Aquarium

Much bigger snow today, and yet bigger snow that seemed to be fairly localised to our section of Richmond. Very satisfying snow it was.

A new series of Life on Mars has started on BBC Canada, and I'm fairly sure we're not far behind the UK seeing this. Fantastic.

This evening, Lori, Beth and I went to the Vancouver Aquarium. They were running workshops based on their school programmes, and they do seem to have some good ones, and a lot of great resources, but our programmes are more imaginative. We took away some ideas and some validation.

The Aquarium is just superbly located in Stanley Park. There was a magical moment when we arrived in the car park as the sun was setting and the track playing was Cohen's 'Hallelujah'. The view down over Vancouver, the bridges, the fir trees, the lights, everything was just, yes, just magic. This wasn't the view, this was English Bay a few minutes before we went up to Stanley Park.

I've been wearing a daffodil all day, St.David's day, my dad's birthday.
And that's all for me today, it has been a long one.
