Victoria

I'm back home, having spent a lovely and relaxing weekend with my grandmother in Victoria. I'm happy to report a lot of sleep, very little math, lots of scrabble, good food, a successful shopping trip, and a good time. 

Ferry to Victoria: SUN! For the first time in weeks it seems, the sun was really and truly out! No clouds, no fog, no lingering mist... and I spent the whole ferry trip lying outside in the sun, listening to music and daydreaming. The glasses came off, and I imagined that in the hour and a half it takes to get to Swartz Bay, my face would tan and the bags under my eyes would disappear. (Quite unsuccessful, but it was very enjoyable to try!)

At Grandma's: Scrabble galore, we played a total of 4 games, and both of us got to win! I also had a very interesting experience trying to teach her how to use her new cell phone. We ate yummy Japanese food, and had a good time trying to felt my new hat the old-fashioned way. (Success!)

Shopping Trip: In order to prepare for our up-coming trip to Ottawa for Easter, I got to help my grandmother shop of chocolate!! Very fun, especially since I got an ice-cream cone out of the whole business. I'm also very excited to report that I bought myself my first every pair of Birks!! I'm currently wearing them in the office in order to break them in (and show them off, of course!)

Trip home: Having done a total of 0 minutes of math all weekend, I decided to do some on the ferry home (the sun had already set anyway). Then, I was lucky enough to catch all buses quickly and got home before 10pm, which was simply marvelous, and now I have a bit of time to decompress before bed. It's a whole new week tomorrow!
