Living Vicariously

 That was the word given to me as Josh  left for Canada.

I think I will leave the real world  adventure for anyone else brave enough to cope with the cold, and see Canada  through his eyes. This week in Mackenzie the temperatures have dropped to -20 Celsius, 4 layers, 2 pairs of socks and hand warmers that stay warm all day inside gloves.

Late afternoon sun north of Mackenzie.

Snow tyres, 3.6 litre,  and still a bit skiddy in  parts on the early 5.30 a.m. drive to the work site.Driving in falling snow is something different, no matter what direction, it seems as though it is always coming through the windscreen, at least that's what I thought some years ago when we drove to Wellington, snwo was falling at sea level there.

Meantime these beautiful Faux Leather panels are waiting for some serious consideration and ample time to sew carefully. This is something entirely new for me, so I need to concentrate , use the Teflon foot, and roll the seams, no pins.

I have plain vinyl to go with these, and a new friend in the South Island and I have shared some of the plain metres,  we  will meet in January near Dunedin.

Quotation of the day from Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.,

A mind that is stretched by a new experience 

can never go back to its old dimensions.
