Sunny good Friday

Starting off with some good old fish and chips down by the historical but now touristy fishing village of Steveston (where I grew up!). This place opens seasonally do has just been back in business the last week or so with the brilliantly sunny weather that we have been having. In a fit of blasphemy, I decided to have a fish burger and I am not sure it was a wise decision. Basically I just don't think I really like fish and chips!

Then it was off downtown in the afternoon for a bike ride around Stanley Park, which involved a good hour long intermission at the Tea House where I had a nice cocktail and Keith had some pale ale.

And then off to Marble Slab Creamery where you pick 1) a flavour of ice cream. 2) a "mixin" like smarties or cookie dough or Oreo cookies or kit kats and then they put it all onto a slab and chop it all up and mix it in together. As recommended by Lisa, I had the birthday cake flavour ice cream with Oreos and cookie dough mixed in. Delicious ! Top it off with a white chocolate dipped waffle cone and it was a perfect way to top off a sunny day !

Oh and then I had two bellinis at milestones complete with little plastic moose!

Chipmunk face

Sorry for the lack of posts. Let me try to make up for it with a real oogly but amusing pic of myself.

Chipmunk face

Oooh yea. That's me after 4 wisdom teeth pulled. An hour in the dentist chair with just local anaesthetic, enough time to watch one episode of The Mentalist (unfortunately the space channel was not showing stargate or star trek) and then off I went drooling to the chemist for some painkillers and antibiotics.

A week later I am in pretty much tip top shape!
