breakfast fritata
wouldn’t some of Digger’s chili sauce
be a delightful addition?
got a wild hair last night
decided
seeing as I’d not planned in advance
and missed the bus
that I’d hop a ferry
and go to the Vancouver International Motorcycle Show
just as a surprise
to some friends working there
and in keeping with
my decision
to be nice to myself this year
so I check the ferry schedule
7AM it is
then I check the price…
gak!
it’s now $13.75 for a person
and $45.75 for my little fuel economy car
to get on the ferry one way…
that’s 59.50 one way!!!
talk about being held hostage?
this of course means
that every trip
I plan to take in the future
I must budget
an additional $120.00
for travel
sheesh
My cousin Judy
emigrated to Newfoundland
a year ago
just like I did to BC
15 years ago
and we’ve been
emailing
coast to coast
her neighbours
are kind and loving people
and recently
the senior male member
of the family
passed away
his daughter
because she knew how much Jud
meant to her dad
gave her father’s claddagh ring
to Jud
nice gesture eh?
I sent along some info
about the history of the claddagh
that I happen to have
cos I’d sent the blister one
years ago
for her birthday
the blister
to the best of my knowledge
has never worn the ring
in spite of our heritage
or the fact that I really love her
and that’s the whole point eh?
someday someone will buy me one
cos it needs to come
from someone you love
but I’m patient for an old woman
and I can wait LoL
I was surprised to come in here today
and discover
not one
but 2 comments from friends
to be moderated…
wow…
I’d gotten used to the idea
that I’ve pissed enough people off
what with my need
to hold people accountable
in my life…and
my conviction to same
and of course
moving the blog
anyway…I was convinced
that no one was reading anymore
and that I was in here by myself
surprise!
LoL
it’s never been my intent
to piss people off
mostly I write
for me
and if others read it
their opinion
while very much welcome
has little or nothing to do
with what or how I write…
and very likely
won’t likely change the tone
but you knew that already eh?
for some reason
I’ve started this year off
being pretty nostalgic
my family has been emailing
scanned pictures of us all
from years gone by
places
and people
I’ve put all the pictures online
in a flickr album
but so far have had to keep em private
cos some members of my family
have privacy issues
maybe I’ll be able to share
one or two here eventually tho
I’ve also re-engaged with
Coronation Street
the serial I learned to love
at the knee of my Grandmother
and my Aunt Norma
more years ago
thank I care to think
and also likely prompted
by a friend giving me
a copy of
50 years of Corrie
for xmas
yesterday
I went to the grocery store
and amoung other purchases
bought dish washer soap.
I’ve used Calgon
dishwasher cleaner for years
that I purchased at the store next door…
but the store next door is closed
and the big grocery store
doesn’t carry Calgon…
so I sniffed until I found
the least offensive fragrance
and purchased something called “Finish”
(also the cheapest there)
In the middle of the night
I had to get up
and put the box of Finish
in a bag on my deck
cos the smell kept waking me up
(I get fragrance triggered headaches and was on my way)
Imagine?
Enough fragrance to wake me up?
blech!
I’ve been trying
to hook my tv
to my computer
without having to completely
re-arrange my whole house
to do so
last Saturday
I went to The Source
to purchase a 25 ft
S-Video cable with audio
the kid in there
told me it wasn’t possible
that they don’t make them that long
cos the integrity of the audio
and video
would be at risk
so I texted
the blister
who is after all
a professional audio technician
and she tells me
the kid is wrong
so I’m off today to find
another place to purchase
I’d really like to move out of this building
but the prices
and the rules around purchase
in this province
is prohibitive
so I’ll stay were it’s cheap
and complain a lot ok?
and finally
here’s the thing
that is really worrying me
today…
the peepers
have started to hurt again
it’s not even been a year
and it’s back
so I don’t know what will happen now….
Have you heard the new
Elton John and Leon Russell album?
it’s called The Union
I quite like it
but in keeping with my nostolgic streak
here’s Leon….
