It has been a year since I moved into this apartment, I don't know where all that time went.
A lot has change, new furniture, some not new but new to me, happy with it all so that is all that matters. Met up with old friends and have met a lot of new ones, things could not be better.
As I have noted before, I left the man I lived with, however, we still go out for a "date", which is all I want to do with him at the present time. Not expecting it to change any time soon. As I cannot drive at the present time, he took me to visit my sister yesterday. I had a great afternoon visit with her.
When we came to Canada I was 12 years old and my sister "B" was 10 years old. Being a couple years older than her I remember a lot more things than she does. While drinking our coffee and having a snack she asked me about the house we lived in in England, the only thing she could remember was going into the door. which led to the kitchen. I was able to tell her all that I knew, which was quite a lot really. The layout of furniture for the kitchen, living room/dining room. Stairs going up to the three bedrooms, the airing cupboard. Outside where the loo was in the garden/storage shed, the gooseberry. red and black current bushes. Where we would go pick primroses, and gather blackberries. It was a really nice afternoon reliving our childhood, lots of laughs.
We left quite late in the afternoon, but managed to get to the inter city baseball game that we had been to many times before. A hot dog, nacho chips with cheese and a drink while we watched the innings slip by. We shared a container of ice cream for dessert, then put on our sweaters as it was cooling down somewhat during the sixth inning. Our team was not doing very well, and it did not appear that the rest of the game was going to improve for them. At the end of the eighth inning it had become considerably cooler, so we decided to leave. Turned the heater on in the car to take the damp chill off our bones.
I had a good day.
Not much happening today, it is Labour day here, most people are not working, however, have heard some stores are open. This evening here in the apartment building is Trivia night I will be going just to see how much I don't know. It's always a nice couple of hours.
Tomorrow my eldest granddaughter is coming over for aa visit. Busy on Wednesday, at my quilt meeting.
Have a great day
Cheers
Summer may be virtually over (re: today's soggy weather) but there's still plenty of the year left. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have been asking that myself, where on earth did the year go? It sounds like you have had a busy but a good year settling in. How lovely you visited your sister. A nice visit for sure and ending up at a game too. It must have been fun for your sister to listen to what you remembered. I remember a lot of the house we moved to from Smethwick when I was five years old. We lived in the next one until I was 15. In the house in Smethwick all I can remember is the covered long entry way between the two houses, and my dad bringing our new puppy into the back garden. That’s about it. Thank you for sharing your lovely time. Have a great weekend.
