A day on "the drive"

We took our car in for servicing so did our usual going to Commercial Drive.  Lunch at Nick's then wandering.  Morgan the cat was there doing the usual sleeping and no reaction to petting.  We were pleased to see her since she wasn't there the last couple of times we were on the "drive".   And pleased to see the  Canterbury Tales Bookstore was still in business.   We half expect to see our favourite bookstores out of business.  We picked up an Ian McEwan we didn't have,  "The Innocent".  The setting is Berlin when it was divided.  We wen't through Berlin when it was divided so I'm already interested in this story and McEwan usually doesn't disappoint.



Impossible to disturb!



This "Parklet" is new I think…hadn't noticed it before.   Nice space for people to sit.  It takes up a couple of parking spaces.
