Yesterday was really nice. Gorgeous weather and we spent the afternoon at the beach...Val and Samantha joined us with their children and all in all it was a great day...we finally got home at 7pm!!!!!! After a dinner of chicken salad and wedges, we went outside and sat out there all evening by the fire....sucha nice evening after a fun day of swimming and playing and chatting at the lake!
Today is completely different. It is grey and drizzly and miserable outside and I am feeling worse and worse - felt a bit achey this morning but I feel so much worse now.....all my joints hurt, I am so cold and have ear ache....I feel all flu-ey.
I am not sure if I have a cold or something coming or if I picked something up in the lake water yesterday, but I don't feel good.
The miserable weather meant we changed our minds about the parade today - there was no way the girls could walk wearing leotards and little skirts. We decided to go to the big yard sale in town that they hold annually at the big garden centre. It was useless though and we were only there 20 minutes - I bought 1 book and a magna doodle and that was it - spent $1.50!!!!
W stopped off at Chapters and had a coffee in Starbucks but I was starting to feel so bad that we grabbed a few things in Safeway and then headed home.
Now, despite the drizzle and greyness outside, Lloyd has taken the 4 youngest down into the woods at the end of the road to chop down trees and bring them back up - he's stocking the wood pile ready for winter so it has time to dry out before the snow falls....
I am going to soak in the bath and hope that helps me feel better. Apart from that, I am not sure what our plans are - Lloyd is making his wonderful butter chicken for dinner tonight and we will probably put the fire on and curl up with a good movie.....
Val, it was so great to see you all yesterday - I really enjoy spending time with your wonderful family and it was nice to have Kayla there to swim with me :)
I hope I didn't give you any germs there!!! I have no idea whats wrong with me but I hope you are all feeling ok!
Oh and other sad news - I think the Hummingbirds have left on their journey South :( they haven't been around the last couple of days :( how depressing!
