There was a weather advisory for strong gusty winds today but, nothing daunted, I braved the chronic wind tunnel down by Formerly Honest Ed's and found them nothing to speak of. Had sushi and sussed out calendars at Midoco: nothing to speak of either but still early days for them. Will probably, eventually, go the AGO and see what they have but not today thanks. The mugginess of September is death on elbows and I would rather not go out more than I have to. The linden is shedding, again, and I half-thought about sweeping it up, but it can wait too.
Still, I did need to shop at Fiesta before the late Friday and weekend crowds get in, so off I trotted again, observing the piles of cloud that herald err whatever it is the gusty winds were supposed to blow in. I thought it was a cold front but south westerly winds do not herald cold fronts around here. Rather splendid in their summer! Hasui fashion nonetheless. Got enough salad to get me through the weekend (Ontario organic because the other organic is American) and pricey walnuts for my cholesterol ('packed for this Canadian company' but hailing from who knows where), paid, headed for door, and realized why the cashier had been exclaiming It just came from nowhere!! 'It' being a wall of water cloudbursting from, well, nowhere. So much for your 5% PoP, weather channel. And stopped as suddenly as it started and the sun came out to set everything steaming. But shall not be shovelling up seedlings today.
I can't Britpick because not Brit, but things still bother me. Alright, so Charles Lennox likes coffee in the morning. Coffee has been in England since the 17th century and I just came across Elizabeth Bennett pouring it out while another young lady pours the tea. But when a Victorian couple are going out to friends for an evening, not even to dinner as far as I can tell, would their hosts ask them to bring wine? Somehow it just strikes me as unlikely.
