Today we went for a bike ride through the river valley, and ended up at Transend for one of the best coffees I ever had. On the way home hit Hardcore Mountain Bike Shop on 82 Ave and helped them celebrate their 20th anniversary with a BBQ. After 25+ years I finally got a rack…
In the Neighbourhood…
The usual 12 block stroll with an annex of a few extra blocks. We ended up at Wild Earth for a tea time treat. In fact, tea and our blackcurrent cream cake is awaiting so I must bid you adieu.
Legislative Grounds
My craving for lemongrass chicken with vermicelli noodles dictated that I drop Michael off at lawnbowling so I’d have the vehicle to pick up my order. Doans is truely the best place for lemongrass chicken. Had to pick his nibs back up, and in doing so, we walked around the Legislative grounds together. The garden…
Royal Lawn Bowling Club
I needed a walk tonight. This morning I took a strip out of a young man at the bus stop who was spitting. He spat on the sidewalk. He spat on the road. He did this many times. I tried to ignor this, but I was beginning to wonder how much spit one person can…
Walking a Bit More
Today is did something unusual! I took breaks at work! Two of them! And both of them had me outside stretching my legs. Did rotations around Canada Place. Had to dodge balloons of cigarette smoke since it seems EVERYONE is smoking these days, but still, I was outside. MDW and I had our usual 12…
Local Block
Back home – zipped around the neighbourhood. 12 blocks. Yawn. Will fill this space with a picture of Shaggy. I fell in love with this dog at Willow and Nicco’s the other day. He was fun and affectionate.
Calgary, Continued
The walk started in Glenmore Park, my old haunting ground – that’s it in the picture above. It was blustery and windy. We completed our walk in Stanley Park, a nice stroll up hill, followed by a nice stroll down hill, avoiding some drunk revelers with a BBQ pit, lamented at the state of the…
Calgary
35 minute walk through Britannia. Can’t get over the demolishing of stately older homes, and the influx of botox and implant type housing. The house in the image below is next door to Michael’s mum’s place. That lovely stone work? Fake! Look at the box. Sad isn’t it? Took a late night drive, which had…
Coney Island
Our lack of sour citrus slices motivated us to walk to Coney Island Sweets on Whyte avenue on Friday night. The avenue is full of all things interesting in the early hours of the evening. Our stroll took us along the river valley and we could hear and see the crowd at Telus field for…
Grrrr
Not a good day. Did the walk, however, and it was theraputic. The 12 block route was on the menu, but to spice things up we did it during the brief windy, rainy, thundery storm we had this evening. Got soaked, but it felt nice!
