finding shade under the roses

the temperature over the weekend

went from warm...to warmer....to warmest

and everyone was looking for shade.

there is this beautiful spot under

a canopy of roses (in the gardens of government house)  that we simply love

and lucky us...no one was there when we got there.

that was yesterday...and now, feeling refreshed and rested...

i'm ready to greet the brand new week and all it has to bring.

hello monday !!!

hello fame...the highschool's production of fame is playing this wednesday and thursday evening...the kids have worked so hard and rehearsed so often...i know both shows are going to be great....i have two extra tickets if anyone is interested??

hello wide open windows at night that has to be shut mid day...isn't it wonderful to sleep with all the fresh air circulating in?  unfortunately,because of the heat, i have to remember to shut them all so the house doesn't absorb all the midday heat.

hello car wash...one of our neighbours, a professional house painter, informed ian that bird poop eats right through the car's enamel and causes rust....bucket of water and soap to the rescue!!!

hello mountains of laundry to climb...sometimes it feels like i have five kids instead of two when i look at all the laundry they produce.  thank goodness for the warmer weather...no more layering for at least a couple of months

hello harbour air...ian is off to the mainland...and needs a lift to catch his plane from victoria's inner harbour (just a minute...let me find my chauffeur's cap)

hello friends...wishing you all a wonderful start to your week!!
