Father drove with me and Moira to a big warehouse book sale in Leaside. Among other things, we bought a huge bird encyclopedia and a CD of Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals. And they were giving away a tourist guide to Toronto, so since each of us made a purchase we ended up with three copies!
Dinner was salmon.
Went to a fundraising concert of opera excerpts by soloists from Giuseppe's opera. My favourite part was Marcello and Musetta's duet at the end of the third act in Puccini's La Boheme. Barbara told me that the short list for next year's opera is Verdi's Rigoletto, Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann, and Lehar's Merry Widow. Afterward she was giving away candy from the leftover refreshments and I took two handfuls.
