Saturday...

For breakfast, maaseru and I went to Bobby's Table. Now, Bobby's Table is a relatively new restaurant, inspired by Nate's, a popular deli that had been near Rideau and King Edward for fifty years. I often ate there when I worked at the Ottawa Little Theatre. Best cheap breakfast in town. When it closed, some of the staff opened this new place, which we hadn't gone to yet.

It was smaller, busy, with a similar menu and slightly (but only slightly) higher prices. A worthy successor, I'd say, but I have yet to try their smoked meat.

After that, another trip to Costco.

After that, I met Lynn for coffee at Bridgehead, and bought millet for the little feathered guys.

Then I went to Tasia's to watch episodes of Forever Knight with Beulah, Tasia, gamergrrl, Jim, and Andrea. I'd seen a couple of episodes of Forever Knight when it was first on, including a pilot that had Rick Springfield playing Nick Knight. I wasn't impressed and didn't watch much more; only one episode, I think, that featured Joan of Arc in a flashback. I wondered what the point was of a vampire that didn't act like a vampire. Some of my friends loved the show - and they loved Lacroix, the antagonist, the vampire who sired Nick Knight. I expected that I'd really like Lacroix.

So I saw Lacroix for the first time today, and wasn't impressed in the least.

Still, it was fun to watch, and I did a great many arm exercises while watching at Tasia's. Her living room sofa has an arm that is just perfect for the arm-straightening exercise. I should visit her more often.

We had a lovely dinner with two pumpkin pies, one of them being the first pumpkin pie Tasia has ever made. I encouraged her to make more. It was delicious.

When we left, there was a shock in store: snow. Heavy, wet, thick snow. First snow of the season. Pretty... but cold and wet and I felt unprepared.
