Well, the day started with sad news that Great Uncle #4 has passed on. He was the first son of my great grandfather's 2nd wife (on my dad's side). My great aunt from Edmonton had left for Taiwan this past week.
I heard Michael Swan play Bach's Air from Orchestral Suite 3 in church this morning. This is of course very famous and sublime. I guess given my Great Uncle's passing, it was kind of appropriate.
On a happier note, we went to Shaw Centre again. It was quite crowded today and we noticed that the diving section was open. Samuel took quite a bit of coaxing, but he eventually tried out the 1 m springboard. After about 30 tries on the 1 m board, he tried the 3 m board. Again, it took quite a bit of coaxing. There was a fearless little girl in a life jacket jumping off the 3 m springboard. There was also a slightly older little girl jumping off the 5 m platform. I saw a few kids jump off the 7.5 m platform, but nobody attempted the 10 m platform. No pictures though - didn't bring the camera. The pool is 5 m deep, so he wasn't very confident at first.
