I've just been to lunch in the mess, and its a beautiful day! Now I'm stuck back in the office, no windows, just the computer screens to look at, I just don't want to be here!

I'd rather be on the canals listning to a Gardner diesel quietly putting away to its self, looking out over green open countryside, just watching the world go by, looking forward to mooring up at a quiet canalside pub, and enjoying a pint and a bite to eat.

What would you like to do on a day like today?

Wassail!! Chris

beautiful day here in Southern New Brunswick (Canada)

and yes, like you Chris I'm stuck here at work.

Much rather be driving up along the shores of the Saint John River, stopping to take some photographs along the way.

Now ... *sigh* .... I must get back to the grind.

I'm at a laptop working on liner notes and back and forth with the fellow doing graphics. Joy.

I went fishing with Beer last year. He caught a piece of tree bark and I caught a cold. All in all, however, I'd rather be fishing.



I'm Gonna Miss Her sung by Brad Paisley

Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
But today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
Right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yea I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite, Alright

Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might,catch today

So I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yea I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there,Another bite

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Fishing, isn't that a fancy word for waiting?

Now, if i were going to be doing nothing outside, I'd be on an oceanfront beach. West coast, of course, they have the waves.

Maybe a pineapple seller will wander by...

"Fishing, isn't that a fancy word for waiting?"

It is for me. Thus, I bring a grenade or two . . .

Time to garden. The roses need pruning, the dead leaves from the lilies need to go. Cardinals are singing, and somewhere somebody is getting a new roof, judging from the sound of hammers.

Ah, life is sweet sometimes.

I have 12 birdhouse to fix then it is off to the woods for my dog's (and mine) exercise. I have to admit though that I have been eying the river behind the house and can hardly wait for the water to warm up a bit so I can catch my supper.

Sat outside today in the warm sun with our 3 cats (and a few from next door!) Cats rolling about revelling in the heat, me sipping tea and husband kindly weeding the border. Blackbird singing its heart out on the apple tree. Bliss!

I don't live far from a lovely sandy beach and a few hundred yards walk takes mee there and I can walk my wee dog and play in the sand for as long as i want. On days like this that can be a while.

I'm still burned out from spending this past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (nice days all) out in the sun. For today, I'm staying inside, nice day or not.

Beer, I looked at that river behind your house, when I visited you, and thought. That looks like a nice place to fish ;-)
Wish I could join you there again.

What I would really like to do right now would be to go into the countryside, find a lovely country pub have some nice food, feed some ducks and swans and just chill out. The reality is a trip to the dentist later today!

Well John, I don't think you would like to go fishing today. It's snowing. But the sap is running and I had some great maple syrup for breakfast.
