Snowy, sunny, happy day...

A really nice day.

Went to brunch at Baker St. with Catherine, maaseru and maaboroshi. And then to Chapters, where we browsed books for a very long time and I took a lot of notes and bought a few Christmas presents.

Then maaseru and I went for groceries at the Loblaw's at Rideau and Nelson, and we got some wonderful food but spent more than we collectively had and had to put $6.43 of it on a debit card. Blush.

Read some Torchwood fic. Napped. Made bread pudding. Watched Torchwood episode "Captain Jack Harkness" because Catherine had never seen it. (Hardship, right?)

Glad to hear you've been enjoying the day...and sorry we missed you at the party tonight. :-(

Yes - how was the party?

[dewline.livejournal.com]

Very lively. I recall at least a dozen in attendance off the top, and we had a very good time of it. I'm just sorry I had to bow out early due to my usual travel arrangements.

I spoke to a few people who were there, and they seem to have had a great time.

commodorified and I were at Chapters later this afternoon -- we probably just missed you (we went on the "Support Kyoto" march and then for lunch at a great Mexican place on Dalhousie St. near Clarence). Christmas presents were on my agenda, too.

I also had leftover bread this week, and made stuffing (to eat with chicken cutlets rather than a whole bird). It was easy to make, and tasted great, and was much better than the commercial mixes. I must remember to make it more often.

You don't need an excuse to watch "Captain Jack Harkness"!

Chapters and Mexican - what a nice combination!

I don't often have leftover bread because I don't often buy bread. And when do buy bread, I don't eat it fast enough that half of it doesn't get stale or mouldy. On the other hand - when I do have it, it's a huge treat! I also really love bread pudding. Having bread on hand is an excuse for that, too.

No, I don't need an excuse to watch "Captain Jack Harkness", and I have been known to watch it on my own - though I tend to prefer watching TV with someone, and I think I've made every one of my friends watch it by now. Still - a few of them might be up for a second round, hmm?

Seeing the trailers for series 2 Torchwood has made me want to watch series 1 all over again ahead of time. Just because I can.

Sigh. I wish I could have joined you for at least part of that.

As I mentioned to another OSFS friend of mine (Lyn), I was working last night and missed the party. (What I also added were the reasons why: the office party was picked to be the same night as the OSFS one; I was then told that too many other people have already booked off this time, so I couldn't; then said office party was cancelled [just last week] due to "lack of interest.")

Sounds typical!

OUCH! :-(
