This weekend was the best. Four days off in a row is great, but temperatures between 20 and 26 every day was absolutely glorious! Thursday night I went out kareoke partyin' with some friends, and then Friday evening we met them at Wood Lake (20km past Weaver Lake, up the west side of Harrison Lake) for dinner at their campsite... they had gone camping that day, and we were out for a drive, so we figured we'd drive by and say Hi... I didn't know at the time that the drive would entail taking my beamer up 20km of logging road, but there was this 'point of no return' thing...
Anyway, it worked out, and it was fun :-)
And yes, I made it back in time for the hockey game!
Saturday we went to White Rock, and after spending 45 minutes to find parking, we got some gellatto, went for an awesome walk in the sun, then kicked back on the deck of a Jamaican restaurant. Sipping Red Stripe beer and eating jerk pork was a pretty damn decent way to spend an afternoon in the sun. After that, we cruised over to historic Steveston to check out the village, and stroll through their beaches. Neither of us had ever been to Steveston before, so that was cool. We'll have to get back there when the Canery museum is open - it looked pretty interesting, and it's supposed to be haunted!
Sunday was a scorcher - twenty-six degrees! I spent most of the time gardening or working in the back yard, but took breaks from the sun do do some inside work too... we took a walk around the neighbourhood in the afternoon, and sweat our shorts off - what ever happened to those April Showers, huh? I actually had to put the sprinkler out - we haven't had rain in weeks and all my grass is drying up!
At 6:30PM it was still 25 degrees, so I raced down to the get a pack 'o' beer in time for the hockey game - Go Canucks! Another win... :-)
Yesterday was overcast, but warm and dry. I spent it inside, cooking, cleaning, racking my beer, doing some computer stuff, and watching a couple of movies. A good way to wind down and get ready for the duldrums of 'employment' to come. So here I am, back at work, recapping and reliving a glorious weekend.
It wasn't too shabby at all.
