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....
