Tiles

These are the tiles in bathroom at hillside mall. 

That is all.

Saturday

We were the parents doing snack at orchestra today despite our dear daughter missing it at home in bed with a fever and a sore throat. The snack looked like this. 

Then we ran the super high heat commercial kind of dishwasher. Fast and takes no soap just really hot. 76 degrees Celsius. One tray at a time loaded outside the machine. The dishwasher looks like this. 

Later on, I was filming our very last scenes for our next movie and noticed somebody's yard sale advertising. 

It looked like this.

Rainy

We went to Costco and bought a kayak this evening. It started raining unexpectedly so Jeff got what rain protection he could find out of the back of the car. It was a lab coat and a shower cap.

Day trip to Pender

We went to Pender Island today for J's friend's 14th birthday party. We played disc golf then had a weinie roast on the beach. Superb weather for it. 

The sticks were really long. 

Then we looked at a cabin.

Blooming tree three days on

Now look at this tree!

It must be spring. 

Also, the chickens have started laying again. Four eggs yesterday, which is up from one or none each day for the past two months.

Weekend away near Sooke.

We rented a cabin out past Sooke this long weekend. Family day gave us Monday off. We went for a hike on the Juan de Fuca trail, in the rain, of course. Down to Mystic beach which is still beautiful in the rain. 

We made a colourful group with our raincoats on.

We only took apples for a snack but we sat and ate them on the beach.

An enjoyable thing about the cabin was the hot tub. I have decided that I would like to have a hot tub at my house. Wonder if that will happen anytime soon?

Edgar the Xtracycle

I went the store today after school drop off and crosswalk duty. We were out of fruit so not too much stuff and I would bring it back on my bike. 

Well.

There were a bunch of sales and I remembered other things we were out of. $ 300 later I am loading probably over 100 pounds of groceries on my bike. 

Edgar the Edgerunner (my bike) is the hero of the day!

Check it out. 

The bananas had to ride in my shoulder bag. 

And thanks to my low gearing I was able to ride up the hill in first. I don't know how easy it would have been to get off and push that heavy thing up the hill anyway.
