Quick note

It's 1:30 am so I'll make it fast. As you can guess I have not adjusted to the new time zone yet! Last night I went to bed at midnight and slept through to around 7 am, so tonight I thought I'd try it again. However, I started looking at Garry's 1000 piece puzzle and the hours got away from me! This is the before photo, taken when Garry went to bed, there are about 70 pieces to go now.

Today was brewers grain selling day, and business was brisk. They put 5 scoops into the pit with the bucket loader to sell this morning. Right now they are still using the stuff that was bought and bagged (with an ag-bagger) back in the summer. This time of year the supply is low and unavailable due to the holidays at the brewery. The last couple weeks it was too muddy for people to drive to where it is in the tubes in the yard beside the barn and today it was too bumpy, because the mud has frozen with big tractor tire tracks in. Garry tells me that more people are buying now, they sell twice as much as in the summertime.

Tonight I made sushi for the first time. The boys at home- Micah and Noah- make it often, so I thought we'd try it. They came out a little fat, but tasty with cooked shrimp and fake crab and shredded carrot for filling the rolls with the wasabi and so on for taste.




Last night I did homemade pizza after our trip to Dnepro, so Garry is getting spoiled now. Except for cooking his own breakfast, since I have been sleeping in, he's so nice.

Friday we went bowling, got our photos done for our new visa documents, dropped them off for Victor to get the paperwork started, picked up the empty milk jugs there, and checked out the new kitchen he's putting into his house. Then we got groceries, since we were a little low on stuff. Last night it snowed a bit again, today it felt colder because the wind was blowing, but not really cold (says the people who live in Manitoba.)




The kittens are starting to climb, so its a good thing the puzzle will be done soon, I have to put my yarn away befre I go to bed. Trying to find the best substitute for my missing crochet hook, I pulled the scarf I was working on apart after working on it a while. Now there is a big pile of extra yarn until I get bck to where I was. For some reason the part I redid with the steel 6mm hook looks closer than the plastic 5.5 mm did to the part I did in Canada with the steel 5.5-- the one security took away in Vienna. I am sure Xaris or Havi will never know the difference when they get this scarf.
