Monday, November 3/2008

Errand day. And off to see Mum at the nursing home, taking the customary bag of sweets. Winnipeg buses are some of the politest in the world. The drivers are helpful and a fair proportion of the passengers say thank you as they get off. A stunning day - it reaches nearly 19, with a pleasant warm breeze. And we note the exchange rate on the pound is the best it's been in years - about $1.87. Hard luck for the British, of course, but good for us in the next couple of weeks.
