What an absolutely gorgeous day!  I thought it was supposed to go up to about 10C and rain today, but it's sunny and considerably hotter.  :D  

This morning, I met my Grandma and Uncle at the McDonalds down the road from me for coffee before wandering around the Mulvey Flea Market.  They managed to refrain from buying anything, but I found a couple pretty pieces of art, a white bowl for dumping jewelry in (there's always little piles of earrings, rings, and necklaces lying around my place - I need something to put them in!), and a cut vase for my Mom's birthday gift.  After we parted ways, I hoofed it home, enjoying the sun.  

Sadly, the landlords haven't shut off the heat yet, so my place is hot and humid.  :P  But opening all the windows seems to help!  I plan to clean for a while, before getting to a sewing project.  

Perfect day is perfect (nearly - needs some tea)

Earth Hour

Just realized that Earth Hour is tonight from 8:30-9:30 pm.  Think I'll do what I did year before last and light every candle I have in the apartment and enjoy a power-free night!  

Actually, this wasn't uncommon when I lived in Kingston, ON.  We had a lot of power outtages there, so I always had candles around and a lighter kept very strictly in one place at all times.  Frustrating, but nice every once and a while.  We don't generally have as much trouble with the power here in Manitoba.

Happy Earth Hour, everyone!

Earth Hour

Candles lit, cup of tea made, copy of Marie Curie: A Biography ready to be read.  Earth Hour, ready to go.

And yes, I know it's not that significant of a movement.  But it's a bit fun to be part of a world-wide thing, and it's a nice change to go so completely offline and powered down.  :D

Have a nice evening, all!
