The parents and I went out to Orchard Home Farm to pick Gravenstein apples. We took Puitak and Gordon along, and they enjoyed it. All but one of the Gravenstein trees had been picked through and most of the big ones were gone, but we got quite a few. We also got some nice big Macintoshes, which were just coming ripe.
Dinner was KFC.
Moira was pleased to find a place in Toronto that sells the German magazine Der Spiegel. (I'd mentioned to her a place near Bloor and Bathurst, and they had it there.)
Saw the DVD of Alexander Mackendrick's The Maggie. It's an Ealing Studios comedy about a brash American tycoon (British movies in the '50s often had brash American characters) who carelessly ships some valuable cargo on a notorious "puffer" (Scottish coastal tramp steamer). It had some of the same whimsical charm as the same director's Whiskey Galore.
