There – happy person. Standing on top of a mountain. Maybe not a very big mountain but a mountain nonetheless. So how could I not be happy?

Which brings us to today. Yes it’s grey and yes it’s chilly and yes it’s a very late spring with tons of snow still on the ground – all of which has me thinking that summer will never come.

But I take heart in days like yesterday. And tomorrow: tomorrow we have a good group (known as the scary gang actually) going up to Sherpa Peak. Yes. It’s going to be fun to say the least. I already know it’s going to be a good day.

Simon and I looked at a little house today in Slocan. Not a bad place, nicely situated – great sun exposure and lovely garden – all that. But we decided in the end that Slocan is a no. The place has such bad vibes. It is depressed – very.

So. No.

And I am completely at sea about my future so I am going to be a bit of an ostrich and stick my head in the sand and just not think about it.

Instead, I shall think about driving (road trip!) to Vancouver on April 20. I shall think about fun with Lee, honouring Sandra, and being in the beautiful circle of my women friends.
