A paragraph should be like a lady's skirt: long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to keep it interesting.
Today's quote comes from a web-page of English proverbs. This one was new to me but I loved it. Seeing as I have little to report today this paragraph will be so short as to be virtually obscene.
Calgary's fabled Chinooks have yet to make an appearance since the snow first fell. I was reliably informed that every week or so the Blackfoot Snow-Eater would come and clear the roads and paths, but we are still sliding around. That prediction that this would be the coldest winter in 15 years in holding true. That said, today it would be no blessing as Vic has trekked off to Sunshine Village near Banff to go skiing with Marg and her sons. It'll be good to spend a last bit of time with some new friends before they disappear, good to go with someone a little more gung-ho than myself on the piste (although my confidence grows with steady steps) and good to just be out there enjoying herself. I get to spend the day watching grade 10s (15-16 years old) doing a trigonometry test and then tonight marking it. Oh, to be a Lady of Leisure...

Mmm...soothing Robs wilting ego??......ok so Darren and I are regularly reading the blog, but I'm afraid writing interesting things that anyone can read, is not a natural talent of ours so we're happily reading and not doing much writing - hope that's ok!
Glad Vicky's enjoying being a lady of leisure - sounds like a good life to me!
Take care

Of course that's ok Claire. Tnaks for reading, glad you enjoy. Be well. R
I'm Dog who's David? I regularly comment if mostly indirectly to the Blog. I dont care if anyone else reads my diatribe its a reasonable way of keeping in touch and so much easier than writing long letters.Have sent two out of three xmas presents, these are the surprise stocking fillers, the Pigs have been delayed at the Chritian Aid end of things.
You can also tell that we are blogging novices since I was unable to sign in and had to write anonymously - oh to understand technology! It doesnt help that my computer insists on using german but I've just about understood that "hinterlassen Sie Ihren Kommentar" is "comment here" but error messages and signing in is a little more tricky! I'll have mastered it just as you leave to come home no doubt.
Love to V.
