However I have to say it was a perfect day weather wise as there was no humidity. It was gorgeous, and for the first time in a couple of weeks the a/c didn't come on, which was good.
I got half of the remainder of the logs moved and stacked. My back was killing me, so I will complete the job probably on Sunday morning.
I had to nip into town for a couple of things, and then I made a start on the grass. I managed to get the rest of the field cut, and round by the blackcurrant bushes and the front lawn. The field will be to cut again the beginning of next week, as it was so long, I had to lift the blades higher, which in turn means I couldn't cut it as short.
It's a long weekend for us here in Ontario, so my goal for this weekend is to cut all the grass. My potato tops are also dying? So I need to dig up those also this weekend. I dug up four tops on Thursday and was pretty disappointed on how few there were on each plant.
Today's Peek from the Past is here I haven't seen the horses for a while, maybe they are on their summer holidays?
I'm at work again today, actually pleased about that, as maybe I can get a rest........
I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.

Just sitting there, waiting and waiting, and waiting!!
I had a doctors appointment after work on Wednesday. My appointment was at 3:40pm, I finally got in to see him at 4:20pm, which was actually pretty good for our doctor!!
So of course I had plenty of time to read all the magazines, and have to say their selection sucked. I forgot to take my book or take some of my old magazines for them to have. Infact the National Geographic magazine were from 1981????
Then to add to my joy and I think to the rest of the people waiting in the waiting room, there were a couple of teenagers who were obviously very much in love. So much so that they kept kissing one another.......I was very close to telling them to get a room!! Then they were talking to one another in very loud voices, and their language left a lot to be desired using the "F" word quite frequently. I was so glad when he had to go for his appointment, I think we all sighed with relief.
Our doctor is notorious for running late, but I always find it disturbing that all the other people who you walked into the doctor's office with have had their appointments and you are still sitting there. There are around eight doctors in this practice and our doctor is always the one running behind.
I did manage to send dd a text without getting one of the receptionists to do it for me. Granted it took me forever to type it all out, but I did it all by myself. They too were very proud of me doing it all by myself. I normally get one of them to do it, as it's a heck of a lot faster.
Then when I went to get my prescription filled at the pharmacy, there was a woman in front of me with one crutch, her arm in a sling, with a nasty cut on her head, and a lot of blood on her leg where she must have fallen. The woman was a mess, it was really strange why she was wandering around like that. I did hear her say she had spent the last day in the hospital. No idea why they hadn't cleaned her up though. She was on her way to see her family doctor to try and get some more Tylenol 3's as the doctor at the hospital had only given her a prescription for 20 of them. Regardless it kept my mind busy watching her while I was waiting for my prescription!!
So it was nearly 5:30 pm when I got home on Wednesday night. Luckily I had left dh full instructions on how to put the shepherd's pie in the toaster oven to cook. So supper was ready when I walked into the house.
Today's Peek from the Past is this I had forgotten about this post, but after reading it over I do remember this. I still have that material as well. I keep meaning to do something with the owl fabric, not sure what yet though.
