The weather played a significant role in our weekly activities. We made the run to New Glasgow on Tuesday/ Wednesday.
Thursday is ‘Register/ Reader’day. We stopped at the Bridgetown library. I could put my feet up and read the Wednesday Register and the Thursday Chronicle Herald. Bumped into Steve Raftery. We compared notes about life in Bridgetown, Paradise and Middleton. Certainly, we are happy to be off Highway #201.
Overnight, the snow melted.
The meadow alongside the Annapolis River turned into a lake with ducks swimming. The deer must have headed for dry land. There are still blue jays and cardinals in the bushes.
Friday, we thought that we would take a stroll around the French Basin in Annapolis Royal. When we arrived, there was snow on the wind, blowing off the Basin. It did not take long for us to take refuge in the Sissiboo Coffee Roaster Cafe for a hot drink.
Fortunately, I had managed to attend men’s Strength and Fitness class at CORAH, earlier in the day.
Andrew, my old school friend from England, sent me a reference to Dr Sanjay Gupta’s book Keep Sharp. I think somewhere in the basement, I may have my own copy. (Found it !)
We are looking forward to the first day of Spring. And when we can bicycle along the Middle Road from Middleton to Lawrencetown. Edward writes to watch those potholes as he shows in his cartoon.

It has been a ‘tough’ week with all the nonsense, South of the border.
We must continue to appreciate the ‘simple things’. Even the crypto quote and word search in the Bridgetown Reader. Edward has returned from Florida, in time for Spring.
