Apart from Rizwan (he had to go to work), I was first up, made a coffee, read a magazine and listened to action from Calgary International Airport on the scanner. At one point a pilot reported seeing a coyote near one of the runways.
After the others surfaced, we had pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast, and then headed to Sunridge Mall. Rozi dropped me outside Chapter’s bookstore. I spent more than an hour wandering around this very large bookshop, before purchasing a bird guide (with DVD containing MP3 files and images ready for an I-pod or similar), and wandered over to the main mall. By this time it was raining. After another 30 minutes Shamina called out to me, and after a bit more shopping we departed, not to home, but to Marlborough Mall a few kilometres away. This time I wandered around to see the Coles bookshop, HMV, electronics store (like a Dick Smith), and sat outside Sears for over an hour. Both of these malls also had Michael Hill jewellery stores. Finally they came out and we headed home picking up fried chicken (halal) and potato wedges on the way. By now it was 3pm, so it was a late lunch.
Shamina and Rozi were heading to a Hindi movie, so Naushad suggesting visiting an elderly friend in the nearby suburb of Temple. We went there and drank some kava and talked. This bloke is still a practising architect, and has travelled all over the world, after leaving Fiji in the early 1970s.
We came home about 10pm, and had stew and kasava. It was so good for a change not to have curry!
