It seems that Cadbury confectioners are recession proof and are forecasting a 2009 profit. Them and the fast food restaurants, I guess.
It's a change of routine this evening as we are heading out to the viewing this evening of my aunt who passed away last week. It's at the other end of town. L will miss one of her play performances and we'll have to see about K's homework obligations for tonight. M leaves for Italy tomorrow. I must be in the prime of my life as things are always so hectic around here. I always crave 'down time' and my own space. Actually, since yesterday, I've claimed the room where we keep the piano as no one ever plays piano anymore.
The weather's relatively mild today and brings thoughts of going back to daily walks. It was odd to see a maintenance truck parked on the local pond ice. Obviously it's still frozen. I even stopped by the local convenience store and had my favourite froster drink. The store manager said 'Long time no see...it's slushy time!'
L enjoyed her first play performance last night and proclaimed that it energizes her. She said she's quite visible on stage and has to show expression, she just doesn't say anything. But at audition, she did request a small part. She told me that a group of dancers missed their cue, to the dismay of the ones that didn't. One of last year's leads did not get a coveted role this year and actually declined the role she was given. Upon changing her mind, the role had been assigned to someone else and so she had to settle for a minor role this year. Good backstage gossip! The lead apparently has about 50 pages of lines to memorize.

Hi Christine,
Followed the link to high blood pressure and found it interesting. You seem to mention it quite often so wonder if you are a sufferer as I am.I've always had it and was in hospital quite a time when pregnant.Am stuck with medication for life. They use beta blockers here a lot I just take them and try to forget about it - although as I meet each target they move the goalposts ..
I find meditation helpful
LOL, that purse! I am NOT getting one. The lighter my load the better ;-)
Have a good weekend! Wishing you a few good hours of down time.
Wow! Italy! Dang! Well...I am going on vacation soon...to a beautiful place to see a great friend...so I WILL have a great time there. :)
Hope you have a good Friday!
Barbara, I'm on Diovan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (had to go look that up) and it seems to be under control. In pregnancy I always had low blood pressure, so it must be hereditary that I've now got high blood pressure. Glad you could use that article.
Japra, enjoy your opera, yes, I thought that handbag was wild. Thanks for the down time wishes, I shouldn't complain so much as it's a good life.
Paris, a vacation will be just what you need, have a good one.
