I’m alone over most of Christmas due to our schedule this year. Rob and I are working basically opposite shifts, and will see little of each other, which means when I’m home I’m on my own, and the same for him. It’s kinda sad … but I’m trying not to be swallowed up by pitty and instead find good things. I’ll spend Christmas with YOU through my blog instead!

Here’s a little update of the last little while. The weather is non-snowy, and grey. Grey grey grey. No sunbeams to lie in. Just grey. Here’s some examples:

both were taken in the middle of the day. not at night, or twilight, as they appear!

We did have a brief burst of sunshine today. It allowed me to update you on the river freeze up. There is about a 3 inch strip still open …

Neat, isn’t it?

Here’s a picture of the Eaton Centre when I was there the other day.

It is not a place for the agorophobic! BUT I stayed and bought jeans, a shirt, another shirt and only required one resuscitation with eggnog latte to make it through! Had a lovely visit with dear friends, and then off to Wpg for a family Christmas, which was great too.

Now we’re back, and just trying to get over our work slog over Christmas before enjoying more family here over new years!! Yay!!!

Also, I found a yarn shop:

50% alpaca 50% wool. Oh boy. My needles are twitching to get into it!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve …
