November 12th and still warming. We hit 9C today, but the wind was brutal. 45-75km/hr. Mr. Oakley could pass for the dog in the Never Ending Story. His ears were flapping. I thought the ind would pick him up a few times.
SHMBO called. She had a few hours between appointments, would I come to town to look for a new Christmas tree. We searched high and low. Nothing cheaper than $400. Yup the prices are bad. We have a strike on both ends of the country. This means no containers are arriving or being unloaded, so not much Christmas stock around. She decided she would set up both trees she has and see how she can selvage one. The other one will go to The Golfer. That was my day out. It was nice to see her though. I mean I haven’t seen her for two whole days.
She visited The Grad at work. The grad did not like that. She got rude and snotty. It hurt SWMBO feelings. The Grad takes her work seriously and doesn’t want us to go shopping there when she is working. It reminds me of some books I read where a gal had psyscofrenia (sp). The town gave her an old navy uniform and had her direct traffic around the town monument at noon time. She wouldn’t talk to anyone as “she was working and everything has to be regulation. Taken from the Mitford Series written by Jan Karon. I think that’s how The Grad feels. Also, her granddad worked for the same company just a different division. I think she wants him to be proud of her.
I made stuffing balls this morning. Now resting in the freezer to add to meals. I also made beef vegetable soup. It all smells so good. Am looking forward to this freezer meals. Tomorrow I need to make a salad.
