U2, Beer, Musings and Walking

A co-worker and FB friend recently went to Vegas to see U2. Inspired by this, I have dug around my iTunes library and sorted out a play list of all things Bono and Co. Interesting fact, Michael’s cousin Wendy lives fairly close the Edge. Mind you, everyone in Ireland knows each other, and lives next…

The Bank

I walked to the bank at lunch time. I relented and took the bus home this evening. Imagine, if I walked, I would not have had the great pleasure of sitting next to a baby who was having a great time pooping. Mom was encouraging the child. I was stuck against the window. There was…

Commuting

Monday through Wednesday, I’ve trudged along the streets of Edmonton to get myself home from work. Each day, sucking in the fumes of the passing cars and trucks, but not enough fumes to stop me from feeling smug and superior that I am relying on my own sticks to get me home. Haven’t been writing…

Yes I’ve Been Walking

… but busy in between times. Happy to report our walk today was down at Hawrelak Park, a nice change from the neighbourhood. We are always delighted with the quacking of the ducks. Sounds like they share a private joke. The geese population is flourishing, and obviously they like it here because I’m sure they…

Channelling Julia Child

Feeling a bit energetic today, I made Boeuf Bourguignon for dinner (as well as cupcakes), which is an all-day affair I tell you. I cooked. I baked. I cleaned. I cleaned again. Can’t wait for the hubster to get home and enjoy this feast I made for us. I am imbibing in some wine. The…

Radar Tower

Michael took this shot with his cell phone camera. Back on Vancouver Island, we climbed to the top of a small mountain, and this tower was our destination. Here’s the proof!

Sicko on the Move

After  a day on the couch, the bed, couch, bed, computer chair, couch, bed, couch, Michael took me on a single block walk this evening. Nice to get fresh air, but I still feel like shit.

Bah!

I’m putting up a temporary “closed” sign for this blog. I’ve come down with a bug, and just want to sleep. So off I go to wallow in self-pity.

Monday

A day in the clouds. Started with acupuncture, followed by a meditation, followed by reading a book, followed by making turkey stock, followed by a nap. Feel a bit zoned out. Regardless. Went for a walk with hubby through the ‘hood this evening, and now I’m just trying to stay awake for my volunteer shift…

Sunday in Edmonton

It’s grey and dusty here, and I’m a bit grumpy to be an Albertan. I’m mad at my new Time Machine because it’s not as intuitive as the other Apple pieces I own. Onto happier news, we went to Ikea (a 20 minute journey that probably cost $5.00 is gasoline) to buy a new $2.00…
