Oooooh!!!! I forgot to mention that a got myself a Sony Net MD :) It's a neat little thing! Even though it's an entry model, it still does quite a bit for what it is. :) Got a back of 15 mini-discs to start off with. Now I can record a whack load of stuff from CD to MD. I like the fact that it's small, lightweight and quite compact. I think these guys are better than MP3 players! :D

Just thought I'd share this. :-))

It's finally summer here in Montreal. After a rather cold, wet spring, things have started to heat up around here. Lately, the temps have been in the high 20's, sometimes getting above 30. Of course this means that it's hot, hazy and humid. Quite to contrast to the winter temps we got this past season.

Anyway, made a trip down to Boston a couple weekends ago. It wasn't too painful. The weather could have been better, but what can you do. While it was around 30 up here, it was around 20 and pissing rain the Sunday we were down there. Didn't do too much other than some shopping and stuff.

Of course, being away meant that the cats had a break in their usual routine. Finster went to the vet for boarding while the others got checked in on by a friend. When we came back, Finster was none the worse for wear but Tama seems to be slightly off her food since we weren't around to give her her daily dose of canned food. As a result, she's lost a little wait. For a Siamese, that means she's skinnier than usual. We will have to try to entice her back to the canned food as she just doesn't eat enough of the dry kibble.

I am trying to make an effort to cycle to work. I first cycled to work last Monday when a lot of people had taken that day off (Tuesday was a holiday). It wasn't too bad. Still got to get over my fear of crossing the larger intersections. I should consider leaving my laptop at home. It was a killer ride home with that load on my back! I will see about riding in tomorrow morning. I will try to do the Mon-Wed-Fri ride in. At least that would be a start!

Started a small garden on the deck this year. It's mainly various types of plants in planters. Got some impatiens going in planters on the rails. I've got a mix of verbena, viola, geranium, oxalis, fuschia, snapdragons and coleus in some planters on the floor. Nice colorful assortment. Next season I hope to do better as far as how to plant the different plants in a btter manner.

I've also got two cherry tomato plants that Dave's mom gave me. They seem to be doing well and are starting to bear fruit! I also have a cucumber plant that's flowering now. I wonder if those will bear fruit! The cucumber I had attempted to start from seed. First attempt and they're flowering! Not a bad start. :)

Anyway, let's see how I keep up with my blog. ;-)
