Banking and biscuits

I'm back in Toronto, arriving yesterday on Air Transat - Gatwick was a zoo so I upgraded to Club Class for the trip across the Atlantic and caught a taxi from the airport to my flat. It took fifty-five minutes in all from getting off the aircraft to my front door - not bad and boy was I glad to be back home. The radio gig in the UK has knocked the stuffing out of me.
Today I went to Mississauga in the smart car - it fired first time after standing for three weeks. We stopped at HSBC bank in the Mississauga Chinese Centre at 888 Dundas Street East - I deposited a sterling cheque no problem.



We then proceeded to A Bit of Home at 4-600 Burnhamthorpe Road West which specialises in quality Irish and British goods. This is the only known source of garibaldi biscuits in Canada, ending a four year search. They aren't cheap but a source of comfort for the desparate.
