Page 52

 I reached Page 52 in the Companion Book yesterday and today I should get through another 25 perhaps although it is Sunday and I tend to try not to work on Sunday. Advent Sunday is always a much loved one in the Church Year. It is full of hope and wonder as the Church Year begins once again. The birth of the baby Jesus soon to come at Christmas whilst we await the snow here in Ottawa that is still promised. It is a lovely time of the year. God bless the world and keep it safe. 

Keeping with my new lifestyle of not watching too much news for the moment and doing my Sudoku puzzles to calm my thoughts, today I shall watch the Lessons and Carols Service as is traditional in the afternoon on the first Sunday in Advent. Should I put up the Christmas Tree? Probably I will not but I will think about it. Am I still in mourning? No, I think about Edward and how much he enjoyed Christmas; it was by far his favourite season. He loved presents. 

Lots to do and the day is young. I must work on the Kipp Newsletter as well. I still have not done a lot of thinking about the Y-700 results. I need to finish this book and then my mind will be clearer and I can start to multitask once again on my many projects but for the moment Siderfin is getting my full attention but I will publish the Newsletter with promises of a longer writeup on the Y-700 DNA in the next issue. 

Minus 3 degrees celsius and feels like minus 9 so a cool day to start with a high of minus 1. Still no snow in the forecast until on into the week - Wednesday says 6 cm. The air quality is good though at 22. What a strange winter in a city that traditionally is one of the coldest capital cities in the world. 

I went for a fast walk around the large block yesterday and it took 21 minutes which is good. Edward liked to stroll so it generally took around 40 minutes but he enjoyed it. I have returned to my lifestyle of my teen years where I just read a lot, walked a lot (mostly in the house now) and worked. It has its rewards and the time with God in my prayers remains one of my most important times of the day.
