Today the main floor and the basement will be cleaned and I am partway through that process. Dogs keep me busy in the morning so blog doesn't get written any too early. They have had a great time outside already as it is a beautiful day and I gathered up the branches that had come down so they are playing with those carting them about and having a great time.
No work done yesterday at all but that is not surprising; gradually I will get a little routine going but at the moment I have a lot to do around the house and they enjoy following me about. Still not paying much attention to the news but was very happy to see all the European leaders accompany the President of Ukraine to the meeting with our neighbour to the south. Pierre Poilievere was elected in his byelection riding yesterday which is good news. He is young but he has good ideas as I said during the election. The ideas put forward by both the Conservatives and the Liberals were very similar and it really was a question between experience and youth and Prime Minister Carney has vast experience in finance and trade management from his years as Governor of the Bank of Canada. But Pierre has youthful vigor and the young people are likely to follow him; the two leaders of the major parties working together will be a fantastic twosome. One anticipates they will disagree on occasion but for the most part their goal is the same - an energy corridor right across Canada and as soon as it is possible. We need it to increase our ability to be an exporter of the products that we manufacture and are needed around the world. I was contemplating the new port that Wab Kinew has put forward as one of his provincial ideas and if it extended to setting up a shipping company by the First Nations in the north of Manitoba it could be an extremely productive business for them. Nothing like taking your products to the world (although they are not seafaring in their background certainly being on the water is something that they have done in vast amounts). They are iced in in the winter so would still need the pipeline to the Atlantic but will Global Warming be reversed? That is part of the question I think and I suspect we could have fairly open waters in Hudson Bay as time passes until the world finds the stamina to combat Global Warming - some areas are very aggressive like Europe (we have been but we also need to protect our economy which is undergoing huge changes as we work our way through tariff and how it affects our lives here in Canada).
Well this is my break time so must accomplish a few other things aside from day dreaming on my blog.
The little dog barks and it is a large bark and she really isn't that little - probably 50 pounds or more. But she does sit at the window upstairs and has a huge view of the street and anything that moves is suspect to dogs for sure if they do not recognize it. I have called her away from the window and she is resting on my bed as she contemplates her punishment for barking.
Getting used to my new computer although read my mail on the old computer because it will be the workhorse and this will be the writing computer. It is very fast and lots of room although I haven't done any work now for a few days but it will come back soon enough and my mind is having a rest from all of that although I have jotted a few notes down and they are on the desktop ready for my return as I continue collecting and entering the DNA data from all of my cousins around the world.
A bit of cloud but mostly sunny and warm enough at 18 degrees celsius although last night was cooler but it is past the middle of August and the nights are longer which is great. I love the winter months in Canada; I just hibernate for most of it.
Back to dusting and then vacuuming the living room, scrubbing the bathroom and then this floor is complete. The basement rug is vacuumed by the Robot and also completed so just the dusting in the basement and washing the floors and I am done for another week.
