Something / Anything

As a late birthday present for Sarah we had a Day Of Doing Stuff. She met with Ashley for Broadway Chorus organization while I went for my walk on the Sun Run course. (Feet to legs: we hurt. Legs to feet: we hurt too. Feet & legs to brain: will you knock that the hell off?) Then we:
  • got a co-op car for the first time in months
  • raided Safeway
  • put the car back and sauntered along Robson
  • investigated options for new mobile phones
  • made a decision but couldn't implement it because of stock shortages
  • wandered further down to Hon's but it was sardines in there
  • walked back up to Red Chicken on Bute and had a very satisfying meal - chicken teriyaki for Sarah, an enormous plate of spicy BBQ chicken for me.
Brilliantly, they gave me disposable plastic gloves with which to eat the chicken. I ended up with clean hands but chicken-stained face / drink cup / plates / cutlery / table. Sarah only narrowly escaped chicken stains herself. I felt like a three-year-old at one of those Paint A Mug shops. But in a good way.

So that was nice, and the Giant Bleaky Monster has receded somewhat.

Now we are freshly clean after Hot Tub, and I'm considering writing the last song for 1+1. I'll let you know how that goes.

Awesome picture taken on Robson this evening, must remember to upload it next time we bother to plug the phone in.
