January 7, 2016....Temperatures between -10C and 0C

After a brief -22Celsius for a day or two the temperatures are moderating. Or they are a bit above seasonal average.

Yesterday's annual wine-food fest at Pat's place was again an overwhelming success. Everyone got the chance to try very interesting wines and the appetizer foods were again out of this world. It is a pot luck format both for the wine bringing as well as for people bringing favourite finger foods and other party treats. This way one hangs around a table for as long as you can consuming as much of everything as you can when finally you have to sit down and rest awhile. Always talking with friends.

Not much today. I had an awful "inflammatory" experience in my right shoulder-right arm area. It took the ibuprofen at least two hours to finally settle things down. At 4pm it was still time to do a usual 5km walk up to Linda Lane and back. The end of the day can be so beautiful in winter time. The pinks and powder blues in the western skies are something to behold at the end of daylight on these shortened winter days.

Adrienne goes to bridge this evening. I will have to settle down with some usual Netflix if it is working or some TVO documentaries available on a laptop online. TVO has some good food stories. One is "The Truth about Calories" and the other is a series about global food costs and why they are a bit on the rise.

Adrienne is a happy tourist in Lyons when taking a boat along the Rhone River.
