With family visiting it was a good Easter. Two little girls aged two and four bought the house alive with laughter and a few tears. Guests are always a good excuse to visit local tourist attractions such as the Royal Tyrrell Museum, which I highly recommend if you are in the area.

April 29th found me eating toast and drinking tea at 3am as I got up to watch the royal wedding. Beautifully done from the trees in Westminster Abbey to the ceremony of two people so obviously in love. While still befitting the occasion and venue the wedding dress needed something more though.

On the dog front we have ended neurotic chocolate lab’s time out from the dog park; now that he realizes that seeing his sister go there without him is no fun his behaviour has been much more sociable. He was also very good with the children at Easter but I think that was because they proved to be a source of food.

Currently reading Lisa Napoli’s Radio Shangri-La: What I Learned in Bhutan, the Happiest Kingdom on Earth. Enjoyed the new Upstairs, Downstairs 3-part series; it did seem a bit rushed and could have been more in-depth especially when it came to the characters. Lot of good shows on Sunday night (Game of Thrones) so I hope that they re-run the Borgias as I am not catching it.

On the business side my websites were among many hacked into on and around Easter. While I am not naïve when it comes to business, as it always brings with it varying degrees of risk I cannot fathom what is gained by damaging the work of those of us who are not corporations. The burden hackers put on the funds, staff and resources of solo entrepreneurs is enormous.

The snow has gone from our corner of Alberta and now we can think about spring home renovations and flowers. On Wednesday I am off to a conference for ‘established business women’ so I will let you know how that goes. I am looking forward to a nice hotel room and bed to myself, hope I don’t sleep in!
