a room of my own: 10/1/11

Today I cycled to Sidney (1.25 hours with my trusty electronic bike) along the colourful autumn galloping goose trail, shared a mostly raw all vegan lunch with my octogenarian+ parental units, and convinced them that driving into Victoria to visit the People’s Assembly at Centennial Square would be a good idea.

We had intended to stop, on our way into town, at Mitchell’s Farm to pick up some fresh vegetables for the revolution, but the placed was packed with pumpkin pickers and we didn’t have a lot of time since I needed to eventually leave Sidney with enough time to cycle back into town before sundown. We tried a couple of other local farms but they were both closed. Nevermind, I suggested we could find out what they need and I’ll get it another day. I was brought up with the understanding that sharing is a good thing, and it’s polite to bring something when dropping in for a visit.
