Catherine and I just finished putting together about 10 boxes of books to donate to the Childrens Hospital book sale (on now at the St. Vital Shopping Centre). We had to drop them off at the Salsbury House restaurant, which was very convenient because it was lunch time...an they have this great red velvet cake there.......Anyhow, that takes care of around 1/2 of our books, some of which were dusty, old university texts, but most of which were Catherine's fiction books what she didn't want to part with but......there were just too many! Its a beautiful day, about 25 deg c and sunny. Last night we had a terrific thunderstorm, a real window rattler! It woke me up and since my blood sugar was low, I got up and ate something....switched on the TV and there was a cruise ship limping into port. Seems it was on the way back to NYC from a Bhamas cruise when it got hit by a ROGUE wave. It inundated portholes on the 10th deck! Now I am kinda glad we opted for the inside cabin! I went back to bed and pulled the covers over my head. nyuknyuk
Well, since it is so nice out, I will take the beagle out for a walk and then rake some leaves in the backyard.
So...later and PEACE. Love from the Vatican Conclave where the vote for Pope is in a dead heat between some Ratsenberger guy and Father Ted Crilly of Craggy Island. My money is on Father Ted!
Books, books, books.
