Insurgent movie weekend!　映画の週末！

We watched the first movie in the series at home last night and today we are heading to see this one...looks good! I saw the first one on the big screen last year in the UK and am really looking forward to the second! ダイバージェントという映画がこのシリーズの一番目。あれを夕べ、家で見た。(私は去年、イギリスでお母さんと見た）。今日、二番目を見る予定です。インサージェントという映画で超楽しみ！本も楽しかった！

Y's birthday bear...

I meant to put this up last week...Y's birthday bear...I wonder if she got it...

友達に誕生日プレゼントを投稿し忘れた。2月に別の友達に日本へ持っていてもらった。Ｙさんに渡してくれたかな。。。可愛いのでまだ持っているかも！

The opposite of my day...

I need more days like this...

Just can't keep us away...

We had Vietnamese food twice this week...apparently we are hooked!

Lara's noodle dish was full of meat...

...but mine had lots of veggies and spring rolls!

Walk and transit commute

I started the day with a delightful walk through our blooming community garden...

We even have extra beds this year...

I walked past some Canadian geese who didn't care I was there...

Over to Production station...I guess I was early--this was the scene at 6:50!

It did get slightly busy as the SkyTrain pulled in.

And we're off...

The doors closed as I got off at Brentwood station

I really like the modern look of the Brentwood station...

A short 20-minute walk to work...made easy by the daypack. Sometimes it's all about the gear

Home-made Ethiopian food

I got a bee in my bonnet last night and made Ethiopian food from scratch! The injera is never going to be as good as it should be, but I don't have any teff, so this was OK. I had two types of shiro: spicy with tomato and also a garlic-onion non-spicy flavour.

Didn't turn out too bad for a vegan dish ;-)

It tastes way better than it looks...trust me...

トゥモローランドを見た　Tomorrowland--the movie

We went to see a Disney movie last night. It was visually very impressive, particularly in the first half, but the second half kind of dissolved into a bit of a childish adventure movie. Too bad...
夕べ、映画館に行って来た。見た映画はゴージ・クルーニーが出ていて、最初の半分は素晴らしいｃｇがあって、感動した。最後の半分は残念ながらストーリーが何か足りなかった。ちょっと子供っぽくて残念だった。

Ender's Game--the book　エンダーのゲーム

Finally reading this--much better than the movie so far! 今読んでいる本です。映画はもう見たけど本はやっぱり映画よりずっといいです。

Tangent Cafe

We went out for Thirsty Thursday drinks last night and had an absolute blast. I biked over there--30minutes which earned me some of the calories I then consumed!

We couldn't sit outside because it was full--next time.

The menu is great: $6 beers and lots of healthy food (we had the mussels, the roti and lentil curry, the beet salad, and the fried calamari). Oh, and the lime cheesecake--but we shared it all, so that's good.

New biking gloves!

Well, this is not about food, but it is about something very small...I got new biking gloves--they are fabulous! I have full-hand gloves but it is too hot for that. These let my fingers breathe, and it doesn't hurt that they are a gorgeous colour! ;-D

Why are all my posts about food?

Highlight of my week: no-sugar-added mango bubble tea! Heaven! And I had to walk 30 minutes with a friend to pick it up...and another 30 minutes back to work. This might have to become a new weekly habit.

Back from a long weekend in the US

We are back after a LOT of driving! We left Friday night at about 3:30pm and stopped at 10:30pm in Lake Oswego, Oregon. We were too tired to keep driving, even though we were only about 90-minutes from our destination. Saturday and Sunday were spent in Eugene and Monday was spent driving back. Highlight of the trip was obviously seeing friends, but I also enjoyed an almond milk frozen yoghurt!

On the drive back yesterday, luckily the traffic was relatively light, until we spent almost an hour in traffic at the border trying to get back into Canada. Oh, well...it was a lovely weekend, and we finished up with sushi in New West...

This is how my week went...

Sigh...

Wednesday already?

My trivial, but appropriate, thought for the day...

Tuesday's post--catch up: Woman in Gold

I have been so busy that the blog tends to fall down my priority list...so sorry...
I did see a good movie over the weekend: Woman in Gold with Helen Mirren...very impressive stuff!

Slow, sunny Sunday...ゆっくりとした日曜日

教はゆっくりとした日曜日だった。晴れの一日だったので朝に散歩をした。行方は近くの中華料理屋さんで朝ごはんはちょっと面白かった。食べてから帰りの30分はちょっとつらかったけどがんばった。

Today was a slow and sunny Sunday. We got up at about 8:30 and headed out for a nice long walk to the local Dim Sum place. Breakfast was a bit unusual but it fueled the walk back up the hill.

Fabulous new game...すばらしいゲーム

We had a great day--kayaking, picnic, and then a fabulous new game...今日は最高だった。今朝から久しぶりの大掃除！それで、友達とカヤックをしてからピックニック。その後家に帰って、友達と4時間難しいボード・ゲームをやっちゃった！楽しかった。

Wonderful wonderful day with some of my favourite people...今日はすばらしい友達と素敵な一日。。。
