Burnaby, Brunette River Walk

I slept in. It was 930 when Madigan began barking at the door. I decided wit the sun shining in the skylight it was likely time to get up. 9:30.  Too late for church. I stayed up till 11 watching the Good Doctor.  This morning I think it’s a great medical show but I expect I’ve had enough for a while. A bit too much like work.  I meditated but more like rote than meeting one’s lover.  I am having a bit of a dry period.  glad to be going through the motions and ‘keeping on trucking’ but not in the bliss zone.

I enjoyed the orange juice, egg and yoghurt. I’m really enjoying the coffee, Starbucks expresso. Having another cup today.

I enjoyed my meeting yesterday. It’s good to be a part of this group and chcking in. Then seeing Dr. Ready was very positive.  The sharp pain in my lower back is replaced with a dull ache and I have some more confidence in mobility. I just wonder how frequency I should see him.  Maybe a couple of weeks.  

After that I drove to Ford and checked out the Maverick.  It seemed big sitting in it this time and I realized there were second hand Fiat’s 500 manual transmission which would work too I then drove over to Laura and had burgers and fish and chips at the place near Thurlow and Davie.

“I don’t really need a vehicle to tow behind the Thor motorhome till next year. For now carrying the Vespa works fine.”  

I became anxious reading that physical and eye testing needed to be done every 2 years after turning 80.  I’ve been planning continuing what I’m doing with motorhome for another decade.  I’m also wanting to sell my camper and truck and add the money to bank loan.  Without a winch system I’ll not be able to load a motorcycle

I’m also talking to God about, life death, longevity, health.

I’ve been still tired since a week of flu.  I told Laura I’ve been sleeping more and she said “You’re tired. You must need the rest.”  I liked that. I tend to tell myself I’m lazy.

Today I missed church but took Madigan on the Brunette River walk.  Crossing the little bridge I said hello to Gilbert, George and Tiffany, our pets who liked the spot in the past. 

A new law has come in adding more censorship and restricting criticism of Canada.  “Hate speech’ is the slippery slope. In England they are arresting people for social media communications.  That’s coming here. I probably shouldn’t have called Carney ‘smegma’. I thought it an erudite comment but even John Cleese and Mark Twain wouldn’t do well in Canada today.

Kevin was at the International Sports booth at the Outdoor show. They used a picture of him for their booth. Looks good.  They’ve been attending an Orthodox Church.  I don’t know what church to attend feeling that the Anglican Church has become too political and leftist and not at all enjoying their climate change and mass migration support.  I was thinking of returning to the Baptists like my mentor Dr. Ney did in latter years.  I have the thought of going but then I’m now still recovering from the walk and thinking of a nap.  That’s what Madigan is doing.

I’m hoping to ride the Vespa today.  

Merry Maids is coming to clean this week. Madigan is being groomed on Thursday. I’ve a morning in the clinic this week too.  

Laura had her car maintenance done since it began with warming messages not to drive.  It needed oil and her air filter hadn’t been change. Anyway we are happy her SMART car is happy again≥. 

It’s cool with some overcast but some spots of blue sky.  

I am grateful. Thank you Jesus.
