Day 29 Quebec

Wonderful sleep, with only one visit from my associate, which necessitated a change in beds at 2:30. Lachie woke up at 6:45! Yippee. No snow outside, but you could see it was cold outside both from the whitened footpaths and from multitudes of layers on the people below. The flags were flapping furiously indicating a cold wind.

We all ate breakfast, then dropped Tim at work. We went on to Walmart, where we bought things on our list, including a new card reader and back pack for me. Tim had searched many shops over the last few weeks for a card reader and I had been looking in Australia for a new backpack with a section for my lap top and bottle holder. We stopped to feed Amelia and have a cuppa. Amelia vomited all over Sarah and herself. Luckily we had just bought some new grow suits. Sarah had to use one straight away. It changed our shopping plans. Off to the change area to change two children and back out into the Arctic wind. Sarah sat in the car and finished feeding Amelia, then it was a quick drive home to get changed.

I went down the street as soon as we returned, because of the forecast of bad weather. The wind was freezing cold and as I was returning the ice pellets/rain started. Not pleasant to walk in. As soon as I entered the apartment the weather changed to a heavy snow fall. In less than ten minutes everything was white. Two snow ploughs charged down the road not long after.

The snow was interspersed by some rain so we didn’t get nearly as much snow as forecast. Lachie and I watched Shaun the Sheep movie. Sarah was having/ trying to have a nap.

She took Lachie to pick up Tim. Amelia slept while they were gone. I prepared vegetables for a frittata and made an apple sponge for dinner. After dinner and baths, we had Lachie’s usual truck races up and down the lounge/ passage way, which makes conversation almost impossible. The lady who lives one floor below must be saving up for carpet for this apartment. The noise of the truck wheels on the wooden floor is VERY loud.
