Busy day

Saturday afternoon I went to the big Chapters-Indigo bookstore on Bloor & Bay and bought Adam Hochschild's King Leopold's Ghost, about the Belgian Congo, to read for my August History Meetup.  It's one of those books that's hard to put down.

Sunday was the Classic Book Club, where we discussed Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.  I brought our coverless Classics Illustrated comic of the book, which amused the others.

Yesterday was busy.  First I went to the memoir group. Then I went to Miriam's place to proofread her proposal to get a booth for her business at a Kensington Market place.  Then I saw the documentary Design Canada at the Bloor. (I would have seen it with the Movie Meetup group, but I arrived at the last minute and didn't know they were in the balcony.)

Today I went to the bank to ask about getting a reverse mortgage on our house.  They referred me to some home equity specialists.

We saw the first episodes of Jane Campion's second Top of the Lake series China Girl.  It's even more unusual than the first one!
