A day at the office?

Or maybe not?
What to do when the office is still without power after the storm, well, what about having an early lunch down town with your friends!
So while waiting for updates on the progress of fixing the power outage we had lunch, did some shopping, got confirmation that it would probably be 5pm before the power was back (but keep updated, just in case it might be back earlier), more shopping, nice long trip to Chapters (the bookstore), then dinner at Pi pizza! Really nice day in sunny summer-warm SJ!
At 7:45 pm power was back in the office, so guess we can go to work tomorrow!

Down town after the storm!

The sun is out, and it's nice and warm after the tropical storm!
The streets down town are closed off, and the cleaning crew are doing their job!

A faithfull servant!

This poor flag is now almost half gone! By the end of the storm the left side of the leaf was gone too!

She is here!

It's hard to take a picture of the wind, but it was strong gusts, hurricane force gusts, so my little house shock, the glasses in my cupboard and the mirror in the bathroom rattled, and I was a little uneasy on the sofa....!

Leslie is on her way!

The lucky town of Fortune on the Burin Peninsula was where she hit land!
On the Avalon Peninsula we only got winds up to 130 km/h when she came to us around 10 o'clock.

Quiet before the storm!

And not just any storm, Tropical Storm Leslie is coming for a visit, with hurricane force winds!
So it's time to save anything that you might have outdoors before the wind and the rain is setting in tonight!

Shopping for the Softball tournament

Amanda, Melissa and myself went shopping at CostCo for our annual KKC Softball Tournament!
Shopping food for 60 hungry players! Will 90 hamburgers be enough...?

Painting!

Amanda showing off my new painting! Jelly Bean Square!
And yes, the houses actually look like this in St John's!

Team building at the Bungalow

The business team finally had a well deserved team building!
Fun evening in Bowring Park!

Fog?

Landed to sunny SJ. But the next day things were back to normal....
