Read a 715 page biographyof Sonny Rollins on a whim, knowing nearly nothing about jazz and bearing no previous affection for the saxophone. Now converted on both counts.

Visiting the gardens in the last hour they’re open = good light and no competition for the photo spots.

Buying a VanDusen Garden membership was money well spent because whenever a delightful new plant is in bloom I can go over and enjoy it as many times as I like. Tonight: delphinium!

I flirt with madness yet again.

A Teenage Engineering EP-1320 Medieval- which is an electronic instrument that looks like a gigantic calculator- on a lap desk next to its instructions. Not pictured: the keys smell like chocolate.

Tough to beat the centre island in the VanDusen Gardens lagoon for premium goose nest real estate. Those goslings are going to grow up in botanical luxury!
