Another day in the sun

Wow, what a nice day! Started out windy, but was real nice when the wind died down. Still getting accustomed to the daylight hours here, there must roughly 11 hours of sun a day from 7:00AM until 6:00 PM. Many evenings have very nice sunsets, the sky gets red as the shadows lengthen. Paid our rent for January, $375, same as last year. Met some more people, Mike looks after the pool and was repairing rests [ladies aids] & invited me to play 8 ball with them. Went to Walmart in AJ, we are pretty well stocked now. They had a beer special on - 30 cans for $15.99, but it was light beer. If you have ever had US light beer, well it's more like near beer, but they did have my old fav Landshark on sale, so bought that. Can't bbq without the shark. ;>) Went to OK Tire and got the oil changed in the car, [Mike the pool expert recommended it] what a deal! Oil, filter, lube and tire rotation all for $19.95. BBQ'd for supper & Marg made some rice with a southwest flavour, very nice. Been following the Edm/Cal TV channels and I'm not sure what is worse news: the weather or the way the Oilers are playing. Coyote fans down here are hopeful.

  1. Phil was well impressed with your cheap service.... great deal. Its a snowy day here.. 1000 schools closed in the West Midlands.. but sadly not Katies... only 12 kids out of 30 turned up, but we thought we had better send her in... she wasn't impressed. Lots of people slept in their cars on the motorway last night... can you believe it? They are also saying they fear by tomorrow there will be no grit. lol Bet you are glad to be snowbirds.. x
