Quiet Sunday

 We had a couple of errands to run yesterday then went by the ocean.  It was supposed to be much nicer yesterday but instead ended up cold and windy with whitecaps on the ocean.  Still beautiful though. 

We also stopped at 2 little free libraries near our house as hubby has run out of reading material.  He didn't think he would find anything he was interested in yet came away with 3 books - a new convert.  I put the same number of books in that we took out.  

I did manage to get my front flowerbed planted yesterday morning before the wind picked up.  No pictures, will wait a few days to see if the plants take properly before showing it.  I planted some flowers I've never grown before so it will be wait and see.  This year one can't be too picky on anything, you buy what you can afford and what you see rather than going to several stores.

This week our Province opened a lot of businesses that had been shut.  Dentists, although mine hasn't opened yet.  Hairdressers, although my hairdresser is not coming in for several more weeks, if every as she has a compromised immune system.  Gyms opened except none of our recreation centres are open where hubby works out and even then, I can only see gyms as gigantic petrie dishes at the best of times let alone now so he works out at home and I have absolutely no issue with the weights being in the living room.  They normally are tucked away in his office closet but since he has to use them more now they went to where we have more room.  Restaurants were permitted to open 50% capacity with appropriate table spacing and special measures although the ones we drove by seemed still quite quiet.   Buddy's groomer reopened but is so backlogged from all the cancelled appointments and the fact that she will only do 3 grooms a day in order to maintain social distancing and disinfecting that it still will be several weeks before we get to take him there.  For now, we are all fine if a bit scruffy and the dog trimmers are still being used regularly.

Weights in living room and my growing station which will be put away this week

We have had no cases on Vancouver Island for about 10 days, well we did have one but technically it wasn't here, a worker who got Covid in Alberta and was treated there but lives here apparently gets his case assigned here.  All of BC only had 10 cases yesterday.  Things are safe for now, but as we are a high tourism area, as soon as Provincial borders loosen things are bound to change.  We are still wearing masks in stores, though most aren't.  Our Canadian Costcos are now requesting people wear masks in store which I like, although they haven't made it mandatory. 

Today is soup day, chicken veggie soup with salsa and cayenne pepper and homemade biscuits.  This week we have very few business appointments so hubby will help me in a push to complete the areas we need to finish painting. These are the complicated ones such as the tray ceiling in our living room which require me to be on a ladder doing the painting.

Happy Sunday people!
