Saturday in the Park

Nice day, got really hot, 79F I think. I got up and went for bacon, eggs, pancakes in the rec centre. Sat with the bachelors again, as most of their wives were not back from Vegas yet & Marg well, you know she doesn't do big breakfasts by now. LOL

After lunch went over and negotiated a purchase of ladies roller skates from Elmer. These are in great shape and come in a custom, lined, locking box. Now the challenge is to get them over to England. Later had to run a few errands and stop at the bank as we were running low on cash. The exchange rate has been very good this year.

Went for lunch with Kenny, Doris, Ron & Mary to the chinese buffet. This is getting bad, now buffet for lunch, oh well, I can always sleep it off in my zero gravity chair. When we got back, learned the Trouts had stopped in and left a note, but no phone number. That's a shame as we have not caught up with them yet. I called the number they used last year and it was some rental shop. Either they changed it or are branching out to a new business.

In the afternoon I went and played some pool. Took out my old cue and used it, as I have been struggling with the newer fibreglass one. My old one performed well, so that will be the new game plan for next week or least until I see how well it goes. Marg went and swam in the pool to beat the heat. She said it was gorgeous in the pool and there was only one or two other people in with her. Most of the regulars down here don't venture into the pool until the daytime temp reaches the 90's. Go figure!

Spent some time on the phone & by email with Charlene on plans for this summer. It looks like we will be renting a cottage at the seaside in Wales.

As supper time approached, we still were not hungry, so just had appetizers & cocktails. The same group from lunch, plus one, joined us. Marg introduced Doris to a slush from her Walmart collection, yes came with alcohol in it. Walmart here is very different than home. It was a good social, we shared some laughs and Marg got out the bottle of wine she won yesterday. Ron brought a bottle of chocolate flavoured wine he won at the same raffle. I didn't like the sound of it either, but it was yummy. Marg puts out quite a variety of snacks & everyone protests that she goes to too much trouble, but you know her.
