A local sort of day today. Darby, Fern & Eileen's wee dog is not very well and they needed to contact the vet. Fern was also working this morning at Fairwinds Golf Course where he oversees starting and ensure a trouble free first tee for the members. The two Eileens, Darby and myself went for a short walk. Eileen B has been trying to entice me into the woods for days to show me something interesting - or so she says! Look at the photos below and you will see the something interesting. It is a fully developed Maple tree growing out of a Douglas Fir. The Maple joins the fir about 7 feet above ground level - it really is an interesting sight but not quite what I expected!! We also visited some friends of Fern & Eileen - Mac & Ann. They have a super house with about 2 acres of land/woods. Ann & Mac have done a lot of work to their house even re-roofing it! Mac has an old salmon fishing boat stuck in the back which he hopes to make seaworthy one day. Nothing seems to daunt these two.
In the afternoon Eileen and I went to Nanaimo about 20 minutes away - we got lost on the way and ended up on the other side of the town but managed to turn the map upside down and find our way to the harbour. There we watched a seaplane landing - the one that we will take to Vancouver Airport when we go to Alaska on Wednesday. These seaside town harbours are always interesting places as the Islanders use a lot of water transport for commercial and pleasure purposes. When we got back to the house we discovered that Darby had been prescribed some valium and anti-convulsant tablets, the vet had taken more tests to try and identify the problem.
Still mostly overcast with some sunny spells, sitting in the garden as I write this and need to put a jersey on - yes the grey one - I only bought one and I'm getting stick for it. I thought that one would be enough and after all it is cashmere!
