New truck and dinner, and bee stings

Late yesterday we drove up to North Bay to surprise Mike and see his new truck that he picked up in the afternoon. The surprise might have been on us though if I had not called him on his cell phone nearer to North Bay. He was about to head south to Sundridge to give it a drive and show it off to us. Happy ending as we met him at his house, had a real good look and a few pictures and then off to the corner pub for a meal. I had bangers and mash as did Mike, and Harry had fish and chips. He is so very proud of his new vehicle - a dark irreidescnet blue colour. He bought the truck storage box for the back but he was given the wrong size as we could not put it on - so he'll have to retrun that and get the right one. This morning after a night of rain and pumping water ( not complaining at all!!) there were a few large tomato plants listing badly so in attempt to right them and tie them up I disturbed a hornets nest apparently and was swarmed and biten on the wrist several times before screaming and yelling into  the house - one had gotten up my sleeve and when I shoke it away it flew somewhere inside?? Anyway apparently I should not have made such a fuss as that is not how you handle bees or hornets, so I was told, and had to proceed with helping to tie up the tomaotes. I thought of you Cathy and how serious such an encounter would have been and thus  thankful for only a few painful bites.Today is the open festival downtown Sunflower Festival with music and booths - it is not raining right noiw so hope for the sake of the people organizing the festival, that it will be OK. We shall make the walk down for a look  once Harry returns from his garage sale rounds. Enjoy your weekend all, and take care - stay away from hornets nests!!!
