i suppose i should have gone to the store when it was brilliantly sunny and warm an hour ago, instead of now when it’s overcast and cool with a thunderstorm threatening imminently … but instead i was reading lazily in my bed with my toes basking in that gorgeously-warm sunspot … nah, i would definitely do it the same again

moving on … we survived! 5 days of spring motorcycle riding, to and from tuscany. spring = rain, so yes, we did get some of that. but the torrential downpour only happened the first day, and near the end, so all in all it really wasn’t so bad. just a bit of a pain to keep putting on and taking off layers of clothing. the routes were a bit muddled as there were a few unexpected road-closures (accidents and cleanings), but there were lots of twisty bits and rivers and forests and hills to keep us entertained. the pasta was excellent and the coffee was marvelous. to me there seemed to be a higher number of incidents than last time, but nothing out of the ordinary in and of themselves. nothing happened to us, other than an inconvenient toll-booth ticket mishap – so that was great. kevin (who joined us all the way from vancouver) seemed to really enjoy himself on the transalp, and it was great to visit the peeps from last year’s corsica trip, minus a few faces, but plus some new ones. i really enjoy their company

now there are a few short days until we leave for canada. laundry to do, packing to organize, some shopping lists to formulate, and inbetween a fair amount of rest. of course packing will be a little annoying because spring in ontario is basically like spring anywhere … rain + sunshine + cool + warm + humid + frost … take your pick of combinations for that one. luckily i’ve got some closets i can raid

and now that it has started to rain swimming pools, it’s time to go and get some groceries
