We've been back in town long enough to be fairly well set up and organized. However, we've not been here long enough to have transitioned to this time zone. We both got out of bed at 5:05 in the morning for no other reason than we were awake. The sun still hadn't risen by 6:53 though. This is the view mostly south but a bit east. The water in the foreground is the Fraser River. The buildings on the hill are in Surrey, BC and none existed when we moved into this apartment. The picture was snapped from balcony when I stepped on the cold tiles. Without the later sunshine, it was just 1°C.
Jay and I didn't accomplish a lot. We did drive up to the uptown Walmart for a few more groceries. I snapped a photo of Jay in the electronics section in front of clearance TVs in boxes. The 75" LG cost CAD $800 ($US 580). I've been planning a new TV purchase but we cannot fit more than a 55" screen in the living room. I also want to pick up an OLED and have had it picked out for purchase for a while. When the price drops due to the arrival of the new 2026 models, I'll strike. I like doing research on big ticket items. My choice will cost substantially more than the huge screens in a box we saw today.
I don't do all my shopping at Walmart. We've been home only five days and have received three packages with smiles already. Two items will arrive tomorrow as well. I love having packages delivered the next day and right at the door of our 10-floor apartment. I found that my battery powered tire pressure gauge in the car glovebox died. I don't have to worry with this mechanical one which was about the same prices as a pack of new, coin batteries. Oh, and one can never ever have too many adapters, wires, and cables. The other items in the package included a pack of six USB to USB-C adapters. My Prime membership is so much more important than the Costco one we seldom used.
