Hockey and cosplay and babies

No cheering tonight...

Our hockey team is in the playoffs for the first time in years, and you can feel the tension in the air when their game is on. If there's goal - or a win - the whole city erupts, it's really fun, almost sounds like a new year's eve when you can hear noise and cheering and fireworks all around. Not tonight though, alas, they lost.

Oh well, I've still had a good day (and not that I care about hockey anyway, but it's nice if the home team wins). Spent the morning talking to Chu, her computer hasn't recovered from a BSD it suffered but work laptop was put in place and we got our weekly dose of five hours on the phone. While Dragon was out hunting for insulation foam for his sword, I was working on Auron's pants - the outfit is starting to come together nicely.

And weather, the lovely weather is back - last week it seemed that the rain would never end, depressing pouring down rain from dusk till dawn... even the Vancouverites started complaining. We even went to the beach yesterday with Timo and Sirpa and the kids who were visiting... Ella's little three month old brother is quite cute: very happy and loves to smile, doesn't make any fuss - but babies don't do much, I much rather hang out with Ella who can now almost say my name (she says "Minna" - hey, that's close enough for me). And she's such a girly girl - she was so happy to eat the pink cream puff with pink creme filling I had bought for her, or at least she was happy to eat the filling and even though she was using a spoon half of it went onto her hands and face and the table cloth. And when we asked if she was enjoying it, the solemn girl didn't have time to answer, but gave us a serious nod.
