it was kind of spooky this morning when I went for my walk… very Halloween-y as the air was foggy and misty…
unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a good picture…
the leaves have fallen from most trees, but many of those left are quite lovely colours…
the mist dissipated as I walked and before the day was over the sun came out…

this morning I had to drive myself to work… missed my carpool buddy…
was surprised when I opened the back door to find a bag hanging from the handle… then I remembered that my daughter had said a friend was going to drop something off… it had completely slipped my mind… particularly as I am usually coming in the front door now…
my technique when I drive out of the garage is to stop and make sure the overhead door closes all the way before I drive away… that way, when I get down the street, or halfway to the office, I won’t freak out wondering if I closed it…
while I waited I enjoyed looking at the Joy hanging in the car… for whatever reason it was rocking and rolling a bit… brought a smile to my face…
good start to a foggy morning…

had a lovely couple of hours at Thermea tonight…
a while before leaving the house all of a sudden it was very foggy…
could barely see on the drive over, but it was beautiful on the grounds… had a lovely view of the moon while we were sitting in the outdoor pools…
reminded me of the lovely hydropath at the Kingfisher Spa just outside of Courtenay, BC… tried to get there whenever I visited my daughter while she lived at the coast… have come a long way from the days when I could only stay in the steam sauna for about two minutes, lol…
today we spent the most time in the eucalyptus steam sauna… pretty hot and steamy… also really enjoyed sitting by the fire on this beautiful evening…
finally had the chance to go at night to see how it looked lit up… lovely…
a wonderful treat, thanks to the generosity of my colleagues…
final treat of the day were these flowers that jumped into my shopping cart…

when I was at the first Dollarama gathering the bits and pieces for the Easter tablescape, I purchased two lovely glasses… they are an interesting shape and have a bit of purple around the bottom…
they fit on the shelf in the cupboard, which is important and I really like the feel of them in my hand…
yesterday I went back and picked up eight more… 
tossed out the old ones which had turned all foggy from the dishwasher and must have been at least ten years old… they weren’t even good enough to donate, lol…
finding glasses that feel good in my hand always seems difficult, but I am pleased with these ones…
also picked up a couple of bowls with the same pattern…
giggling to myself tonight after feeding the fish… they were in such a hurry to eat that they splashed my face, hands and shirt… they are only getting fed once a day now and are feeling like they are suffering…
