After coughing during the night from a phlegm overload, I
woke up to a rainy morning. Lachie> Sarah had also had an interrupted sleep.
Then he woke at 6:15!
After breakfast, we took Tim to work and Lachie to Day Care.
It was very wet on the roads. We saw several teams of bike riders on our way.
We had a morning of browsing/shopping. It was definitely an inside day. The
tourist hoards were all huddled under umbrellas or plastic ponchos. What a
miserable way to see wonderful Quebec.
At the Port Market, we finally found a good type of apple.
One stall had a great poster of the various apples grown in the region. Sarah
made her choice based on the poster and it was a “sunrise” apple-delicious.
Then we went onto the mall “Plus Sainte-Foy”, got a cuppa
and wandered through “Simons” where I was looking for a lightweight jacket.
Eventually we found some. My colour blue, but the wrong size. There was the
right size in a red that matched my rain jacket, which would have been ok if
there was nothing else. So I asked the assistant and she did the computer check
before ringing another store. Then two of them started checking every jacket on
the racks. Even with the language problem we could tell that there must have
been that size somewhere.(because the computer said so) Just as they were
checking each label, a shopper came and put one back on the rack. Quick as a
flash, the shop assistant had it in her hand. Right colour right size. Not sure
what the other shopper thought. Hope she didn’t change her mind?
Next to the supermarket for milk. Very big issues trying to
get around Quebec today with so many roads being blocked for the bike race. We
did quite a few long distance detours. Finally arriving home for lunch and
medication for the cough that was attacking me every now and then.
After lunch I checked in for my flights tomorrow. Air Canada
has given me two window seats. Rats! The first will be ok because it is such a
short flight. I’m going to try to change the second. One of the issues I have
found over here is the issue with trying to change seats online. Much easier
with Qantas. I did have a laugh at the fine print on the baggage allowance. Not sure how you would wrap antlers?
While Sarah went out to pick up Lachie and Tim, she was gone
for more than an hour. Terrible traffic snarls everywhere. I spent the time
packing my case. Well that took 15 minutes. Lots of space now on the return
trip and I’m leaving some of my winter clothes behind. Definitely didn’t need
them for this trip, but next time I’ll need everything I own that is warm.
After dinner and the dishes, I got to bath Lachie tonight.
Only took two weeks! Diary time and fingers crossed an early night with drugs
to help the cough. Much less coughing, after the first lot and my throat no
longer feels sore.
