Our big Christmas payment check arrived this morning, so we headed along to the bank to cash it. There's a coffee shop called Scooters inside the bank, and as a storm was brewing outside, we decided to stay for a coffee and cake.

There was a shop that sold crime books and cross-stitch supplies which looked cool but was ran by a scary old woman who demanded to know how she could help us when we walked in and followed us around the store. We were clearly the first customers she'd ever had.

We headed back to the lofts and went up on the roof before deciding to go to the park.

Tom bought some donuts that tasted like play dough.

I managed to get a video of the eerie fish in the pond.

We then went shopping in Urban Outfitters, where Tom got some $9.99 Levi's and I got two tops. One has bicycles printed on it.

I also got an awesome camera keyring.

We stopped for coffee at Blue Line, a coffee shop in the Saddle Creek complex which roasts it's own beans.

We made it home just before the storm started, so we decided to go up to the roof and watch it from the Bat Cave (we think the community room looks like a supervillan's hideout at night with the view over the city).

We'd bought a bottle of Californian champagne for $7 earlier, so we popped it open to drink during the storm.

When the rain stopped we headed out on to the roof to get a better view of the lightening.
