My friends in England have had the audacity to post pictures of daffodils and other spring flowers on their Facebook pages in the past few days. This is the hardest time of year to be a British chick in Canada as my brain just thinks it should be spring - right now! The reality is just more snow. I'm cheering myself up by borrowing lots of books to improve my gardening skills. I can't wait to get growing fruit and vegetables - tomorrow I'm hoping to plant a few seeds indoors in preparation. What I love about the climate in Canada is that so much grows in my garden here that I could never ever grow in my tiny north facing patch in England. Summer does happen here; it's not guaranteed on the other side of the pond.
While I'm potting up my seeds, I think I'll be listening to some audio books on my ipad. For some reason I'd never thought to do that before this week. I've borrowed ebooks using Overdrive, but never an audiobook. I've baked and cooked supper while trying to watch a movie or tv series on Netflix on my ipad...that doesn't really work as I stop doing what I'm doing and just watch. Hungry kids end up coming into the kitchen and moaning that the dinner is not appearing fast enough. Listening to a something would make more sense and probably result in more being accomplished all round!
I was not successful with the BiblioNB app. I could not find it in the app store on my ipad and my very annoying phone refused to connect to the Play Store to have a look there. As a consequence I've failed on Thing #22. I'll keep trying...
