I haven’t checked in since we were preparing for our House Concert, so let me tell you that it was wonderful. It is performers like Janelle (Nadeau) who make me think I should say yes to another season. Don’t hold me to that though as there are lots of concerts left before we make that decision. Not only was the performance once of the best we’ve had, but Janelle was such a wonderful guest.

There were four Film Festival movies scheduled for Saturday but Pat and I only made it through two of them. The first movie was a 1 PM and the second was at 3 PM; we had to clear the theatre between the shows and then be checked back in so the second film was late starting. And although there was a bit of a break before the next film and reception at 6 PM there wasn’t enough time to go for dinner anywhere, and popcorn just wasn’t going to get us through. So we decided to come home and enjoy a quiet evening. I was in bed by nine and had my light out by 9:30.

We woke up to a bit of snow this morning but the sun is shining now and there isn’t much left. Even so, I didn’t feel at all odd listening to Janelle’s Christmas CD while I puttered around in my studio. Pat flew out to Vancouver this morning; he’ll be teaching all week. I’ve done five loads of laundry today – how did that happen? I have a busy week ahead so it is good to get it done sooner rather than later.

I feel like it might be another early night but I have a bit of tidying up I want to get done before I stop for the day – company’s coming tomorrow so I need to make a good impression!
