SRS: congrats on free lance! Not to mention things growing in the garden. Hard to imagine from our viewing point!
Linn: on the imac!

Yesterday I figured out how to get pics from my new phone to my computer. That was nice but I might need to write it down. Or take more pics and do it a few more times.

We were late getting to the country for my meeting but R was almost on time - actually ten minutes late might mean on time these days. So I dropped him off and went to my writers' group and started writing something rather interesting - stream of consciousness. I hope I can get back to it and bring it to a conclusion.

Then I went to the other meeting, re a budding coop nursery on the land at the mill. My concept of meetings is qualitatively different from ---anyone's!? It dragged on and Ken repeated himself and I totally lost patience. I believe it was partly due to the environment in that building. Perhaps the frustration, often sublimated, of not understanding what anyone is saying- even the woman sitting next to me. I insisted that more needs to be done by email so we can each see what others want/think/ etc.

Getting to the cold mill, we turned the heat up. Fortunately, someone had had cheese and muffins and tea for us at the meeting; that was our supper as I was shot. I was also distraught but R assured me that I had not behaved badly; he tells me when I do! So I read a bit, then gave out, having crawled into bed, after making it and putting a foot warmer in.

We woke up to a white world and more than a foot of snow. R thought he could drive my car out. I knew it would not work. Had nice French toast for brekkie, with local maple syrup, stewed apples, and raspberry yogurt. Then he got the snow blower and cleared enough to get the car to the road. Now he is warming up so he can finish the blowing. We still need to go back to the city and I want to get back down for 7:30 music at the cafe. That is almost a turn around trip????

Still tired, still coughing but less each day.
