Mosquitoes and wet weather. Ick.

It rained on the way to Montreal yesterday, but fortunately the rest of the day was hot and clear. Hubby O.D.’d on guitars at the guitar show, and my brother and I got to wander around and take in many of the free musical acts presented. These included a very find klezmer band, a marching brass band in the New Orleans style with puppets and women on stilts in fantastic costumes, and an acoustic band, the tuba player of which I knew (he plays trombone in the symphony). The concert we paid to see was incredible. We got home late and slept in late, and at 11:30 I got a phone call from a friend who was already at the restaurant where we were supposed to meet them for brunch.

So Hubby and I quickly got dressed and zoomed out there, getting to spend an enjoyable hour or so with D and S who are only in town twice a year to visit S’ parents.

After that, since we were just next door, we shopped at Costco, spent over $380 (how did that happen?) and came home.

Unlike yesterday, the weather today has been wet and rainy and horrid. I tried sitting outside briefly and was attacked by mosquitoes, so I gave up. We did get a new propane tank and more propane, and in the process of removing the old one, it fell on my knee and I now have a nasty bruise/bump there. It felt just as heavy as the new one, so I think we weren’t really out of propane, I just didn’t have the valve thing screwed in tightly enough. Oh well, we have lots of propane now. Barbecue time!

I’m sure there was something important I had to say here besides just recapping the last couple of days. I wish I could remember what it was. Besides that, I have installed Haloscan for comments, so feel free to leave them. I just have to figure out how to get them to alert me when I get them.
