What made this workday so different? It started out with a commute on the seaplane. I admit I was nervous about it, but the pilot said not to worry, we were travelling above one long strip of runway. I found that quite reassuring. Vancouver to Victoria, harbour to harbour in 35 minutes, can’t beat it.
Add in a lunchtime trip to the Beehive Wool Shop and it’s a day like no other. Believe it or not, I didn’t buy a thing, but my co-worker, Barb, succumbed to the Fleece Artist Sea Silk (70% silk and 30% seaweed) and Inca Gold (80% alpaca and 20% cashmere). Can you imagine, she blamed her purchases on me.
The sun came out on the way home and the scenery was spectacular. Mount Baker is peeking out above the gulf islands in the second photo. As we were landing (is that the correct term for the end of a float plane trip?) there was a good view of North Vancouver.
Too bad no knitting came along on the trip. Lady E, like Marina, is getting too darn big to lug around. Both projects need luggage of their own. Tomorrow I’m off to Madison, WI for my niece’s wedding. Yes, an excuse to start a portable project! I’ll try to post this weekend.
