Today is a special day for me as it is the date of the first wedding of a grandchild, Dawson, to his lovely new wife, Katie. I am desolated at not being in Canada during this time, but I had booked this trip last August, long before they set their wedding date.
I got notice that Temu is refunding me for a 6" chainsaw I had ordered that cannot be supplied. Funny that it takes them more than 2 weeks to realize this, then who knows how long to actually process the refund, which will likely be on the account just so you have to buy something else....
And I still have not received the refund from Jacquie Lawson Cards either.
I noticed that our chubby Rocas' face is crooked. I mentioned to Cristina that she likely had a stroke, and Cristina said yes, she has been like this for a while now... At least I can still coax Rocas to come for walks most nights.
I watched a curling playoff between Nova Scotia and Alberta and the play was so much better than the round-robin.. Alberta won and has a chance to win it all, but there are at least 2 tough teams to beat .
Cristina finally put up the new Temu cat curtains and they look pretty good, especially with Blanco asleep in the cat-bird seat in the window.
I was bored, so I started compiling a list of my favourite movies of all time, and I am almost finished a second page already... These are the ones that you catch when flipping channels and you decide to watch them for the umpteenth time when you know most of the dialogue by heart...
Then I jumped on the old electric moped and went to visit Christian at the cemetery for a few minutes.
As I left, I ran into his father, Carlos . I asked if there was going to be a Paso Fino Cabalgata parade today as there has been one the last 2 years for sure at the end of January here, and I saw two ride by the front door earlier... He said that he is sure that the date has been moved to the end of March, ...after I am gone... Drat!!! I was looking forward to get some nice shots this year.
Just in case, I motored to the north end of town and did run across 2 Paso Fino riders,.. probably the same 2 that had ridden past our door.
I continued to where the parade usually gathers but it was quiet, so I took some pics of the Brahmas and the Egrets.
For about the fifth time, I have heard parrots, they are noisy, but they fly away too fast to get any shots,.. drat!
I have heard back from our friend, the vet John, and he will find a day this coming week when we can go photograph the paragliders from the mountain behind Roldanillo... That excites me!
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
