In Winnipeg after a brief canter across the Canadian Shield and the start of prairie country

 

In Winnipeg.   Went to see my brother in the Manitoba Health Sciences Centre where he is recovering from a thing that snuck up on him last week.  He's recovering quite well.  We almost didn't get to see him, as the Centre covers 3 or four city blocks and navigation requires the same skills as those that penetrated the dark continent two centuries ago.  Finally we were led to safety by a native denizen of the complex.  A near thing I fear a couple more hours and we might not have made it out.

Note to reader:  London Drugs sells the complete line of McVities biscuits including the haed to find caramel chocolate digestives and the Ginger biscuits.  Those who hunger for these comestibles will understand.  Can be ordered online  as well.

Then to dinner with  family members at an excellent little restaurant in St. Boniface.  Bouchee et Boucher.   Excellent charcuterie platter,  great local beers nicely chosen plates of veggie and meat compositions.  The pork belly with lightly pickled cucumber slices was delectable.   Worth a visit, when you find yourself in Winnipeg with a few hours to kill.
