Well there’s one thing I’ve learned since coming out here: don’t believe the local weather forecasts. Local means Ottawa Airport which seems to have its own climate. Consequently here in Kanata it has been a lot milder than expected. So I spent much of Thursday and Friday outside in the sun, apart from the trip to the mall for some shorts. Something else I didn’t bring since I hadn’t expected the weather to be so nice (73-74°F in the shade). I did bring my sunglasses at the last minute so that was okay. The air conditioning is being serviced on Monday.

Our skunk hasn’t come back although there are signs it wandered around next door Friday until it found the mothballs.

One of our neighbours opposite are having their decking extended, including some huge fencing which will go round their hot tub. I have a feeling their next door neighbours might complain that it blocks their sun in the late afternoon.

My cousin and her partner are coming round this afternoon and I think there are some plans for something on Sunday.
