Lazy Day

Jan 7

This was to be a day of relative rest for John though not for Janice. For the first time since he had left Canada he woke up at nearly 9am. He felt good that he wasn't facing another drive of hundreds of kilometres even thogh he had enjoyed every one in the days gone by.

In fact, John spent the entire day creating videos for posting on the blog and then uploading a few. His dongle only has 1 Gigabyte of data and each video uses up 60 Megabytes or more. So he may have to buy more data so as to upload them all.

The day was another beautiful one. The sky was completely and utterly blue and the temperature was in the mid to high twenties with no humidity at all.

Janice spent her day working on her gardens both front and back, installing new outdoor taps, pulling out large bushes, working on the fence, and conditioning the soil for alternate use. Since she had been away for four months in Queensland prior to getting home in mid December there was a lot to be done. When she was finished, however, she had a place for a herb garden and the small backyard looked very organized and attractive. John commented that she was a really hard worker. He had helped a little in pulling out some of the roots of the bushes and so he had a small inkling of the work that she had done.

Despite her hard work, Janice insisted on cooking dinner. She created a dinner out of rice and meat balls, made of minced pork, fresh garlic, onion and a prepared Indian sauce. By then it was past 9pm and john helped put a few dishes in the dishwasher.

It had been a lazy day for John - needless to say he didn't take any video - but he was still tired enough to call it quite early and left me to do the blog.
