Monday - February 5 - The weather is consistent, sunny and getting warmer every day. I had trouble sleeping last night, I was still awake at 4 a.m. so needless to say I didn’t want to get up this morning and felt crappy when I did. It took me a while to get myself in gear and get moving. John went out and got a couple of things he wanted to pick up and I cleaned, at least that is done for another week except for quick vacuums. Once a week I do a good cleaning with a couple of extras every time - today it was vacuuming all the screens as they get really dusty.

John has been fighting a cold for the last couple of days and today I felt a bit stuffy so decided to pass on the pool this morning. John figures we picked it up at the casino last week and he is probably right, as being in a poorly ventilated room with all those people probably isn’t the healthiest place to be.

I sat out and read for a while and Jim and Sonia came over for a bit so we had a drink with them. Sonia was making chicken soup and Jim brought some over for us to try - it was very good and hit the spot as we knew our dinner was going to be late so that kept us going while our chicken cooked on the barbecue.

There was a beautiful sunset tonight so we went for a walk around the block to get a good look at it. There is a trailer on the next road over from Ontario and the truck is from Arthur Chrysler so we figured they must live in the area but we never see anyone around when we go by. Tonight Doug happened to be out so we stopped to say hello, turns out they are from Guelph and have seen our sign with Waterloo and have also been trying to catch us home. Anyways, we had a nice chat with them and will try to get together sometime.
