the shop I unloaded everything and put
it away, locked up the storage then signed off and came home (3:30pm). Val worked today and she is still not home so
she must be working longer hours. We had
fish and chips for dinner then relaxed watching the tube
FEB 7, Saturday; TGI 3
days WEEK-END
I
slept somewhat good last night although I had a few disturbing dreams. I was up at 6:30 and did my usual routine:
internet, e-mail, finances. As I was
drying the dishes I was looking outside and could see the whole valley then
slowly, a mist rose from the valley floor and slowly enveloped the whole valley
and soon, the houses on the hill in front of our view. It was breathtaking and awesome; never seen
anything like this before. It really was
fascinating!
I
gave notice to our landlords for the first of April when we will move back into
our “Beaver” and park it in a local campground for the summer. The rain seems to have subsided for the time
being but the sky is still threatening.
Val
filled out the form for her passport renewal and will be mailing it Monday.
FEB 8, Sunday;
A
lazy day at home and a sunny one to boot, finally! Val went for a walk on the trail by the
Vedder River. Dinner and tube for the
evening
FEB 9, Monday; Family Day
Holiday
Got
word from our landlords this morning that the person coming to see the
apartment has cancelled but we have a new one coming at 7 pm on Wednesday. We went into town to drop off Val’s Passport
at the Federal building. We stopped at
the Mall to buy a new ladle since I broke our old one. We stopped at a new pub in town and had lunch
then came home and I had a short one hour snooze while Val relaxed. Val ran out of some of her meds and she is
feeling it; hopefully, it will be here tomorrow.
FEB 10, Tuesday; to work
for a 4 day week!
A
busy but successful day in that we completed our task without any hitch. At the end of the day, upon my return to the
office, I found our meds had arrived but also a parcel from brother Gaetan and
his wife Josette from Quebec; 12 boxes of chocolate cookies “Ti-Coq”, my
favorites and only available back East, unfortunately. I gave Kevin two to take to Rochelle and he
only gave her one! J As
a joke of course! Anyway, a quiet
evening at home and to bed early
FEB 11, Wednesday;
Disaster at work
The
big excitement this morning at work was the theft of the delivery truck! Kevin got a call at 7 this morning that the
police found the truck near the Vedder Canal and that it was burned. Him and I went there to see what we could
salvage and took some pictures. The cab
and the front of the box was totally destroyed by fire. As a matter of fact, it was still smoldering when
we got there. They had broken in the
rear box and took all the tools. The
glass was broken, of course, and we could only salvage a couple of small items.
Joe and I made a list of all the items we had inside including my new rain jacket! Needless to say, we couldn’t finish our job
from yesterday so we went to help Todd installing large windows at a private
house. What a day!
I
have posted a couple pictures on our Facebook!
