Happy Thanksgiving

Apparently, the second Monday in October (as opposed to the American one, which is in November). Which means that everything is currently closed, and the buses are running on a Sunday schedule. I think I'm also supposed to be eating turkey - the Canadians claim that they have their Thanksgiving so early so that they're ready for turkey again when Christmas rolls around.

I've had a moderately busy couple of days. I popped over to Montreal for the evening on Friday, where I met up with a friend and had a very nice dinner (and about six hours of gossiping); it's around two hours on the train, and I got to see some of the lovely scenery on offer this time of year. The leaves are starting to turn, and the landscape is increasingly spectacular. I think another week or so before it hits its peak.

Then when I got back on Saturday, my neighbour invited me out for a quick drink. It was around 3am by the time I got back on Sunday, so it was less quick than I was expecting. It was a very pleasant evening - and thanks to the very impressive weather we're having at the moment, I'm still wandering around in a tshirt.

Though when it starts to get cold in a couple of weeks, I suspect it's going to be just a tad colder than it gets in the UK....
