ok, well it’s been a craving for longer than un jour….

grapes and cottage cheese. I could eat four bowls a day of the protein-y, cheese-y, sweet yummy goodness. when we run out of grapes I substitute apples. when we run out of cottage cheese I drive to the shop immediately.

we spent easter weekend out west at andy’s. I repotted tomato seedlings in the sun on monday afternoon while tom attacked the brambles with the weed whacker. We plotted out plans for a gate lodge or a caravan at the top of the land and walked out through the fruit trees, checking to see which ones were in bloom. We spent sunday with our neices and tom’s sister at a “land of oz fantasy day” for kids & families hosted by the local yoga retreat centre. A glimpse into family life, I suppose, and it wasn’t as bad as I feared. A little chaotic, but rewarding overall.

I’ve been spending a lot of energy on driving practice recently, taking lessons and working at changing a few of the not-so-good habits that I’d developed since I started driving around on my own after christmas. Some of the driving practices are quite different than those of Canada, with no real rhyme or reason that I can see… like not shoulder checking when changing lanes. Hello? even using both rear-view and side mirrors there is still a blind spot. this makes no sense to me, and I’m not going to stop shoulder checking. But with a lot of practice and a bit of luck I should be ready for my test next friday.

Also, for anyone that is worried about me, I’m not having a trust crisis. I just started thinking about it when I read Amy’s post and felt like waxing philosophical for a bit. Sometimes it is only when the crisis is long past that you can get enough perspective to think about things clearly.
