We went out in the afternoon after checking the weather as best we could and deciding, based on the number and size and blackness of the clouds, to take the car to Granville Bridge and the Seawall. Had a very nice walk going east from Granville Street as far as Cambie Bridge and back again, during which time it was variously sunny, spitting rain, and threatening.
After almost an hour's hike, we drove to Jericho Beach thinking to have a beer at the Jericho Sailing Club's neat little hideaway cafe, which overlooks the ocean and a great view, but it was closed - not only closed, but in the middle of renovations. So off we went to Granville Island to the Arts Club Lounge....Closed. Undaunted (and very thirsty), we walked over to Bridge's under a very threatening and black sky, and were welcomed in to the warmth and general social chaos, there to enjoy calamari and a drink.
By the time we walked back to the car it seemed as though the worst of the weather had blown over, mostly making the North Shore very wet, but apparently the rains are to appear tonight. For us, we had a lovely afternoon without getting pissed on!
