From the land of the Bluenose.....didn't know what to do with myself. With only 15 days left till I fly to warmer weather I'm just too hyper. Tore throught the housework , 7 games of Scrabble on the ICS site (won 5 and got blown away twice)and sorted some stamps but it didn't help. So in the pouring rain, which will no doubt freeze tonight I headed for a dig at a local park to try and wear myself out.
Sum glad youz had the boots on as the infield was a swimming pool and the outfield a quagmire.

Of course I looked on the bright side on this hazy day......had the place to myself along with being continuously sarinaded by the local flying wildlife. Man there was some pile of bluejays and crows around!
After sloshing around on the outfield for a while hit some of the trails around the lake and hammered out a couple of toastie tokens in the process getting totally soaked when digging under a tree a good glob of melting snow was deposited down my backside. This caused me to retreat to the field where it was relatively safer.
Thought of me late bud the Bardman who would be proud as a peacock at the gridding of the field. Easy when you can see where youz been and where youz at and where youz going to!

Time for getting soaked...I mean digging was coming to an end as I had to pick Marie up at work. Driving home I did something that I very rarely do...picked up a hitch hiker as he looked very familar and the rain was really coming down. Through conversation I found out how I knew the bouy.......in my former career had sent him to the big house for b&e. Bouy had straightened up and changed since those days and we ended up having a good laugh about it. Next time I'll drive by!
Take for the day was a Nova Scotia pin, two toasty tokens and 34 coins @$2.69
