Ecuador got lucky and their late subsitutes came to play and they surprised Germany 2-1. Somehow this puts them into the next round as well... Go Ecuador....!!

I charged up all my batteries for both D5600's in preparation for my wedding photo gig Saturday. The Reception venue has been changed to inside a community hall because of predicted rain....

Following the game, I went to The Common for their Thursday Happy Hour $12.99 Fish'n'Chip special. Again, it did not disappoint! I also got a good rapport with my young server, Sodia, who wanted to see some of my photos and we discussed her banking problems with RBC. I really like the place, the specials, and the food is really good!

Tonight, I have to move the Regal and the Gio so they can clean the parking lot and the garage in the morning...

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.

When we get a nice day, 25C and sunny, we must get out and enjoy...

After chores and toilette, I jumped on the Gio to the Library to return 5 books, and pick up 3 more Kathy Reichs books. I was hoping a 4th would be ready as well, but no, ... and, of course, it is the next one in the series to read in order.... Drat...

The "Works" Festival was happening now in Churchill Square, so I did a quick tour. Apparently people are supposed to sign or doodle on the manequins, but I am not into that. Plus, there was very little of any interest.... And I slid by the legislature on the way home...

I was back in time to watch Canada play badly for 80% of the game and expect to win against Switzerland at the World Cup. Our coach waited way too long to make good subsitutions and we lost 2-1, but we do move on to the next round,... which is a first....

Then I had the hard decision to make salad or go back out in the sunshine for Wednesday Wings... Sunshine won and I went to 2 of my favourite places. But Hudson's have raised their prices 66% to $10, and the Pint wanted $9..... I passed on both.

One of the residents told me before I left that No Frills had T-bone steaks for $11 lb, and showed me the huge size of them. Naturally, they were sold out before I got there....

And I didn't feel like running to On The Rocks for $8 wings, so I came home and made my salad..... Oh well.........

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
