yuuagoI spent the day on the bus, and now I'm in Edmonton.
The weather is pretty miserable; very chilly and kind of windy, and also it's snowing. But the ride down was fine. I did some thinking about my FTH fic and I might start working on it after breakfast tomorrow.
I managed to do two things today.
First, I headed over to the Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts. They have an art gallery/craft store that also sells pysanky supplies. I forget to buy dye pretty much every year, so I figured that I might as well pick some up in person. Anyway, I now have enough for this year and the next. (Not sure if I'll do any this year - I haven't blown out any shells - but there's still time.)
Then later this evening, I headed over to a poetry reading/book launch at Audrey's Books. It was for the poetry collection The Red We Silk by Nicole Lachat. It's been ages since I've been to something like this, and it was really nice! The work was pretty good too - some really nice imagery in this poet's stuff. I ended up picking up a copy, since I've been meaning to read more poetry anyway.
Ah, and I did some watercolour sketching when I went back to the hotel, too. I'd wanted to bring my fountain pen, so I put it in its tin, but the tin is also a watercolour set, so I figured I might as well bring some watercolour paper, annnnd yeah. I want to do that kind of thing more often, watercolour sketches of random objects (partially so I can get better at working with the particular colours in this set). So I'm glad I did that today.
Tomorrow will be the Art Gallery of Alberta and maybe a few other things. And the concert that I'm here for, of course.
