Deep Winter

We are in the throes of winter here in winterpeg. Spending a fair amount of time indoors, dreaming of summer gardens and camping. Oh camping.

Crunching in fresh snow still has allure and I should get involved in some winter sports.


I go on the occasional outing in the car, but not so many winter sports!

At least I can watch them on tv! The twenty-ten games start tomorrow!

Sled Day

We went for a little walk at the forks and Mya loved riding in the sled! She especially liked going fast and bumping into things. The weather has been unseasonably warm, so it was the perfect day for a winter walk at the Forks. Surprisingly there was not too many people out and about for such lovely weather. A few couples ice skating, a group of men playing hockey on the river and a some teenagers mulling about. My twenty-ten olympic mittens held up really well. Oh and Zellers has them back in stock! If you missed out before Christmas now is your chance!

A Birthday Party!

I was invited to someone`s first birthday party! I got a microphone that plays music and a soft brown bear to give as a present. I especially like the bear because it has extra long arms for cuddling.

Lazy Saturday

I went out for a lazy saturday shopping day with my Mother. The result - a pink pair of ballet flats with some ruffles at the toe, a Twenty Ten France calendar and some Starbucks. The polar bear sugar cookie was so good in addition to being incredibly cute, but I cant say that I would get another vivanno in a hurry. There were magazines with my name on them!

A Summer Flashback

Ah memories. Memories of taking the bus all over. Some of the seats suspiciously didn't recline. The smell coming from the bathroom. There were some positives of course, the people on the bus were very kind. One man gave me a drink, another very fashionable girl gave me her magazine to read and a myriad of people were willing to make some nice chit chat and also leave me in peace when it came time to take a nap or find something to read. Another plus was texting TWN. My hardwon tips for taking the bus over a long distance are: 1. bring a cold drink or two (one to give away to someone), it can get unbearably hot on the bus and a cold drink is very refreshing. 2. Sit in front of the toilet. For some reason the seats there never failed to recline (which makes sleeping so much easier) The smell isn't too bad and it is the same as being in the middle anyway. 3. Make sure your carry on bag is smaller, you can bring several small carry on bags, but the large ones don't fit overhead and you will have the bag uncomfortably on your lap. 4. When in the uk sit on the left side of the bus, so you can see the signs to know where you are. 5. Never, ever, ever shut the emergency exits if the bus driver has opened them for ventilation. Not even if it is raining. Cutting off access to cool, fresh air - why would anyone ever do such a thing?
