After coffee and newspapers go to gallery to spend scheduled 11am to 1pm time on site. Quite busy today with lots of people coming in to chat including L.B., a Regina artist whom I had met in Lethbridge when he was showing at the University Art Gallery, S. and B., two people quite engaged with the project, an older couple who came with the true history of the Knox Metropolitan United Church (along with the meaning with the "Limp" admonishment on their sign, V.V. from Saskatoon and K.D. from Regina.
After 1pm go to lunch at the Novia Cafe, a Regina institution just across 12th ave. from Victoria Park. Clubhouse Sandwich and black tea.
Back to the gallery to browse the art books.
Around 3pm head out for a longer walk (I've been wandering in the park off and on) east on Victoria to Winnipeg (stopping at the wonderful Italian Deli) then turn north up past the tracks into industrial N.E. Regina. Not much in the way of streets or paths so backtrack down to South Railway & follow the tracks back to downtown stopping at the liquor store to be watched suspiciously while I select a bottle of wine. After making my selection and being hit up for change outside the store I continue down 12th ave to the park for a small amount of perambulation before returning to lodgings.
