Breakfast was a bit later today, being the weekend. Good thing too as I didn’t wake up until eight. Pat was already gone but I went downstairs for a cup of coffee before I joined him in the cafeteria. We can get coffee in the cafeteria but it comes out of a machine and there is no cream – not the best tasting coffee, not that the coffee in the lounge is a whole lot better.

We were off to Stanley Park this morning. We wanted to go earlier in the day when it wasn’t quite so hot. We got in another 5000 steps – some on the sea wall and some on trails throughout the park. I know why I always stuck to the seawall when I went on my own – I’d be lost in no time. There were a few benches in the shade and we took advantage of them.

Pat drove for a long time looking for a restaurant with an outdoor patio so we could have some lunch. Parking was hard to find but Pat has always been lucky with parking. While he paid the meter I looked at an outdoor display of fruits and vegetables. We found a Greek restaurant and we both really enjoyed having lunch of our own choosing and not just what was being served in the cafeteria.

On the way back to the truck we stopped and picked up a package of really nice looking strawberries. I’m glad we have a fridge in the room.

So, for a no-treatment day, I certainly had my share of treats.
