I awoke to frost, breakfasted in a restaurant's idea of hot, dry comfort, and binned through the alleys of Fairview long enough to feel the warmth of the sun overtake the earlier chill; I felt positively over-dressed by the time I cashed in at the bottle depot at Ontario Street and 7th Avenue. Later, when I was locking up my bike two kilometres or so west, at Broadway Avenue and Spruce Street, it was raining -- coming down buckets actually, but just on me -- the Waves coffee house was having a power-washing crew over to hose down their awnings, windows, and sidewalk furniture.

That's over and done with now. All of us are sitting in Waves drinking our coffees and playing on our laptops. The sun just glares at us hotly through the windows, as if to admonish us for not being outside on such a nice, sunny day. Click the images to enlarge.

A description of the weather thus far, today, here in beautiful, Vancouver, British Columbia, makes a better word cloud than sentence.

Here weather should be spelled "whether," as in whether or not it will rain. Well, we've had lots of rain, in a wide variety of styles, and we've had chilly, cool, warm, overcast, hot, and sunny, and we've had it all mixed together -- what they call a real unsettled day. It seems to be settling down now, to be a calm, late Spring evening.
