piranhaha. actually accomplished some things. like depositing the latest checque that arrived from one of our clients (wow, the exchange rate is really not going in our favour right now). also dropped the zip.ca movies into the box; let's see how long it'll take this time. i think i'll keep notes on that after last time's 2 week delay between them email me that they had sent one, and it arriving here).
then we went bookstore browsing. had lunch at lila's bakery (good soup, uninspired crab cake (not, as previously mispelled "crap cake"; it wasn't that bad), to-die-for crème brulée and raspberry cream cheese muffin), and more bookstore browsing. they tore down an entire block on commercial street, which appears to have lost us two bookstores, *grump*. that's the site for the new nanaimo centre, which is supposed to "revitalise downtown". with a skyscrapy hotel and conference centre? uh huh. we'll see. i am not particularly invested in this town; i had forgotten all about them doing this.
and last but not least, picked up my latest powells order from the drugstore.
and now onto watering the plants, and the day is done.
