Spent the last three days relaxing by the pool at the in-law's place, eating BBQ, drinking rum drinks and generally having a fabulously relaxing time.

They also got us a really lovely wedding gift: a cutlery set and a cookware set, both of which were sorely needed. I cannot wait to use them! Must cooooook sooomething!!

On a totally unrelated note:

Perseids + new moon on August 12th!! I have something to do that afternoon, but I want VERY much to go to Toronto Islands in the evening for meteor-watching. Bring a flask, it's time for once again BOOZE AND SCIENCE!

Check out the NASA article on the night's forecast:

I'll post a facebook event and the link here later. Unless it is cloudy that night, I must go to the Islands! I vote we camp out, too, if possible.
