Today I did a quick trip to near the Rotary market to pick up a few more of my favourite grooming items, folding brushes for $1 each.
Then I walked over past Parque Calderon and heard some great classical music being played on an electric piano so I looked over to see my friend, Peter from St. Paul, Alberta regaling the crowd with his dexterous digits. It kinda made me feel proud to see a fellow Canadian giving something back to the community. The crowd was just in awe.
Then I made it over to the Black Olive cafe with dreams of a tourtiere tasting still on my brain. The thought of French-Canadian meat pies at Christmastime is overwhelming. I was however disappointed that Melissa had not managed to get all the ingredients necessary yet so I will have to return again tomorrow. She says that she has several requests for them so she will be making a large batch. If I like her version, I intend to purchase about 4 pies.
So, instead I decided to have crepes, but in the fashion to which I am accustomed, sweet and delicious. The crepes are huge and very filling for $2 each but I had the first one with butter and brown sugar. The second one I had with mora jam. If I have a complaint about their crepes, it is that they are stingy with the fillings. Anyway, they were very good this way and I will no doubt return at other times for more.
Next was a trip to Monte Sinai Hospital to visit my friend Barry who fell off an uneven sidewalk, broke a hand and dislocated a shoulder. The room was full of people so I didn't stay too long but Barry was having fun holding court with everyone present.
The sun was blazing hot and I was smart enough to have worn a hat today. November and December are just the best months here for weather.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al

| Peter is a distinctive character around town and has a big heart |
 |
| We watch in envy as he tickles the ivories with ease |
 |

| Out comes a tiny squeegee |
 |
| It is quite an art to drag the squeegee in a circle |
 |
| Then they cut underneath to flip it |
 |
| First comes the butter that I requested.. |
 |
| I would have used about 4 times as much brown sugar, lol |
 |
| The next one is flipped and ready |
 |
| This one gets the mora jam treatment |
 |
| Only one last little piece, mmmmmm, sooooo good |
