The town I grew up in
I"m just about ready to leave the town I grew up in once again to make that journey back to Victoria BC. Mum still lives here...she's flea jumped to a few houses and condos since I've grown up and away and right now it's a lovely two bed townhouse up for sale....220,000 she's hoping to get for it. Anyhoo...it's a lovely day in May and the Dogwoods are all in bloom. In mum's backyard we see many a bobbing robin staking out his territory and the cherry tree heavy with pink explosions of blossoms. Oh dear...now the floor has just been sprayed and swiffered (lookieloos coming to day with real estate agent) and I am asked to wait until the floor dries to move. So here I sit. I don't relish this floor cleaner smell ....ick. Laundry is slowly churning away in the dryer and we are going out for pizza soon. I'd rather smell pizza than floor cleaner. Silly thing to say really...I mean who wouldn't? Anyway....almost off to home. I miss my birds terribly and hope they survived my four day absence. I leave their cage doors open so they have free flight with appropriate perch spots covered with newspaper ofcourse and I've set up Sophies bridge-stairway back to her cage if she falls (she can't fly you see..she only falls and bounces)so I hope she is especially okay. For mum's sake I hope her home sells...but I will miss her being so close. She will move to Calgary if it does sell..to be closer to her boyfriend. I can understand the problems of long distance relationships for sure. Anyway...not much to say at the moment...just using time whilst I wait for the floor to dry. Listened to poprad podcast once again and laughed. Those two British men are so funny ..one who hosts and one who is the guest that is. You can find it attached to Eric Wiltshers blog and/or Leigh Banks. Have a listen if you want some jolly fun!! Any ways...seems like it's drier now so off I go..lunch and pizza soon!!!! Have a great Friday!
