Stormy Saturday!

      
Yayyeeeeee for Stormy Saturdays!   

       The clouds racing across the London skies, as the windows shake and shiver in their panes, means that I have nothing better to do than read, make blueberry pancakes for the sleepy heads sprawled around this flat, and… maybe… just maybe… get this blog up and running! Maybe… not committing to anything just yet!

          
      There are a few people/incidents I need to thank for finally motivating me to getting this thing started:      
         First of all, I would like to thank everyone who persistently nagged me over the holidays, giving me the extra bit of encouragement I needed to give this blogging thing a try!

       Secondly, I would like to thank Dad’s dirty old pick up truck, whose engine saw fit to sputter and die on our way to the movies one rainy night a few weeks ago, leaving us stranded on the side of the highway with no cell phones. (Why would either of us bring cell phones to a movie? Sigh…)
       As Dad braved the rain to walk to the nearest café and beg to use their telephone services, I was forced into the weather by something much less glamorous: the cup of coffee I consumed an hour previous, and my weak bladde 
      Where to relieve myself that would not be seen by cars on the highway? Into the rain I went, over the fence of the Craig Heritage Museum, and through the sopping grass in my entirely insufficient Keds sneakers.
      Eventually I chose a dark spot against the side of the building, still in sight of the highway, but shadowed enough that I hoped I would go unnoticed as I dropped my drawers and squatted in relief.
      Unfortunately, I underestimated the power of modern technology. Namely, motion detectors… and flood lights… which promptly lit up my lily white fanny for all the passing drivers to see….

      Sigh… Just another hilarious day in my life…. Which was when I realized… If this is what happens to me on a rainy night in boring Parksville, what kinds of muddles will I get myself in next week!? (yes, next week!!! :D)
         Keep posted to find out! ;)


Oooo… is that sunshine that I see poking through the clouds?? Maybe today is not the day of the blog after all! Off to the park for me!
