Walking the neighbourhood and getting lost – 10 October 2023


 

Monday was spent inside recovering from the excesses of the day before.  It was both raining and a public holiday (Thanksgiving Day).  I spent a great deal of it catching up on the blog.  It was very nice to slow down after a week full of activity.

 

Tuesday was a bit wet in the morning but by afternoon it had stopped raining which gave us an excuse to go walking in the neighbourhood.  The suburb is called Gloucester and is about 20 minutes from Ottawa.  Unfortunately, the public transport is not the greatest to the suburb especially during off peak hours. 

 

We followed our noses and I hoped we would find our back.  “Maps” is very useful in that regard.  It was a nice walk although I managed to semi lose my way, much to Bev’s delight having claimed that I am very good at retaining maps in my head (but not always!). 

 

Later that evening we went out for dinner to a place called Moxies which is an up-market restaurantchain.  The food was good and Graham and Bev enjoyed a cocktail before the meal but a no alcohol beer for me.  The service was speedy, and the main meal came out before we had even finished our entrees.  The waitress did say she tried to slow them down without success.
