A birthday present 3 months early!

Ah! It's been such a great day so far!

Kyle's family left this morning (after making us a tasty breakfast!) to go to visit the Science Centre. Merely minutes after they left Ben and Kendric picked us up for an afternoon out.


It hadn't occured to any of us that it was Sunday, and the restaurants we frequen
t are usually pretty small. We must have tried five or six different restaurants before we found one that was open. We did get to enjoy some great Dim Sum at the Four Seas.

Afterwards, at my suggestion, we headed over to Dessarts Sweets to spoil ourselves. I got myself a bag of Jelly Bellies full of the best flavours**. I haven't had a day that felt more like summer to me so far, I think. We sat outside Dessarts while we finished our ice cream. I can't think of a better way to spend a nice, just warm enough, sunny summer day; sitting, enjoying an ice cream with friends.

Our next stop was Tramps. Kyle bought me the chess set I've been bugging him about for so long.

It's TRANSFORMERS! Yay. I think it will look better with a simpler, nicer chess board* but this will do for now!! So this ads something new for me to try to do: actually learn chess.

Finally was Comic Readers. I didn't see much that I wanted that Tramps didn't have, but I did find little Domo-kun. I do enjoy strange stuffed animals, so I think this is a good addition to my collection***.

Kyle does not quite trust Domo-kun.


* eventually
** BUTTERED POPCORN!
*** and something I've been meaning to get for a while.
