I would have never thought this would have happened to me...

I'm a self confessed sweet tooth. However, for some odd reason, ever since the weekend I've not been able to manage to drink my regular brew! It seems that it's suddenly become too sweet! How could this be? I usually take 2 sugars in my tea and now I'm cut down to one... What's a girl to do? How could such a thing happen? Is this a symptom of old age? Is it all down hill from here?

Our travellers have departed back to the land of Canadia, lets just hope they take this chilly weather with them! Darrell reports that it's minus 20 Celsius in Ottawa so we shouldn't feel so bad here!

11 more sleeps till I depart for Canadia... feeding extra mouths has severely depleted my bank account so I'm again accepting donations!

My permanent contract is due on my desk in the next few days. So strange in the wake of all the layoffs here in the last two weeks... I almost feel guilty, but not quite. If it was my time to go, I would have gone.
