At around 6 PM, saw a guy with a full cart of groceries pull a runner at the Island Park Metro. One of the employees chased him to the middle of the parking lot and then stopped. Bad memories of a 2018 incident at the same store where a guy ended up between two houses, shot dead by cops.

Matthew Rankin’s film “Universal Language” played to a full house at Ottawa’s ByTowne cinema last night. It’s so good. See it if you can.

“Andrea, do you like Limoges china?” Hmm, what can I reply to my mother’s lovely neighbour? (I have less fancy tastes but this dish is sort of growing on me.)

Made a tourtière to bring to a dinner tomorrow. If we had a wee slice now would that be very wrong?

Searching for a bit more info about this watercolour, learned that the architect/builder of Shardeloes (an 18th c. stately home) was a guy named Stiff Leadbetter : )
