I sure would've been ticked if the world had ended today. I had to work so therefore had not time to do anything illicit, illegal, or otherwise unusual. So, here in good ole Ontario, no plagues of locusts, no earthquakes - nada. Worst thing that happened is that my dog barfed up a dandelion...

As some of you know, our daughter will be moving to London in a few weeks. She has been really looking and looking for accommodation but it is VERY difficult to find something affordable in a suitable area. She found a couple which seemed really great. Expensive - but what isn't in London...

What a huge job, but the ugly bush was dug out yesterday and the 2 trees (why on earth they put them where they did) are dug out now also. The beds are now ready for roses and lots of them. In front of the whole house will be roses and where my steps to the front entrance are, there will be...
