For the last few days we've had absolutely beautiful weather here. Cold, but crisp and clear and sunny. The sort of weather that you can just about get away with only a sweater on, and if you turn your face to the sun you can feel the warmth shining down on you. Harry has enjoyed playing on the deck. I took a couple of the outdoor toys onto it (cars and such like) and he's had enormous fun scooting about and enjoying the sunshine. After months of rain it's been fabulous.
The weather also reminds me of England in some ways..... in as much as this weather just doesn't happen in Ontario. There it went from freezing to humid overnight and I really missed these almost spring like days where you almost feel a sense of excitement, a sense of rediscovery.
Talking of discovery, I discovered yesterday that we can just about see the Olympic mountains from our deck. The tips of them anyway. And just across the road (which is significantly uphill!) you can see quite alot more of them. I saw a rather spectacular view at sunset yesterday with the sun silhouetting the mountains as it descended behind them just as I happened to be pulling into the driveway.
One thing the fresh air hasn't brought is an end to my bloody flu which has now turned into a Sinus Infection. I've been to get antibiotics this morning because these annual sinus infections are as painful as you like, and I don't want it ruining our weekend at Disneyland! Hopefully the meds will kick in before it gets too bad as we leave tomorrow!
