Last night, I was downstairs and noticed that Richard from the suite below me had replaced the lighting in the fish tank in the common room and the fish glittered, so I went for my camera.... Results below.
I slept almost 12 hours and decided I better take advantage of a decent 5C day and get out on the Gio...
I went to unplug the Regal and stopped.... the squirrel had discovered my sunflower seeds so I watched him for a bit. I will have to spread some more soon....
I returned my last Mark Greaney book to the Library because Don would not commit to reading it. He is such a frustrating guy.
There was supposed to be a big "Winterval" event on 104 St starting at 3pm, but there was almost nothing happening at 2:55pm... One guy was giving away maple syrup chilled in snow/ice on sticks, and one lady was giving away hot chocolate. A few fires smelled really good, and some music was getting set up in a vacant lot. I got a free green Heineken toque, so it wasn't a wasted stop. Some fake ice sculptures looked good enough to photograph though...
I continued on to Bob's to give him a tin of Watkin's ointment that I never use, and he was needing... It is effective, but the heavy menthol smell is a bit of a nuisance.
On 102 Ave, a guy who usually has a lot of Oiler flags, etc. on his deck had a fancy mural painted on his fence! I doubled back to get a picture, and later spent a long time cleaning it up.. See below...
Because I was only a block away, I stopped in at Vinnie's Treasure Shoppe. They always have awesome furniture, etc for sale. My probhlem is, for everything I want to buy, something has to go from my apartment... It is always a case of "need vs want"...
I stopped off at the nearby liquor store where I bought the bottle of cheap "Crush" Cabernet last Sunday and walked out with 4 more bottles to use for Christmas Cheer. As wines go, it is actually one of the best I have tasted in a long time.
A block away I met a man and his young daughter at the corner, said Hi, and the man said his daughter wanted a ride on the Gio, so I took her around the block! They were both very appreciative!
Then I plugged in my Gio because I don't leave for 3 weeks yet and hopefully might get a couple of more outings before then.
As I was writing this, one of the residents, named Murray, knocked on my door to see if I would want to sell my Regal... his daughter needs a decent car... Sorry Murray... Not for a good while yet...
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
