31st (Monday)
Myle a sweetheart this morning. Liked my hair short
Told me she bought only one pair of shoes in Seattle,
& asked if I'd ever worn the T-shirt from Hong Kong
she bought me. 'That's what it's for.' Bought her a
couple of smoothies from Joyeaux. Long talk with
Heather, & Vesna, on the phone. 'You're so funny!'

1st (Tuesday)   [Portrait of a Girl from the former Yugoslavia]
Girl from Brazil, an english student, comes up to me,
above the Canada Line pit. A sheet of paper with 18
questions, do we use 'colour' or 'color'? What animal is
this? - 'A buffalo.' Quite amusing actually. Ady called
tonight from Africa, followed a minute later by Vesna
Sunny, but still very chilly

Watching 'War & Peace' with Vesna, until past one o'clock
in the morning

Girl on Burrard strumming an acoustic guitar, a cold rain
falling in front of her. Three hours later she was still
there. Watching 'The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly' here this
evening with Vesna, till nearly one o'clock

Myle very charming this morning. Talked about how it was her
Dad's birthday yesterday, & that she cried all night. Bought
her a cranberry muffin, & a shrimp salad roll from Joyeaux
Gave me a little 'magic' folder to keep cards & money. First
warm afternoon in weeks

Masters this afternoon won by Immelman. Talked to Belraj for
about 20 minutes this morning at 7-Eleven, as she quickly
dispensed with one customer after another. Late this
afternoon walked across Burrard Bridge with Vesna. Tea
outside at Starbucks, Cornwall in sunshine which was milky
cool
