Vivien and a busy day...

• Went to the gym; got measured. It went well. Some days are easier than others.
  
• Met gamergrrl and Tasia for lunch at Sushi 88. Had their lunch sashimi dish; as nice as one might expect. And wakame salad as appetizer.
  
• Went to Ottawa U to return library books, and made notes on Court, household and itinerary of King Henry II (1878).
  
• Met up with friends at the Wild Oat to meet their one-month-old daughter, Vivien, who is as adorable as can be. Big, wide, thoughtful eyes; she loved staring at the window - or was it the lights? I held her for a while. She dozed a little, but didn't really want to sleep. She was too busy observing.
  
• Worked on getting ready for my trip to Turkey - sorting notes for my talk, planning what to pack, and so on. Copied books onto my eReader, enough to keep me reading for a month even if that was all I was going to. How many hours will I be on that plane, anyway?
  
• Had supper with Pim and maaseru: fish fingers (to steal the phrase from Doctor Who), eggplant and rice. Watched White Collar and Copper.
