After Craig and Katie headed back to the mainland, we settled into an extremely relaxing routine of putting in studying and work, and then visiting with family and friends. We were able to visit with lots of friends and I was able to drop in at AbeBooks to say hi. Belle was also able to swim in the Commonwealth Pool and in the pool in my parents’ complex. We caught a matinee of the final Harry Potter and ran lots. Scott, Sarah and Michelle also conspired to throw an amazing 30th Birthday BBQ for me at Scott and Sarah’s and I had one of the best birthdays ever, with tons of amazing people. There was even a mini-keg from Phillips Brewery (my fave) and a cake shaped like a giant mug of my favourite beer. Thanks so much, guys!
On our last proper evening in Victoria, we took my parents out for a sushi picnic in Beacon Hill Park, and relaxed on the grass in the sun while taking turns chasing Belle around the greens.
