ALL BY MYSELF.....FOR A MINUTE!

It always shocks me how quickly the days pass.  I thought I had posted a couple days ago and now here it is five days.  Grrrr...

Lets, see....we drove Peter to Victoria and helped him settle in a wee bit.  It was a wonderful trip down...so easy and pretty.  We made a couple of sugar cane run stops (shovel list) and coffee.  We did make a serious stop at Wendy's in Nanaimo.  Mmmmmm....so delicious!!!  Best fast food out there folks!

Peter's house is fantastic and in a fabulous area.  Its quaint and villagey and a bit olde Englishy.  His house is adorable!  I will put a pic below.  His room is obscenely tiny.  Which of course would suit me to a T!  The tinier the better.  You would not be able to swing a cat in there by its tail... not even a Manx who DOESN'T have a tail.  Apparently someone in the house with a bigger room maybe be leaving and he will talk to the landlord about taking that room.  In the mean time its an amazing homey place.  The kitchen is better decked out and supplied than mine and the living room has absolutely everything you could possibly want....music, tv, wifi etc...  There seem to be about five rooms rented to different people in the place.  I feel good about him being there.  He is near his sisters and Austin's brother Levi...whom he is very close to.

The last few days have been basically preparing to lose Graeme.  Ahhhh...Graeme, or Toonykoot Munchkin as I like to call him, much to his chagrin!  He is the most fun to tease and give shit to...I am so going to miss that.

Yesterday the Zed Hotel people came and picked him up and he is off for training in Victoria.  Its very very quiet around here.  But then I got a call from Austin.  He was in Cumberland (about two hours by car from here) on his bike of all things, and wondered if he could bike over here for the night on his way to Victoria.  I was so happy to hear from him!!

  He arrived last night around ten and we sat out on the deck around our fire bowl and didn't get to bed until 2am!  We are driving him to Duncan today.  We have been careful to distance but in the truck, as big as it is, we will have to be extra careful.  I am sitting in the back seat with Wrangler!  I can always wear a mask if need be.

So now I am making breakfast.  Hash browns, smokies and over easy eggs.  Gonna check out my camera battery, find some decent clothes to put on, wake up Monte and be on our way.  Yippiedoodle!!!!!  Stay safe peeps!  TTYL
