February 11th Monday  Everything still closed for the holiday 

Well the countdown is coming.  Sat around talking all morning and not getting much down.  I went for a walk and found that the streets were empty - Chinatown area and businesses near the area are all closed.  This holiday is like our Xmas and everything closes, some for two days and some for a week.  
After I came back Claude and I decided we would try and see if the grocery store away from Chinatown was open, which it was, so we got our usual staples, milk, eggs, bread, coke and cookies of course.  We did buy chicken with all intentions of cooking dinner, but we didn't.  Decided to go for another walk with Keith along the river to see the Quay's, the areas along the river when we took the bumboat ride.  Very quaint.  There were more people wandering around this area, but not like it is on a regular Monday.  Came home, cooked eggs for supper, one of our popular meals when we don't like to cook, watched a movie.  Keith and I played Scala and he killed me. Ashley came home and she had had an accident on her bike.  She was all bruised and very sore.  She went head over the handlebars.  Watching closely how she is feeling. Keith decided to go out for a while to a club and he met some people he used to know when he lived here.   Good night to everyone
