A late start today for the daily entry, but I have been up and about since 8am! Just in case you might think me lazy or somethingJ! My main task to day was to be quiet and listen, and in doing so I made several discoveries. The main one I will report on in the writings section.
Last Saturday I went for my second haircut at the Libyan barber, as Saturday was still quite nice weather, while on Sunday we had our volunteer Sunday for the Calgary Life Enrichment Centre at the Palliser.
Next I took the bus down to ShelfLifeBooks to buy a gift card for Annie and a few Christmas occasional items, supplemented with the unavoidable book.
Yesterday I did all my shopping for Christmas since I knew that the snow was coming. First was Safeway for regular groceries plus Christmas cake, nuts, oranges followed by a coffee with John. He and Tammy had had an enjoyable weekend at Banff with old friends, thought only halve the crew was there.
Next I took the bus down to ShelfLifeBooks to buy a gift card for Annie and a few Christmas occasional items, supplemented with the unavoidable book. This one is an anthropological history of animal and human interaction starting from 70k years ago, titled “The Intimate bond” by Brian Fagan. Walking back I stopped at the Lindt store for chocolates of various denominations and then finally at the wine store for two bottled presents.
The book “Intimate Bond” covers early hunting, domestication and the use of animals singling out the most significant seven animal species, such as the donkey! I hope to get some insight on the author’s view of the Cathedral cave paintings such as those in Lascaux France.
