Spring on the way to work...

Downtown at the corner of Baker and Ward looking west

you know its spring when the crowds are eating outside...at breakfast...hey , maybe it is summer!

Looking down Baker street from Emil's office

My ride across the ferry yesterday

Cinco de Mayo, Happy Birthday Annette,HAppy Birthday Dick, Happy Anniversary Lynn and Bob!

Turned out a very pleasant afternoon,as everyone gathered on the back balcony for snacks and a drink before dinner.

Looks like a serious discussion going on between Rick and Dick..

And then we brought out the cake for Dick. That is a party umbrella on the side of the cake...

Anne kept on singing the British tunes after the traditional Happy Birthday song

Gordo and Janice, making fun with their own personal party umbrellas. This was just before Gord and Anne and Dick led us in group song ...well, led us into Rugby songs...and Gord knew quite a few..then there was the swearing song that Janice sang so fast, she sounded like an auctioneer! All in all, it was a grand Par-Tay with loads of food and lots of laughs. After dinner there was a few rounds of bocce to work off dinner...until everyone began to freeze up. When the old sun went down, it was mighty cold.

However today made up for the whole of last week...nothing but sunshine all day. I got to work in my garden for some 6 or 7 hours... and now my sweet-peas are all in, my lettuce is in, and so is my spinach and onion sets... A big deal for me to get so much done in my poor neglected garden. Now I am so stiff and sore, that I must get horizontal, or I'll be crawling around at work tomorrow! I did have a nice soak in the jacuzzi with some 2nd Nature Muscle soak, and that did make me feel a little more limber ...but maybe some kind of A5-35 cream on the sore parts. You know you are older than dirt, when you are applying more than four different creams a day. That would be moi!
To bed...hope everyone got loads done in their gardens too.
