Today I decided to ride the Canada Line, to see how it is and to head to #3 Rd Superstore. I have to admit... it's pretty nice. Super wide cars, stations that feel like mass transit stations, quick and smooth. It will make getting to the airport a lot easier, so long as I can get to one of those stations; those are a ways away.
I stopped in at the Salvation Army shop and found a nice mid-sized platter. It matches the dishes I favour and could be incentive for dinner parties (if ever I clear off my dining table again). I picked up a few tops and cardis at Superstore, which I'm sure is terrible of me, but I'm too economical sometimes. I go to the #3 Rd one because it's the biggest selection in the area and is its own store within the store. Lots of fun stuff. My ticket ran out, so I wandered into the Landsdowne Winners. I found some shoes for work and a pair of waterproof boots that could probably be helpful for Burnaby Mountain as the weather worsens this fall/winter. The airport route will have to wait a couple weeks for when I actually have to go there.
There's a pan of blackberry brownies cooling on the counter for brunch tomorrow. I went out picking with Rachel, Augusten and Lily yesterday and I picked about 2 litres from our favourite spot. I just keep jamming stuff into the freezer and hoping it stays frozen. People keep saying I should make jam, but I rarely use jam as it is and I'm not sure making jam is going to change that. I only just tucked into the peach jam I made over the long weekend, and can't imagine I'll be going through it very quickly.
It really feels like summer is ending. I'm starting to feel the weight of Deborah Kerr's words: "Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories." At this point I can only hope that I've squirrelled enough memories away to see me through. I have a sinking feeling I haven't.
