Sunday February 15th 2009.

I've had such a nice Sunday today. The kind of Sunday that makes everything OK; involving key ingredients such as secret coffee drinking and french toast, book reading and beach walks, and chocolate shopping and tea. The day still holds treasures for me, since I have cooking in a clean, clean kitchen in my future. All in all, thus far, today has been good for my soul.
Let me elaborate:

This is an awesomely-shaped tree on the way to the bus stop. I think the sign/tree combination looks all fifties and whatnot. This photograph also illustrates the fantasticness of the weather today.
This is a statue Debbie and I came across on our off-road venture to the beach. It was infront of an autoparts garage which was odd.

This is False Creek/English Bay in nice weather, not at night time.

The Granville Street Bridge, which we got to know during yesterday's trip to the library.

Me and my Starbucks cup (ssshhhh)

Debbie and the Burrard Bridge

The Seabus pier with English Bay and the mountains in the background. There's probably been photos of this up here before but I don't think that view's going to get old anytime soon.

Debbie all wrapped up, reading on the beach.

The Inukshuk statue, English Bay

The tree on the top of the skyscraper at English Bay (at the top of the green part of the centre building)

Back to work tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. I think I've pretty much learned all that I'm going to at Steeps and it's starting to get a bit repetitive. I think I'm going to ask Pierre for only 4 days a week after the next few already-scheduled weeks. It's not that I have loads of plans but I enjoy my time off and should be able to afford rent on 4 days a week.

I also need to put more time into considering what I'm doing come May. I've been speaking to Jenn and Ben and they want me to go visit them in South America, they'll be in Chile in April and Argentina in May and I'd prefer to go to Chile but don't want to go in April so I might see where they're going to be in late May/June. It'd be something to do I guess.

I have my referees reports now so I can take the next step in applying for the MSc but I need to see what that next step is and get both the references in the same format.

Hmm...

I've just realised I'm sitting in the dark, so am going to go and turn on the lights, and maybe the heating too.

Take it easy x
