Day 114 - Oakville - 27th November 2004 It was a beautiful winter day here today. The sun was shining and although the temperature has been down to 1 deg overnight, it warmed up to about 5 deg during the day. But it is still dry, dry, dry. Even though we had a whole day of rain the day before yesterday. Everything is dry again. We went to a farm today with a friend from school. We bought some wool from them for Sammy's knitting and crocheting. Julie had some as well. Then we went to see the sheep that the actual wool had come from. The lady who owns the farm, a Frau Troutmandorf originally from Austria, also sends wool to the school that has not been spun and another lady comes to the school and spins it in the classroom. Then the kids use the wool to knit or crochet. Now they know the whole process from sheep to wooly hat. We are still on the diet/fast (see Mastercleanse if you don't mind the gory details). It's just amazing what your mind does with this not eating thing. the food Julie was preparing today for the boys was driving us mad. I think we were actually dribbling. This afternoon I spent a couple of hours in the garden, raking leaves and cutting some dead branches from one of the firs trees. It's a great pleasure to garden without coming across slugs and snails all the time. Sammy helped me with the sawing and throwing the leaves over the side of the garden into the inner skin of the sea wall. Sammy then went for another sleep over with Vito. I just know it's going to be painful leaving again.
