Always something new.

Yesterday David had an optometrist appointment at the Manitoba Clinic.  We came home down McDermot, where there has been a lot of construction.  Most of this involved creating a dedicated bicycle lane.  When we came to intersections with stop lights, I was surprised to see an dedicated  bicycle stoplight, built right into the traffic lights.  Neat!

This morning I went to a 3 hour workshop at a local quilting store.  My head was spinning after the first hour ( The cup of hi octane Tim's coffee they served prior to class may have had something to do with that.  They also served cake, and it wasn't budget store cake).  The instructor did not stop talking, at a quick pace, and with a very strong South African accent, though the whole three hours.  Just about everything she said was worth listening to.  Well worth the money I spent, but even more so when I made a purchase and got 20% off as well as a $10 shop credit. The workshop itself had only cost $15. Time very well spent, but I've been left exhausted.  It's been a lot of years since I was exposed to such an intense learning experience.  I felt for the instructor, as she had to repeat the performance two more times during the day.

Had coffee with my friend Gail today.  She had on a very nice outfit.  She doesn't always take that much care of her appearance, which made the whole thing a pleasant visit.

Tomorrow, I have to take a new set of sale items out to Selkirk, as the gift shop is having a full turn over of stock, as they do three times a year.  I'm also taking a full supply of stock for Gail, as she is at St. Norbert market all day, and I've been asked to pick up the out-going stock for a third woman.  so that will take up a chunk of my time.  But then I have nothing scheduled until next weekend--which is shaping up into a real busy four days.
