I'm off to Windsor in a little while. I'll hit the road when I have cleared the litterbox and eaten something with lots of calories. Probably fried eggs; I have bacon fat!

The boot of the car is full of books due to move on to a younger generation: Harry Potter, Susan Cooper's "Dark is Rising", the Narnia series, "Watership Down", and sundry others that have retained their covers and all their pages despite heavy use back in the day. That's a bit of welcome clearance in the library, and if the niblings can't use them I'm sure they know families that can.

The Ministry of Transport claims to have cleared all provincial roads between Stratford and Windsor, and the Stratford plow crews were probably working around the clock -- Glendon Road looks recently groomed and we're not high on the priority list. So it's time to get cracking on the annual holiday tour of the relatives.

See youse all on the flip side!
