fajrdrako | Wednesday... (Reply)

An interesting day.

Odds and ends from today:

I walked in the rain for the first time since... November, I guess. Not heavy rain. Just... rain. Drizzle at lunchtime, more rain later, after supper. I suppose it will all be frozen again tomorrow. This weather is so much easier to cope with than temperatures of minus thirty.
I took a bus for the first time since ... before Christmas. My bus pass is good until yjr end of March. Yay! (Well, it's the least they can do, after abandoning us for two months.)
The bus I took was a new one - the #12. Which I suppose replaces the #2 east of the Rideau Centre. I Do Not Approve, but they don't care about that.
After mI went to the Sony store and looked at their e-readers. Specifically, the PRS505 and the PRS700. I love them both, but only need one. The PRS700 is spiffier, but costs more. Decisions, decisions.
maaseru suggests I should study French at Algonquin rather than Alliance Française. Lisa liked Alliance Française. Alliance Française is easier to get to. Self-study would cost easier and I see ways to do it, if I'm disciplined enough.
Dinner was at the Bento Sushi place on Rideau, which we love. Me, maaseru, maaboroshi, and Yolande, who's leaving Ottawa tomorrow. We shared the Tempura rolls, the Fantasy rolls, and the Rocky Mountain rolls. And salmon. Ate every scrap and wanted more, so we went to the Elgin Street Diner for dessert.
Over dinner, maaboroshi drew aprons. Afterwards, I looked apron patterns up online. Found some gorgeous fabric in my closet. Not sure how much I feel like sewing, though. I really like the cobbler's aprons, including the one here with a little skirt on it. But what I really want is one of those gorgeous old full long aprons like nurses used to wear. I have white fabric, too.
