On Monday, the builders will start work in my mouldy bathroom. Things will be chaotic and expensive for a while.

Next week is the midterm school holiday (“March break”), so half the town will be focussed on finding ways to occupy the time and attention of their children. Late-winter trips to sub-tropical places are popular with folks who can afford them. I am always amazed at the ever-increasing number of people who seem to believe that international vacation travel is anything but an insane luxury … Oopsy, I seem to be slipping into rant mode.

Gotta take my vitamins and go to the gym. It’s snowing again. Sigh.
