Foggy on Sunday

Today wasn't great for sleeping in like I had hoped for.  I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't really go back to sleep.  I was fed up around 8:30 and got out of bed.  I came out to the living room and did a little bit of studying.  I studied for about an hour and then was tired of being up by myself and the cat, so I started breakfast.  It seems like that always gets Sonja up just when it is finishing cooking.  I made some pancakes and we ate them before going out for groceries.

We came back and saw the seabus coming so we quickly put the groceries away.  We rushed back to the dock to get on the seabus.  We were going over to Shearwater to the greenhouse they have over there.  We wanted to get some grass seed for our little patch of dirt.  So we got on the boat and found out it wasn't leaving for another half hour.  So we rushed for nothing.  We just sat on the seabus and waited until noon came around to leave.  We had originally planned on kayaking over, but the weather was cloudy and looked like it might rain on us, so we opted for the bus.

We got over there and didn't know where the greenhouse was, so we walked around looking for it.  We finally found it and went inside for our grass seed.  They had some so it was easy and we went to the restaurant for lunch.  It was good.  I had a burger and Sonja had a turkey sandwich.  We saw the seabus coming back so we rushed and paid for our meal and got back on the bus for the trip back.

We got back and I dug up the dirt and bit and tried to plant the grass.  I hope it works out.  I didn't have a rake to even it out very well, so I used a piece of plywood to kinda spread it out.  Next was trying to water it.  We had a watering can, but it didn't have a diffuser to spread the water out.  I poked some holes in a water bottle and held that to the spout of the watering can to water our new lawn evenly.

Hopefully it will grow, it will be nice to see something other that rocks or dirt out there.

After I was done that I vacuumed and tidied up a bit as we were having people over for cards.  The rest of the afternoon was relaxing waiting for our friends to show up.  When they did we played some Dutch Blitz.  I think I won the most games, however Sonja would probably argue that.

We are just winding down and getting ready for bed.  Back to work tomorrow for me, but one month tomorrow we will be coming home again.  We are getting really excited.
