Saturday - snowy but warmer

We woke up this morning to a world of white.  Snow was everywhere, and it was quite deep too.  Bleck.  I didn’t want to tell F, but I had to.

We went for brunch to Gusto and then F drove me to my school.  He was amazing and shovelled and removed a lot of snow from my parking space.  I worked on other areas.  He soon had the area look good, and even stayed there to make sure the snow plough didn’t block the gate.

My student came on time, and had a special request. She wanted me to do test preparation.  It was fine, but it honestly would have been nice if she or her mother had asked in advance to let me prepare for it.  Still, it was fine.  All too soon our class was over.  It was quite sad for me, as she won’t be continuing at my school. I’ve been teaching her since she was 4 or 5, so I’m quite sad about the whole thing.

After her class, I checked on the parking lot and the snowplough had blocked the gate.  My student’s mother hadn’t parked there though, so she wasn’t trapped, but I cleared the gateway anyway. I had another class scheduled today.

I spent a couple of hours inside my school doing bits and bobs, I checked on the snow situation a little later and it was okay, and prepared for my next student.  She called a little late and said that she couldn’t come as she was busy.  I spent the rest of my time doing things like washing dishes, reading newspapers and napping!

At 6 pm I called F and asked him to come and pick me up.  He did, and we went to Fireball for dinner.  We had the pasta set again.  We had butter chicken curry on spaghetti and smoked salmon and mushrooms with a vodka taste sauce.  They were both good, with the salmon and mushroom having a slight edge.  Suitably stuffed, we left the restaurant and came home.

We had a quiet night in.  F watched something and then I took over the TV. I watched a new British drama, Case Sensitive and then my usual Saturday night stuff. I’ve also watched the last half of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  

Tomorrow, I’m not sure what we’re going to do.  The weather forecast isn’t good and there are all kinds of advisories in effect.  Sigh.  I hope that it’ll be a good day.  Got to go. Night.
