Welcome To The World, Dudes

It would be nice if I could remember to post on this journal, once a week.

It really would. And the ideal day for me to post to it, would be Monday. Which is what it is today. Easter Monday, to be precise. This is my last day off for Easter weekend and it’s been quite a lovely Easter weekend at that, with two inches of snow yesterday – photos are there on the right. I had a modest amount of Easter eggs, all of which I have consumed now, in order to be chocolate free tomorrow when THE DIET starts again. Because I definitely need to drop at least the 5lbs I gained over Christmas.

The two inches of snow yesterday were just right – they didn’t outstay their welcome and by the time I dragged myself out of the house mid afternoon, it was reasonably safe underfoot and I was thrilled to discover that I have actually improved at snowball fighting – I think I only missed my one and only sibling Fry and Dad once each. At one point Fry had a nice big splatter of snow on his left shoulder blade. I should have photographed it but Hurrah! nonetheless.

We’re expecting post-Easter visitors this afternoon, my cousin Younger Twin C who could be mistaken for Kate Winslet’s younger sister and her son Z-boy, who’s coming for his Easter treats from us. Older Twin C who is identical to Younger Twin C and so also could be mistaken for Kate Winslet’s younger sister. I’m not sure if Kate Winslet has a younger sister, but these two could easily deputise, if required.

I wanted to put in a plug for my favourite podcast of late; my closepersonalfriend of nearly seven count ‘em years, Dave “The Lovebug” Lee’s Bugcast. He read out my email in full, on this week’s edition and so it’s only fitting to give recognition to his lively half hour of chat and music here at The World of Dork.

So what does this week bring? Other than work at the bookshop in town, next Saturday sees the one year anniversary of the no longer All-New Sudbury BookCrossing Meet at Caffe Nero. Hoping for a reasonable turn out, as there were only two of us in January!

Well that’s all the news that’s fit to print, right now. Remember, there may be trouble ahead but there might also be a chocolate mountain in your future. Hasta!
