What a difference a day makes!


Woke up to blue skies and sunshine and relatively warm temperature.  After all the wind and rain yesterday it's great to see the passing parade of joggers, walkers, cyclists, sailboats, rowers...all enjoying this lovely day.

We did take advantage of the bad weather yesterday to see Lincoln...wow...what a performance by Daniel Day-Lewis.  We loved the movie.

One thing that isn't a bargain in the desert is sushi and Japanese  food.  So,  we went to Tanpopo for lunch and had their $6.50 lunch special.  I had the chicken teriyaki and Jim had the beef.   Along with 8 pieces of California roll,  mixed tempera including 3 shrimp,  miso soup,  fruit and salad and hot tea.  What a deal and a perfect lunch on a miserable day.

And then Jim went to his favourite thrift store on Denman and picked up The Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature for a buck.  Looks brand new...list price $79.99.
