On a lighter note

The first really warm day of the spring and Diana is far ahead of me on the trail.

Today is our fortieth anniversary (really tomorrow, but it was a Saturday in Montreal at Christ Church Cathedral 40 years ago). We rode out to Sydney (BC) - here are a few pictures: daffodils, fallow fields, noisy roosters with a few pot bellied friends.

After the ride we had on our back porch a slightly red gin and tonic with a slice of lime and a maraschino cherry.

Tonight we will be going out for a full length dinner at Café Brio, a place we have heard good reports of, have often looked at, but have never yet entered. Yesterday Diana gave me a very expensive bottle of scotch and believe it or not - an even more expensive bottle of red wine.
