Musical Accompaniment

I met my daughter and her partner for lunch in town today. Since it was market day, we weren't surprised that we would have had to wait 25 minutes for a table at Boundary Bay, and the noise level would have made it impossible for me to carry on a conversation. 

Our second choice, La Fiamma, wasn't crowded, and we opted to sit outside, overlooking Railroad Avenue. It was peaceful -- until the piper took up station a short distance away. There are times when I enjoy listening to the pipes, but this was not one of them. Still, I put a dollar in his hat to thank him for my blip photo.
