It was a good day. A lovely warm, sunny day - but not too hot. (Weather predictions of rain: wrong again.)
- Breakfasted at Kettleman's with
maaseru and
maaboroshi. Exceptionally good service. We ate our breakfast bagels outside, with coffee.
- After breakfast, we all went for a walk around the block - me with my crutches,
maaseru with her walker. Saw some amazing flowers on Second Avenue - especially some deep purple irises.
- My physical trainer Lynne drove me shopping - bought a few things at Loblaw's, and went to the Sunnyside Branch of the Ottawa Public Library to renew my card and pay my fine. (I never let a book get overdue - but when you break a limb, what can you do?) Then we ate lunch at my place, and I saw her photos of Tuscany.
She'd had a wonderful trip - but how could you not have a wonderful time in Tuscany? She'd toured the area by bicycle with her husband and friends: Pisa, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, and, of course, Florence. Lovely, lovely pictures. We agreed about the perfection of Tuscany: food, art, climate, friendly people, great gelato.
- I went to Tasia's with Harry for supper. We had a game of Scrabble - predictably, Tasia won - and then watched two episodes of Stingray, "Sometimes You Gotta Sing the Blues" and "Ancient Eyes". I always loved "Ancient Eyes" - because of the inclusion of Robert Vaughn in the cast, but also because it was a terrific story.
I love it that Ray, like Captain Jack Harkness, is a man without an identity.
