This is my nomination for an Order of Canada for Ruth Hayhoe who is my neighbourhood resident genius. Look her up while you wait.

I’ll be back. Matt needs winter boots….

And then the day turned into disaster. I hadn’t checked his place for a while and I/we got stuck in cleaning the bathroom and throwing out a rotten mildewed tub mat; sorting a plethora of clothes and filling some green garbage bags (to go to Oasis)'; remaking his bed and recovering an errant mattress sliding away.

So we lost the day - no shopping.

And I get tired.

So I’l write my blog about Ruth tomorrow.
