Last night was Canada night at the Celebration of Light, the fireworks competition over English Bay. The show was spectacular. It was choreographed to the sound track from the movie Godzilla. No, no, it really was good. The music was better than I thought it would be. One of the participants in the Canada display was Archangel Fireworks from Winnipeg. Yes, there are a few good things about Winnipeg. They did a great job. I'm working at LD this Saturday so I'll miss the US entry. But I will get to see the China entry next Wednesday and the finale on August 2. I'm having a little fireworks party that night. Should be fun, fun, fun.
I guess I'd better enjoy the sight of English Bay while I've still got it. The building next door is right up to the bottom of the fireworks barge, so if they add any more storeys I'll lose my view. So sad. I think there will be one more storey.
But they are hard at work preparing the Tim Horton's downstairs. In a few short weeks I'll be able to go to Timmy's for my morning coffee and muffin. Yay!!!!!
Today I went to see the movie Wall e. It was an enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half. Very well done. Kudos to pixar once again.
More necklaces are ready to take around, so next week I'll be looking for more retailers. Hoping to get at least four more. So far no word from any of the new places on sales. It's hard to be patient.
Speaking of patience and angels, G-day is only 17 days away. Darling Mama is becoming uncomfortable. Some contractions and baby's head has dropped. Hang in there, Sweetie. It's worth all the discomfort.
Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. ~Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha
