The Day: July 1, 2010The Occasion: Canada Day and the first anniversary of the conceptualisation of my blog, North of Vancouver.
The Company: Good, Morrie and Em - no, very good!
The Weather: Fair to Cool, lots of cloud, little sun. A few sprinkles, summer continues to hide her face.
The Colour: Red, red and white, red and black, just red.
The Activity: The seabus across the water to downtown. Mingle with the throngs, enjoy Canada Day and finally see the Olympic cauldrons. When lit, we can see the flame from our apartment across the water, now to see it up close. We didn't get to make it downtown during the Olympics. The one day we did try, the line-up for the seabus was a two-hour wait. Instead we went back up the hill, made a cup of tea and watched the Olympics on TV.
Lunch: Our friend, Lin's excellent chicken quesadillas, enjoyed sitting on the sidewalk, among the throngs. She and her hubby, Tommo, had a stand selling the best Mexican quesadillas and fruit bowls.
Fun: Em and I having the Canadian Maple leaf imprinted on our cheeks.
Best Laugh: Telling Morrie that I have had requests to continue my blogs about Brooks, the bird, because she has become so popular. In fact, she's the most popular personality on North of Vancouver. Morrie, puzzled, asked, "You mean, no-one's asked for more stories about that crazy coot, Morrie?" "No," I replied, "you don't bite enough!"
