It's cold and sunny and it snowed, so I just did a bit of shovelling. My neighbours on both sides shovelled our sidewalk! A few weeks ago, I was complaining that one of them wouldn't even do her own.
My girlfriend wanted to go for a long walk, but I decided it was too cold and I have a bit of review work to do with K. It turns out that one of the boys K is working with on that new Science project has lego parts that can build a crane, so they're all set (major relief).
Well, what do you know, the price of stamps is going up by 2c to 54c. So I guess it wasn't such a bad idea purchasing those permanent stamps in bulk the other day!
I watched a great TV show last night, I think it was on FoodTV, but this couple was camping in the English countryside and living completely off the land. So they were fishing, then they found wild mushrooms, bartered them at a store for eggs and other supplies and made a delicious meal of eggs and mushrooms at their camp. Then to get their meat fix, they shot wild pidgeons and went rabbit hunting at night on somebody's farm. Apparently rabbits have overrun the country, so it's quite ethical to eat them. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the name of the show. It's all good in theory, but it would be tough for most of us to have to really live that way.
A major grocery chain will start charging 5c for plastic bags, starting tomorrow. I think that's a good thing, it will force me to use my reusable bags.
Have a great week everyone.

Christine, there are bunnies everywhere here. I love to keep an eye out for them while I am on the train.
I can't wait to see the next Science project!
Awww... Christine you have a good week as well!
Yikes 5c for a bag! All I bring back home from the grocery store is bags!
Glad K is on the way to finish the science project.
Too bad about the snow you had to shovel. But it IS so pretty when it first falls down isn't it?
*BIBI*
Japra, I'm glad I don't have to eat them like on that show.
Bibi, the first snow IS pretty, and I think we're having some more tonight just in time for the morning rush!
