It's a bird, ...

Meet Ali, the Congo African Grey parrot we have adopted.  :-)

Yet another pet

Our new pet arrives tomorrow morning.  I'm not going to spoil the surprise for those of you who follow my blog.  Check in tomorrow for details (and to potentially comment on how insane we truly are).  ;-)

Spring is here

I love Victoria. ;-)

The Great Mead Hunt

We had what is going to be our first annual medieval-themed Feast of Fools yesterday, and part of it is the Great Mead Hunt.  We travelled out to Sooke to visit Tugwell Creek Meadery and we came back with this haul.  The mead is delicious and we consumed a fair amount of it!  :-)

I'd love to stay here

Yah!

I found yesterday that I am being promoted from a Clerk 9 to a Clerk 14, with a pay jump (from what I can tell it's $3 more an hour).  What a great way to start my weekend. :-)

Dancing dog

This dog is pretty awesome.
