Nowt much

Monday 21st May 2018. Its a lovely day today. But also a sad one. Not only is it the last day of May Long Weekend and we have to go back to the city later after a really nice relaxing weekend at the lake, but when we go back to the city it will feel different than when we left.

On Friday, when we left we hoped that the Jets would win the games on Friday night and Sunday afternoon, still keeping us in the run for the Stanley Cup. But alas, the Golden Knights and their miraculous goalie, won both games, finally ending the Jets best ever season and we return to a city that now has to wait until September for the start of a new season. We all know the Jets punched above their weight this season and it was awesome from start to end, but its sad that now the excitement is all over, there wont be another whiteout till next year and we all have to go back to getting on with out lives, without stopping every other day to watch the Jets play as we have done since early April.

We had some good times though and here are a few of the photos I took of the supporters and costumes, whilst enjoying the whiteouts..

Add to all this the disappointment of United losing the FA Cup final on Saturday and its been a shitty weekend for sport. I must admit to being bored to tears with United for the last few weeks though. There seems to be no enjoyment from the players and that seems to manifest itself in the crowd too. I am finding the games tedious to watch and although I will continue to support them, I hope it changes for the better next season.

In other news Buffy had her final (Not final but don't ask) choir concert of the season last weekend. (I wasn't there on the final night, as I had gone the day before and was watching the Jets) and we hosted the after party at our house. A good night, with lots of booze, not a lot of singing which was a surprise, but a couple of slightly overly drunk people to look after before they all went home by about 3am.

It has been a quiet last few weeks. It really has been taken over with watching Hockey for the most amount of time. We have been testing things.... Oops I nearly forgot...

BABY ALERT - BABY ALERT  - BABY ALERT - BABY ALERT - BABY ALERT - BABY

We have been testing things in preparation for when the thing arrives. The latest item being a baby video monitor. Now, we need one that works at home and also at the lake, where I sit writing this in the sunshine...

My actual view at the moment..

So, as I was saying - We need a monitor that works at home and at the lake. So we ordered 3 different models from Amazon to test out. It all went a bit Goldilocks....

The first one was just bad. Even in the same room as the camera, at home, it failed to work. It was sent back the very same day.

The second and third both worked equally as well as home giving us a range to the corner of the street so we brought them both to the lake to test.

Once here there was a clear winner. Surprisingly, its also the cheapest out of the 3 we had tested. It gives us enough distance between cabins and also has a good battery life. So the second one will be sent back to the Amazon Jungle tomorrow and the winner will be proudly displayed from an open top bus as we tour around Winnipeg receiving cheers and applause from a very polite crowd. There may even be a few whoops.

There isn't much else to say or tell you. I have started painting the window frames in the house and I noticed that the maternity store is next to a frilly underwear store. So I guess that, when a lady visits the frilly underwear store, she should take a look next door to see what could happen if she aint careful (Of course it could also help her out if she WANTS to shop at the maternity place)

Also - what happened here?

Home of Team Anada...nice
