This weekend wasn't eventful by any stretch of the imagination. Still, thanks to Susannah's recommendation, we had dinner from Sushi Aoki on Friday evening, and it may very well become my new go-to sushi spot. I like to say that in Vancouver you can never be more than 2 blocks from a Starbucks and a sushi restaurant. Most sushi places are similarly (and cheaply) priced and are just fine, but it helps to know which restaurants have really good food as opposed to just average fare.
On Saturday I spent some time at Kidsbooks (as they say, the largest and best children's bookstore in Canada), and discovered a lovely mobile that I could see buying for myself, and my new favourite book for toddler-aged children: "I'll Save You Bobo" by Eileen Rosenthal.

Based on Tara's recommendation, I bought "Detective Blue", which I really got a kick out of, as well as an updated version of The Princess and the Pea with fantastic graphics.
Despite the middling reviews, I quite enjoyed "Our Idiot Brother". It helps to go in with no expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Today I found myself in Stanley Park. Can you see the racoon? He had just wandered to the safety of the bushes from the putting green.
The flowers gardens were lovely, but it was almost as interesting to see how many people in the gardens were busy taking pictures of the flowers. It was amateur photographer day.
And upon coming home, I managed to open a bottle of wine with one hand. Well done, if I do say so myself!
