Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has been comfortable and we've enjoyed getting out for walks and bike rides. I have continued my crusade against the dandelions, and have them pretty much under submission on both lawns! The front lawn continues to recover, and I haven't done the reseeding yet. Andrew and I have had another session of work on the Adirondack chair. We have the main supports cut to shape, sanded and ready for seat and back. We got all the boards planed and ready to cut to size and shape for the arms, seat and back. He plans to come by one day next week to work on the next phase. The Covid-19 situation continues to improve with weekly infections down 16% from last week. It is also improving here, and we only have three provinces now over the target line of 100 cases per million. Manitoba continues to suffer the worst of it, but it has also improved some. Saskatchewan and Alberta are almost down to the 100 mark! Ontario announced that the scheduling for shot #2 will be advanced, and that we can login to book it soon. We're looking forward to that. It was a short week in the markets since we had the Victoria Day holiday, but it was a great week, and with only one trading day left, I have gained quota once again. It's now seven straight months since the election—thanks Uncle Joe! Wendy has continued therapy, and, we hope, healing of her shoulder. She had an appointment with her chiropractor and has another with her doctor next week. I had an appointment for an MRI on Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to a report from my doctor on that procedure. World Curling ended last weekend. Sweden beat us to win the bronze, while Scotland won the gold over Switzerland. There are now 67 countries officially competing in curling, and some of them are making a habit of beating the teachers! The first round of the NHL playoffs is almost complete. Two of my teams (Oilers, Pens) were knocked out—so, it's Go Leafs Go! My pick to win the cup, Colorado, did win to advance to round two.
Erica writes, "We enjoyed having Liam all week. He worked really hard on this week’s YouTube Animatic video. He timed himself at one point and it took him one hour to do about seventeen seconds of video—yikes! We had a nice break on Victoria Day, and hung out together. Eric is enjoying the riding the motorbike to work on a daily basis. I continued to work from home this week. Next week, I’m back in the office."
Kristian is managing pretty well with his two subjects in this final quint. There is some discussion of adding more in-person time as the pandemic ebbs. His eczema situation is not improving since the UV radiation machine went down. And Lucy is still not doing well, yet.
Joanna, Travis and Wendy picked up their new Adirondack chairs and delivered them to our shed. They're working to choose appropriate stains and finishes before moving them home. Gemma and Andrew got their second vaccine doses—yay! Joanna got her first dose—yay! Travis is scheduled for his first dose—yay!
And that's about it for this week.
