Re: Infinity's
hopefully your roads are improving! ours aren't bad, which I guess is why its snowing again, can't have me getting too comfortable with the drive to work....
I still have too much xmas stuff to do - and most of it involves being mailed away. Something tells me my pressies will not be arriving in time for other people's xmas mornings!
Big formal work party tomorrow night for mr Calesta. Blech. I did get some killer shoes though...

Re: Infinity's
*takes a brief break from filling moving boxes*
Just discovered something on top of my wardrobe that made me smile: a picture from an old calendar, with two cats sitting in a window... I kept it because the window has a sign that says "Antiquities" - I saw that picture and said, "Oh - it must be Infinity's!" Maybe at my new flat, I'll find a spot to hang it again.

Re: Infinity's
That's awesome Magpie! I want a framed picture of Infinity's for my wall, preferably one I can magically enter.

Re: Infinity's
Yeah, being able to enter it would be even better!
So, if I ever enter Infinity's through a window, my picture has turned out to be magical. *grins*

Not that I have a cold - but it's my new favorite green tea and it is rather chilly outside ;)
I have been ridiculously busy lately but I hope eveyone is well and looking forward to spring.

Winter has seemed particulary cold and painful this year - and there really is no end in sight!!

Re: Infinity's
Winter has sure got a good hold this year, hasn't it? A few days ago I looked out my window at my neighbour's house, which is a two-story affair. There were dogs on the roof. That's how deep the snow is, dogs can walk onto roofs. Second story roofs. It's really hard to see outside unless you happen to be able to look down the little cut-out that is the driveway.

Re: Infinity's
Dear god. That amount of snow is utterly ridiculous. Do Canadian houses have doors in the roof? O-o

Re: Infinity's
No, Canadian houses do not have doors in the roof. Actually, I like high snow levels. It is really fascinating how they can transform a landscape. That being said, my part of Canada has not seen snow levels that high. Most of the big storms responsible for that have largely by-passed Montreal and have hit the Maritime provinces and some parts of Ontario instead.

Re: Infinity's
I like the high snow levels, too. It is difficult to get around, though. And after a while it gets a bit claustrophobic. I actually nearly had a panic attack during the last big snowfall a week or so ago. I just looked out there and thought, "This is never going to stop. We'll be digging out of this in July." But then the saying around here is that snow is never on the ground past April, and it never has been, so far. Though this is the most snow I've seen yet.

Re: Infinity's
*waves back to Calesta*
I've had a bit more snow than Peter being off island - I've got about 4 feet at the side of the driveway but it is definitely not as much as most years I've been her. In fact this is the first winter ever my front steps have not been buried - I've still got 5!!!
Other years we've has enough that my neighbours two huskies have jumped off a second storey balcony and played around in my garden (they always look so happy and take themselves home when they've had enough!) I swear they look like they're sulking this year!
It has not been as cold here either in my opinion.
Like Peter says, our area has got off rather lightly this year.

Re: Infinity's
I have been so enjoying spring! We had such a run of the -25 cold with the -35 windchills I thought I was not going to survive it. Its a little colder today but at least we've had a taste of warmth and sunshine.
And pretty soon I'll be in Florida so winter will be just a bad memory for awhile.
And after that who knows! Mr Calesta lost his job awhile back so we are now thinking a move may be in our imminent future. Yikes!
