"DH and I did gardening today and filled the second green bin, about 2 hours 45 mins and then had a nice bath" Glad to know you're keeping the love alive, Penguinsa! 🙌👏👍😂 (Although you may be breaking the rules of the thread...) 🤔😁
Miss, I'm glad your day was drama-free. Sounds like a lovely service!💐
Havoc had soccer today then I braved the crowds and took Havoc to a street festival in a suburb, Burnaby,
for a couple hours. The weather held and it was very enjoyable.
The restaurants, bakeries, cafes and delis all had stands on the sidewalks; other businesses had games for prizes; Police officers had their cars at the road closure blockades and offered kids a look at their cars and gave stickers and suckers (lollipops); the community policing tent was raising money for their Cops for Cancer campaign with an officer riding a stationary bike; there were musicians/singers/bands along the way; the fire station had a vintage firetruck, rescue truck and regular firetruck out for kids to climb on and take pictures with and a dunk tank out front that, by donation to the burn fund, you could try throwing a ball to dunk the firefighter; and a beer garden. The Italian market was hosting a bbq (and beer garden, too, I think) and there were a couple of bouncy castle type things and some games for kids. This is an annual event, so if anyone is visiting it's worth checking out.
Havoc is now flaked out after having had a snack when we got home, but before having dinner. Those little feet were put to the test today as we walked a lot.
Dinner was simple, but turned out remarkably well (if I do say so myself!): poached salmon (ginger, garlic, s&p, soy sauce, maple syrup); boiled new potatoes with butter, sour cream and chives and roasted cauliflower with Chinese 5 spice.
