Last weekend the kids spent some time up at Greg's parents in Port Elgin. Tristen tried his luck fishing in Southhampton....
... and his efforts were rewarded with his first fish!
Well done, T!
The rest of the week here on the island was pretty uneventful. Brenda and I did get out for a bit of a bike ride one evening but after that the weather was mostly cold and wet. The Cavendish Beach Music Festival was this past weekend and I think you'd have to be a pretty die hard fan to withstand the cold and rain for 3 days. Although I think Friday really wasn't too bad up in that area. There was quite an exodus of campers and tourists this morning across the bridge from what I was told by a fellow who had come across in the opposite direction.
The good news is summer is returning again this week. I had last Saturday off but thanks to a cold that Lloyd very graciously shared, I didn't enjoy my day off nearly as much as I could have. On the other hand it was great not having to go into work when not feeling very well. A four hour nap on Saturday afternoon helped immensely.

The first residents of the new barn are the laying hens. Remember those tiny balls of yellow fluff not so long ago - they have really grown. They have a temporary pen inside the barn until their new permanent spot is closed in. They have perches inside the pen but they seem to like being on the top edge. Hopefully no one falls off or ends up as supper for a fox.
