Last Friday happenings

BlogPostSat26Sept09
21.50 pm Friday evening. Sorry I don’t have photos of this evening except on my Quicksnap Fuji which will have to be developed when I return to the States. It has been absolutely delightful. The whole day. Tonight especially since Kathy and I spent the dinner hour at the Fishy Fish Café by the pier again – my dinner was a vegetarian one of risotto with a whole bunch of other stuff mixed in, delightful salad, potatoes on the side, of course, and ended with a Baby pavlova with strawberries and cream and coffee. The waiter informed us that decaffineated coffee has formaldehyde used in the process of doing the decaffination – does anyone know if that is really true? We believed him and had regular coffee – except that it is anything but regular – it is SUPER coffee – and I’m not even a coffee drinker. All of this occurred along with a delightful bottle of wine and lots of fun, camaraderie and photos, etc. A truly delightful evening to end Kathy’s visit here. She leaves about noon tomorrow. Believe me, my experience here would have been far less without her visit!
So, the winding down begins.
An exciting event this afternoon – a wedding a St. Multose – with the Road Train all decorated with ribbons matching the bridesmaids’ dresses colors (aqua and purple) and loads of people pouring out of the church and into the road train and going somewhere to celebrate – free champagne on the road train for such events – a wave from the pastor to me as I observed from my stoop outside the door – altogether a fun thing observing the loading of the train and getting the train started back into the traffic again. There’s a Michael Jackson event occurring tomorrow night and the town is overflowing with people and vehicles to attend that.
