Another miserable rainy day. MrBasement and MrRoof came this morning. They looked at the roof, they scratched their heads, they climbed onto the roof and then drove off and bought some sealant. Then they sealed all around the windows because the sidings (the boards on the outside of the house) were cut (and shouldn't have been) and were letting the water fall behind and into the house! They said it was an experiment and we would just 'have to see'. They disappeared and didn't ask for money so I guess we'll just to wait and see. As of 7pm we had no leaks and it was raining hard so that's a fairly good sign.

We had a lazy morning of jigsaw (me), watching football (Huffle edit - and I enjoyed it immensely), playing on the IPads (boys), showers (boys) and sewing (me), Skyping Grandma (Huffle).
This afternoon we took the boys for hair cuts, picked up some Geraniums for the outside pots and went for something to eat. We were in a pub and there were several TV screens playing Hockey, Baseball, Football and News. We went to the Thrifty shop where Huffle bought a pair of trousers (still with labels on) and a double cuffed shirt and we picked up a Snowboard for just $10. Next we went to the Consignment Shop where Huffle was interested in a huge oak cabinet that was as big as my bathroom (in other words nowhere to put it!). We bought an original pen and ink drawing which was half price and reminded us both of a place we saw in Italy, so Huffle bought it for me for Mothers Day (next weekend in Canada).
We came home and although it was still raining, the boys got their bikes out and biked down to the Beer Store. Huffle and I walked down and we bought some seed potatoes. Moo sent us two potato bags so we could grow our potatoes in them instead of in the ground. We bought two different varieties, three seed potatoes of each. We spent $1.50 - big spenders.
Back home, Smallest watched TV and rested his weary legs and Small, Huffle and I played Thurn and Taxis. It was very good - Huffle won. The boys (and their haircuts) made jelly.
The boys had their tea and we finished off watching Jurassic Park.
Huffle and I made a new photo montage for Smallest and sorted through some pictures and put a few up. A bit more like home now. The boys watched TV then went to bed. Huffle and I watched TV and listened to the rain!
Another one of our Amaryllis' flowering for its second time.
And another one that is about to burst into bloom

It took us quite a while to put photos up too. Usually have then about a year before they go anywhere near a frame! x
