January 17, 2024: Montreal Day #1!

Back in Montreal, sleeping on an uncomfortable mattress and using uncomfortable pillows.  I woke up way too early this morning REAAAAAALLY sore.  Just my neck, back, and shoulder.  But still.

Did a little work on my taxes today.  Want to have most of it wrapped up before I head to Japan end of the month.  Speaking of which, also did some research on quaint Tokyo cafes and events we can check out during our stay.  Sent Akemi the full list which included –

The SPYxFAMILY buffet at the Hotel New Otani

The Ukiyo-e Immersive Art Exhibition

The Hekkelun coffee shop in Shimbashi famed for its purin (Japanese custard pudding).

Came across this concept art for “Jolinar’s Memories”, Apophis watching Sokar’s mothership explode.  Don’t think I’ve ever posted it before.  If i have, please ignore.

My sister picked up this apple fritter the size of a pot roast on her way home today.

Also these donuts and some canned cod liver!  Overall, they look okay, but I am saving my donut appetite for Japan’s I Am Donut and their unbeatable pistachio cream donut.

Meanwhile, the Crime Binge continues.  One of the (four) shows I’m presently watching is The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.  Never read the books but I really do like the characters (especially the secretary), love the tone and the setting, but the mysteries fall short which is too bad.  Anyone watched it?  What did you think?
