Patrick

Patrick came today and how lovely to have him around.
Some people have a calming effect and he has it. He says he will NOT spend another winter in Winnipeg the one they have still on-going is too cruel. His fingers go numb as the cold affects them and there's always the wind. He's done nothing else but plow the snow away from his driveway only to have it come back with the wind. The stacks on the edge of the driveway are too high for the snow plow to blow over it so he has to lift it with the snow shovel. His arms ache with muscle tiredness.


I would love if he came to live on the mainland but he wants to go to the island. I showed him a picture of a small house with five acres priced very cheap and only fifteen minutes from Mission but of course I don't know where exactly it is so there's probably a downer somewhere.


His plane was a bit late but we're lucky it isn't in the U.S. or Canada's east which is having another wallop of storms and snow.


We had a turkey dinner here and now he's gone over to visit Brenda. Hope he has a good rest because he's very tired. He couldn't sleep last night and got up early to come, then there's two hours difference in our time slots.
