saturday night – emu

Blissfully quiet day.. In fact the first day in many month I can remember waking up with nothing pressing to do .

I therefore can’t make a very good accounting of my time today.. nothing much happened.

I did manage to get out for my first run in a week since I got the flu.. it felt great to be outside .

This afternoon. Diane and I went over to Jill and Mark’s to meet up with some other friends for an evening of partner yoga, wine and basketball..   I understood the yoga and the wine.. but the basketball put me to sleep ., I will never be a sports fan..

We just got hoe to find Gabe and Jack  telling us about the Eu  they saw in the field behind our house.. That’s right.. an Eu.. They unfortunately didn’t get pictures.. but they chased the thing up into the woods, by that tie gave was able to get his movie camera out.. Here’s a clip of one of the movies.. the prints are between 6 and 8 inches across. The bird was brown.. higher than Gabe’s waist and ran on two legs.. It had a long stride..and definitely couldn’t fly.

We know that there are a nuber of Emu farms in veront.. but none close to here..

Does anyone know if someone is missing an emu ?

Friday night – happy birthday sweet Diane !

We had an unbelievably fun and relaxing day. Diane and I went  to the Inn at Essex to celebrate her birthday.. We got to spend nearly 24 hours together with just the two of us.  It was a wonderful escape.. Diane is always so busy taking care of other people mentally, emotionally  and practically.. that it was lovely having nothing to do , no one to see and nowhere to go.   I just so love hanging out with her.. And I feel so lucky to be able to say that after 30 years of being together.

we had planned on a snowshoe this afternoon but the giant snow storm that was predicted for the day never

aterialize.. Instead we went and saw ‘The King’s speech’.. which I quite liked..

We got home around 4… and soon after were joined by a coupe of friends for an informal birthday dinner for Diane..

It was the end of a really perfect day..

Happy birthday Diane.. we all love you so very much !

– nite all, nite sa.. we’re thinking of you today
