Just back from a wonderful and exhausting weekend in the great south (ha ha, st catharine's that is). I picked Joe up in Toronto and then we went to st kitts saturday for his not-so-little sister's stag and doe that night. It was fantastic, and totally exhausting. The turn out was great and the crowd was super fun - Joe's family and buddies are wonderful.
I'm sorta getting used to the GTA highways, but not quite - they wear me out. Got in around 8pm tonight and went straight to the backyard. Yard and garden work really is so therapeutic eh? I just love it. I am so happy puttering around our place, I see how people get obsessed with their homes. I don't want to spend all of my time 'working' around the house, but wow I really dig it (specially the garden ;). I'll post some pics soon of the garden - its really starting to going for it. Although I almost fell over when I saw how big Joe's sister's cucumber plant is! Man.
So! A big hi to whoever's reading - hope you had a gooooood weekend too.
Oh, and I'm reading a great book right now, Dogs at the Perimeter by Madeleine Thien. Its not the easiest read (set partly in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge era). Her style is beautiful - I find it elegant and captivating and also...almost ghostly or something. Anyway - if anyone needs some good summer reading, I'd recommend that book and her first book too, Certainty. Thanks to my friend Lucile for the introduction!
