On Friday I met up with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/easterbunny\/\">Easter Bunny<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/aca\/\">Aca<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/haggisthesecond\/\">Haggis The Second<\/a> for dinner at a small restaurant called Pierino&#8217;s. On Saturday I had intended to get up early and catch the sun, instead I got up late, perfectly timed for the skies to have clouded over.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was also rather cloudy, but I decided to go for a walk along the river anyway. I can&#8217;t say much for the pictures, but it was definitely good to get out the camera again. The move over here has kept me busy enough the past two months that I&#8217;ve not really had the chance to get out and take photos. Hopefully a bit more effort on my part will take me out into London this weekend for more photography.<\/p>\n<p>Another goal is to head out to enjoy some live music. It was only occasionally that we would go to see live music in Toronto, at the excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hughsroom.com\/\">Hugh&#8217;s Room<\/a> and the Dora Keogh, but it&#8217;s something I&#8217;d like to do more of.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Canary Wharf, and the docklands in general, is a peculiar part of London. On the one hand they look like any typical North American city, full of sharp angles, glass and brushed metal. Yet it&#8217;s an area of London that certainly isn&#8217;t typical, more like a city within a city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I booked tickets for a week-long visit to Toronto.
