Happy Victoria Day Everyone!
In Canada, the celebration of Victoria Day occurs every year on Monday, prior to May 25th. It is the official celebration in Canada of the birthdays of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. Victoria Day was established as a holiday in Canada West (Now Ontario) in 1845, and became a national holiday in 1901. Before Victoria Day became a national Holiday, people had celebrated Empire Day , beginning in the 1890s as Victoria approached her Diamond jubilee in 1897.
Victoria, queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and empress of India was born on 24 May 1819. She ascended the throne after the death of her uncle George IV in 1837 when she was only 18. She ruled until her death in 1901 when her son Edward the VII became king of England. http://www.inglewoodcarecentre.com/history/victoria.htm Morning! |waves| I'll be celebrating Victoria Day by watching hockey tonight :D Sabres/Hurricanes Game 2 is on at 7:30 (OLN & INHD) & I'm having a couple friends over as usual (The Bitch is going to Bingo in Canada as part of her celebration) Other than that, I'm hating this diet & I'm almost all caught up on my TV watching |thumb |
Good Morning
I think yesterday was the first time I haven't posted during the entire day. My daughter has been going through some serious problems with her mother and her mother's side of her family. I have been there helping her and probably will be for a few more days. I will let you guys know everything when it is done. |
Good morning to all and Happy Victoria Day. I'm off to "stack cheese" :D

Morning all,
This is the start of a very short week at the office, only 3 days instead of the usual 5. So more time to get my blog up and running :) Going to see how a couple of Greeks play some cover songs this evening in the next town. Should be fun. Anyway, have a nice day all. |
Good morning world |waves|
Might have some more rain here today, which would be welcome. Aside from a few errands around town, it's all about the porn today. :) To all our brothers and sisters far up north, Happy Victoria Day, F*te de la Reine, Empire Day (original), May two-four weekend, The May Long Weekend, May Long, May Run, National Patriots Day (Journée nationale des patriotes) and F*te de Dollard. Wow... you folks sure have a lot of names for today (and you want to add Heritage Day or Citizenship Day?) Happy camping to all the Newfies and lots of porn dollars to all! Simon |
Good Morning All :)

Have a good day all, and happy Empire day as Simon said.
No dingo, thanks UW... Diets are good :D I know, I cannot even swallow bread so I am on corn flakes & milk most of the case and I hate it. Wish I could eat lots of fruits and vegetables, mmm. |boobies| |jackinthe |
Another work day. Still haven't decided if I'm riding my bike or driving. I guess I'll see how the weather is by the time I need to leave, since we suppose to get some much needed rain.
Have a fun Monday. |sun |
Mornin' y'all,
The stay inside season has arrived. 5 day forecast for temps in the 90s with typical gulf coast humidty. The price we pay for 60s and 70s all winter. |dizzy| The Wordpress/blogging lessons continue... |coffee is on, help yourself |
Morning all :)
Just a busy day of errands and work for me. Need toys? :D Who's turn is it to make the espresso? |
Hopefully the fine gasoline delivery people will return my call this morning. Both of the other fleet fueling companies said that this guy would do it no problem. I hadn't thought of a boat fuel delivery company to deliver fuel, but, hey, whatever works.
Other than that, finishing up the telephone interviews, hopefully will have someone hired by the end of the week. |
Morning all |waves|
Was a good weekend, but have tons to do today... Zoom zoom! Have a great day everyone...and crank out those sales |thumb |
Morning! It's looking like rain here also, but it's much needed. Have some shopping to do then to the porn!
Have a great day all! |
About to wrap up my work morning, so I can take a break and head over to the school. They are having Track & Field day today, and I need to go watch the munchkin compete. After that, I'll make a quick trip through the grocery store, then back home for a bit of work. Later today, I'm going to try to get the garden ready to plant. It's finally about dry enough to work the soil.

AHh, another fine day... well, at least it isn't raining, but it is all of 8C outside... and damp and cold and not nice... encourages me no end to stay home and work :)
Other than that I have about a million things to do, so I better get started :) Alex |
It's a beautiful day here too. Probably had the last rain of the season last night.
Got some new projects underway today so I'm going to be damn busy, but in a good way. :D Morning all |waves| |
Morning all. Overcast and windy with 70% chance of rain here today. Nice break from the hotter than hell weather of the past week. :D
We snapped this picture of our cat Loki yesterday, who appears to have a cereal fetish. Its a porn day today, so back to work. Have a great one all! |
Good morning all!! It looks like rain here in Vegas, which of course is very odd. Kids wanted to go swimming today too but I had to dissapoint them. Well back to making some money!! Have a good day!!
