Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on.

photos of the week

Last year, Pam and I would walk to Second Cup on Saturday mornings, nearly every week, to sit at Second Cup and read, or mark, or do whatever, before getting groceries. It's so quiet in the mornings. This past Saturday was the first time this year that we were able to go. We brought our cameras along to take some pictures while we walked.

It was a beautiful sunny morning! Which is strangely a change from most days we've had recently - RAIN. I could count on one hand the days of rain we had last year. This year, we're giving Halifax a run for it's money.This is a gazebo along the boardwalk. They have a bunch of them. You can see Kuwait City in the background.On the day of Christina's 30th birthday, she rented a stretch hummer limo and we had a nice drive before our dinner out. It was my first time in a limo! And what a way to start. It's hot stuff. There were champagne flutes inside, and little bars...full of juice. Huzzah!Some days I get a little stressed at school. But I like to organize. Thankfully, Rawan bought me a carpet for my classroom, so I can mark and plan and organize all I like, without sitting on the cold, cold floor (which I would never do...brr). I love sitting on the floor. Maybe because I'm tall and clumsy and therefore I'm less likely to trip and fall the closer I am to the ground. Lulu thought that it was a nice view, all the papers flowered around me, so she grabbed my camera and took a picture. Here is the reason why I am no longer able to sleep in on the weekends! They're putting a new apartment building up beside ours. Sigh...thankfully I love mornings...and afternoon naps.As well as glass buildings. I think glass buildings are my favourite of all the buildings. Here is one I can see every day from my living room.Even the pigeons need to have breakfast...oh, flying rats. You kind of make me want to hit you with a broom. Why are you so pretty sometimes?

Flying rats...lol!

So do people swim there, or not?

We don't...well, *we* aren't supposed to (though it's been done) because they haven't quite figured out the proper sewage treatement thing ;) But a lot of people do swim. I might have a picture somewhere of people swimming behind the "No Swimming" sign. It just isn't safe...pointy rocks, garbage, fishing hooks, little sea creatures. And women need to stay modestly covered - so we can go to the private beaches to swim. Or the pool at the gym!
