I think that Autumn is my favourite season.The days are still warm enough to be outside and the evenings are wonderfully cool for sleeping with the window open. I try not to think of winter with horrible driving conditions. It's a wonderfully busy time of year ; getting into the routine of school, gathering produce from the garden, making preserves and cocooning at night.
YGS was thrilled to go to EGS's birthday party at Hide 'n' Seek. They all get along so well. Work was busy which is a good thing. One thing I am good at is figuring out the easiest , most efficient way to do something and then get it done quickly. Computers were finished being cataloqued and ready for out IT guy to sync with the school division. Some testing has been done for kids I'll be working with in ELI. My room was rearranged so I'll have more floor space so it's all good.
ED works with the partner of the corporate Chef for Sorrentino's. This time we were given the task to do two mystery dinners at two different locaitons. We went out on a Friday night, and honestly for the prices, we were not impressed at all. The food was okay, portions of some appetizers ridiculously small. The Mushroom Fetival was on and our server thought we should just stick to the regular menu !! Oh that is not going to go well at all in his review. I also felt we were talked down to -- especally concerning the wine selection. If he only knew the expertise of my daughter, he'd die of embarassment !
The weekend was very quiet. I finished one shawl and started another scarf, probably for YGS's grandmother. We had GD for a sleepover. Her brother was in BC with his Dad and grandfather at a car race. The weather was so mild we were able to have a fire and roast some marshmallows.
Monday we gad a load of gravel delvered and Hubby managed to rake about 3/4 of it evenly on the driveway. Perhaps this weekend we'll be able to tamp it down.
On Monday I messaged ED to say didn't we have to do the next restaurant before the 23rd ? So off we went that night to the restaurant that the corporation was most worried about. The food has not been up to par and the service was not good. Some of the young professionals I work with have said that they had stopped going because of these reasons. Well, we had the best meal and the best service. I am sure Chris wll be shocked ! It was a lovely evening.
This week was my week for cleaning the staffroom along with 2 others. A friend switched out with someone who absolutely never does anything so we were able to figure out a routine to make it easy on both of us. Don't know what the third one did, never noticed her loading the dishwasher or wiping anything down. Today after school I made a Pumpkin Square, although it seems more cake like. I just have to make the cream cheese icing to put on tomorrow morning. It took 8 eggs !!! Now I am' done ' til June :)
Now to sit back and relax, watch a show on tv and then hit the hay !
