Well, I didn’t intend to be gone for so long but I haven’t been idle during my absence. I’ve been having all kinds of problems with Blogger - the main one being unable to comment on any blog posts - including my own! I haven’t resolved this with any degree of satisfaction, but it does appear to be an issue using Blogger with my iPad.
It has been a very nasty winter here so far. We’ve had extreme cold for weeks and winter storm after winter storm - another one is forecast for tomorrow. We’ve had snow on the ground since November and now it is so icy outdoors that it is almost impossible to stand up. Mr Candytuft fell on the drive this morning, then fell again when he was trying to get up - I fell under the car on Monday and couldn’t get up without assistance - my second fall this winter. How we haven’t broken anything is a miracle. It is too cold to use salt to melt the ice, which is so thick that it is impossible to move - even after our drive has been ploughed following every storm.
Today, we had to go into Charlottetown, so I took the opportunity this presented to visit a thrift shop, where I found this pretty china mug. It is from the Victoria & Albert Museum collection and cost me 50 cents. What a bargain.
As some of you know, I have now published my book and you can see more information about it here.
