That's right, its my day!
Well, not just my day but my buddy up in Pt. Hardy shares the day.
As does the Queen of Bhutan. Funny thing though, Bob phone to wish me well but she didn't. Maybe we should call her?
In Germany, birthdays are celebrated just as anywhere else but they also have another celebration called "Name's Day". Just imagine if all of the Bobs (and by extension all Roberts), Debbies, Ralphs or whatever your name is, gets together with all those with same name on a specific day to have a party. A party for your name. Names days were selected after church figures or feast days. Often, people born on or close to a names day were named after that day. It is still popular through Europe and Latin America. To check our your own names day go to www.mynameday.com.
I spent some time tracking down and clarifying rumours of some ne'er do wells. This took me to the northern limit of my jurisdiction only to find no one was at home and the house was empty. The rumour was therefore quashed.
My attempt to have at least half the load packed into the truck has failed miserably. This means the pressure will be on to have it all loaded by nightfall tomorrow. I'll probably help yhe boys on Friday with their newspapers as that will be the last I'll see of them for almost two weeks. Well, two weekends anyways.
Speaking of weekends, I invite all those with nothing to do on Saturday night to come down to the Vanier running track to watch or take part in the Walk for the Cure (Cancer Walk). We have done this as a family for a number of years. Both of my parents are cancer survivors and I know that any support is better than no support. If it wasn't for my expedition I would be putting up a tent and cranking up the portable Flame Pit. I'd sleep over night too. Kinda plusses me off that the CFB doesn't have an organized representative team. Yes, each individual unit may be sending a team of track walkers but you would think that THE BASE would support a team made up of volunteer members.
No such luck.
Like I said, if your not tired and your bored of watching NETFLIX, get off your duff and participate in something useful. Take a friend and make it a social event. Get involved!
My better half just reminded me to pack some white gold , which is something I have forgotten up until now. Four rolls of the good stuff shoud be enough
What do you think?
