Yesterday was my birthday

The big 45! Woot! Nothing really exciting happened during the day. I went swimming in the morning, first time in over a month. Then work. After work I met up with my friends Shayne and Stephanie at the Gleneagles where my brother and his fiancee work. I haven't seen Shayne since mid November, so that was a special treat to be able to hang out with him again. Then my old friend Scoobie appeared on the scene, bought us all a drink, had a bit of a chat and then we all left. It was the way I would have wanted my day to evolve. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

Today was -22 when we got up! What a difference a day makes!Finally the lake is starting to freeze. I slid down by the celeanse plant on my way to work to take a few pictures of the steam coming off the water. Frankly, it was so cold the shutter was sticking on the camera, therefore all the pictures turned out kind of hazy.

I'm hoping it will be bright and sunny on Friday as I have the day off and would like to travel around and take some pictures. What a boring lifestyle I lead!
