Things I Love Thursday

I’m writing this in a haze of sleep deprivation after realising that it’s Thursday today and I haven’t written my weekly love post. So, in the midst of my grogginess, I want to give thanks for:

♥ spending Canada Day with two really awesome girlfriends at the Steveston Salmon Festival, complete with freshly barbequed wild salmon, kettle corn, playing on the beach, bubble tea and a movie;

♥ strawberry-picking at W&A Farm in Richmond last Sunday: sweet, juicy red berries glowing under the dusk of green leaves;

♥ watching Jurassic Park at Stanley Park, courtesy of FreshAirCinema;

♥ the book sale at Vancouver Public Library which continues tomorrow — I picked up nine books at 75 cents a copy and only that many because my arms are weak and puny;

♥ takoyaki, takoyaki, takoyaki;

♥ sitting at the front of a train and watching the world hurtle towards you;

♥ how a sliver of white moon appears in the middle of an afternoon summer sky like another wisp of cloud; and,

♥ one of my favourite tunes to play in this season, a cover of Natsukage (Summer Lights) from AIR by someone with the original username of karimono (but who seems to have disappeared since):
