~~~ Celsius, people, Celsius! ~~~

The snow is going quickly now, but the air remains chilly.

While I’m off gallavanting around Edmonton, being cherished and feted by my friends and acquaintances and yearned for by my Scottie — yes, that’s my grand illusion! but let me have it — a real California girl is going to post journal entries for your edification.

You remember Beth, don’t you? While I was getting scorched in the BC interior last summer, she was diligently writing daily copy here so that you three dedicated readers would not be disappointed when you came to the website for a dose of daily detail.

So I’ll carry on about my day and say a tentative farewell. There are a couple more hours of work and some loose ends to tie up before I leave. We need a trip to town for cold cuts and sliced bread; I am making and donating sandwiches to the arts council for sale at the farmers’ market later this week. Then there is packing to do, and supper to think about. And surely I am forgetting something and will remember it at the last moment, when I am ready to fall exhausted into bed at the end of the evening.
