Morning splash-- pygmy mouse ty It is totally freezing again this morning but I am not going near the outside today. Yesterday even had Kevin bundling up and putting on the toque with the face mask. I had a hood on my jacket but it did little good withe wind and I really could walk in the slushy stuff on the ground. A walker is useless in that stuff and no way could I run or hurry so my fingers and face got the flash freeze getting into the store, Took me almost a half hour to warm up,but did get all the shopping done that I needed and then we came home and had to navigate the parking lot. Good son that Kevin is he brought over his fancy mop and bucket and washed all my floors then vaccumed too. I am staying intoday as it is still extreme cold outside. Did watch the olympic most of yesterday afternoon and will turn it on here soon again. If you can get the real cherry juice--drink it and it really helps with gout. Have a good day

Hello Ed, TY for the Mallard. Yes I do sit under a verandah. At the back where I sit is a large covered space the size of 2 big rooms. Lucky me. One day I will send you a photo of it. Perhaps when Lynne finally gets here I will ask her to take a photo of me sitting at the outside table with my lap top. I had a lovely afternoon meeting a new neighbour. I was putting out a bin and she was working on her nature strip. I waved and she waved back. Then I decided to go up and introduce myself. She is very chatty and it turns out she is a newly retired teacher and school principal. So I imagine that we we will have lots of chats. My street has only 10 houses in it. Some are holiday homes. There is only 1 house where I have not met the residents and I think that they are full time here. I never see them outside. Re. The Mighty Quinn I don't think that I have a photo of myself wearing it. However, Lynne's sister responded to my post saying that she remembers me wearing it. We did get some heavy rain this afternoon but not the electrical storms I was hoping for. Enjoy your new day.

Hello Ed, TY for the Raccoon. The band was Mannfred Mann (1968) If have posted the clip on my f/b page.

Hello ED, TY for the mouse. I don't think that I actually had a duffle coat. I know I wanted one. What I do remember is buying a coat somewhat like and eskimo coat complete with a fake fur trimmed hood. I called it the Mighty Quinn after the song. "Come on without, Come on within. You aint seen anything like the mighty Quinn." I loved that coat and wore it for years. I will have to look up the band that sang that song.

Hello ED, re. the dream. How would you feel in real life if you did get that message? You don't have to answer me and I think that I can guess your answer any any. It is trying hard to rain here. Tomorrow the Guttering people are delivering the new gutters and they will instrall them on Tuesday. I haven't as yet heard from Lynne as to her arrival. Enjoy your new day.

Raccoon hunting!

Morning splash-- It is clear and cold at -20 this morning and I have to go out in it,but I guess bundle up and carry on. I used to get gout too only when it hit it was my whole body9Knees,feet,finger and I think even my head as it hurt so dreadfully--I have to take a pills every day for the rest of my life but so far no more episodes of gout. Of course the worst thing for it is beer and now I don't even have any around.  I did watch some of the opening cerimonies but they go on for so long and it is confusing with some of the things so--only interested in the lighting the flame--but even that got drawn out. will watch what I can but we have weird timings of things. Ther is golf on though--The BMW Have a good day and hopefully a snooze!!

Hello Ed, I really have to think about that dream you had. However, I now need to go to bed. Hugs.
