There's a mouse in the house

This morning, Karma chased a mouse into the house. It ran under the stairs which holds all of our sleeping bags and extra blankets and was quickly lost amongst it all. Debra and Clayton tried to help Karma by taking everything out of the cupboard but the mouse was too sneaky. Karma, after a couple of hours gave up the search. A little while later, Debra was on the couch in the TV room and I heard from up stairs "Mouse! Mouse! Hurry!" So we played cat and mouse and after some time eventually caught the little guy. Isn't he cute!! We let him go a little way down the street. (make our neighbours happy - haha)

Dragon Boat Festival

A very warm day for the Dragon Boat crews, but the inner harbour was packed with spectators. Friends of ours, Harry and Wilma, had their oldest son Nathaniel paddling for the Dragonaughts. They won the Jade division and looked very good doing it.

The Heat has returned

Painting the house

The sides of the house that get most of the sun exposure need to be painted almost yearly nowadays. This time we are priming with Kilz before applying the paint. Let's see if that helps to prevent peeling on the areas that have been scraped to bare wood. I do not think we will buy a wood sided house again.

On the bright side, it is very warm in Victoria and there is loads going on this weekend. Should be a fun time.

Fisherman's Wharf

After I dropped Debra off at work, I headed downtown for a drive and stopped in at Fisherman's Wharf. I really like the houseboat community there. It would be interesting to live on a houseboat.....

Shamrocks drop opener 10-6 to the A's

It is playoff time! Game one was ugly for our hometown Shamrocks. Coquitlam outscored Victoria 5-2 in the final period with the Shamrock goals coming in the last 2 minutes. The next game goes Friday in Coquitlam.

Go Shamrocks.
