No blog post yesterday I’m ashamed to realize. I have notes for it. I’ll post it sometime today, but last night was a bad night for writing.
There’s something about waiting 45 minutes in the grocery store in Tsawwassen for a tow truck driver to show up to boost your dead car, then finding the Massey Tunnel down by a lane, detouring to the Alex Fraser bridge (which was actually good for the purposes of recharging the car’s battery) that kills motivation.
We put away the groceries, poured a whisky (Talisker 18 year) and went to bed.
It wasn’t all bad: the river is pretty at night. Traffic was really light over the bridge. It’s the second time I’ve crossed the Alex Fraser which is a treat because I think it’s a beautiful structure. I’m coming to love bridges the longer I live here. Yesterday morning I got off the bus in South Granville and walked to work from there, just so I could walk over the Granville Street bridge.
Even so, last night’s adventure was time consuming. Thrifty Foods, when will you open a store in Vancouver proper? Preferably Marpole area. Even Kerrisdale would do.
We’ve decided to stick to Safeway at Oakridge from now on. And we’ll remember to turn off the lights while we shop.
Also: I need to get out and photograph some bridges.
