Yesterday we headed to the pool again for a swim - after our swim we spent a while in the indoor playground - well, Abigail did! I sat outside for a while enjoying a London Fog and then went in and joined her and watched Sam in there playing with his friends.
In the evening Laurence started his new gymnastics class - he was the only boy in the entire gym club all evening!! I think he liked it ;) His classmates were really nice and all so welcoming and I think they all flirted with him through the entire class lol! They all liked his British accent and were trying to get his phone number by bribing him with British candy hahahaha!
We are in the midst of a Spring/ winter storm right now - last night we had to drive home in it at it's worst!! It was TERRIFYING. In town it wasn't so bad - the roads were fine and it was more like rain, but the closer we got to home, the roads turned to ice, the high winds (up to 90km an hour) were blowing heavy snow and we were driving blind on the icy snow covered roads....there are no street lights out on the highway and we couldn't use main beams because it made it worse. Rear wheel drive cars were spinning all over the place and didn't seem to know where the lanes on the highway were which made OUR drive even more dangerous as we were dodging dangerous drivers. Everyone was crawling along!
Even though we were driving sooooo slowly, because we couldn't tell where we were (it was awful) we couldn't tell where to slow down for our turning (even after living here so long omg) and when we finally saw our turning we couldn't stop and the car kept sliding.....we missed our turning and kept going along the highway - which meant we had to go to the next turning and stay on the nasty highway and then try and find our way back from there...blind in high winds and blowing snow. It was NOT fun - I was so glad to finally make it into our driveway and be home safe.
This morning it is still very windy and they forecast 70km an hour winds most of the day. It has stopped snowing which is a shame as we really need a LOT of snow right now - or rain!! Lloyd has asked me to stay home today - he doesn't want me out on those icy slippery roads - and after last nights dangerous and frightening experience, I can't say I mind at all. Sorry about breakfast Val!! Last night was a little too much for me ;)
