Had gone over to Jardin Jasmin yesterday and came away with just dirt! Actually, that's probably a good thing. I've got to look into taking better care of the orchids I have before I think about getting any more plants! Anyway, we picked up a big bag of this stuff called hydroton. they're like these little marble-sized balls made of baked clay. In any case, we saw them used at the nursery for some plants that like a very moist environment. I figure they would be great for the orchids to sit on top of! It looks like they can stay moist for a while. Also picked up a bag of soil for cactus and a bag of soil for african violets. We need to repot one of Dave's plants and one of two plants I got from work needs more media.

I am really starting to like this little iBook. I think that with each day I use it, the more accustomed I become with it. There are prob still some things about the OS X environment I haven't discovered yet, but soon enough I will be an old hand at it. I really like doing stuff wirelessly. I don't know how I managed to compute from the PC desktop.

I don't think I will be giving up my desktop any time soon, yet, most of this weekend, I had been using the iBook. I've also set it up so that I can receive my email on this machine. Hope my PC doesn't get too lonely...

Anyways, it's exactly one month before the big trip!!! :) 1 day down, 29 more to go!!!!

Darn! Have to go back to work tomorrow. Even these long weekends just don't seem very long any more. I'm supposed to play softball tomorrow, but we got tickets (from John) for the Dave Matthews Band concert at the Bell Centre. Hrm... Oh well. I'm sure the team can handle things just fine without me! :D Well, hey! What would you choose? ;-)

Had a taste of moon cake today. I had bought a tin of them on Saturday. They're from HK. They're rather tasty but rather rich. No wonder no one ever eats a whole one in one sitting! These things can be deadly when eaten in large quantities! We stopped by John and Jessica's to pick up the concert tickets and I brought them a small care basket of some braised beef I made last night and a mooncake. I think Jessica will appreciate the moon cake. :D

Anyway, we tossed around the idea of going up to the cottage next weekend. Maybe see if john and Jessica would like to come along and spend the day there. It should be nice. I just hope the weather cooperates.

:-)
