The exercise:

Write four lines of prose about an: unconscious habit.

Three day weekend, as Monday is Family Day here in BC. Looking forward to having some extra time to finish settling in.

And extra time with the family.

I guess.

Happy Family Day, I guess? I've not heard of such a holiday before, but it seems like a better reason for a public holiday than celebrating independence from the British... :-D And I'm sure you'll enjoy having another long weekend to get thing sorted out and decide what still needs to be bought to make the new home a complete home :)

Unconscious habit
Samual watched the watchmaker as Lord Derby had shown him, however unintentionally, over the course of their investigations together. The man had several unconscious habits that Samual could see; the least offensive of them was sucking the tips of his fingers when he had to think. The ways his hands kept stroking part of the desk he was working on though was what interested Samual. If that didn't suggest a secret compartment he couldn't think what he might suggest.

Greg - it's an excuse for a day off in February, basically. It's a fairly recent addition to the calendar here in BC.

Ah, always appreciate a visit from Samual. Good to see he seems to be doing well!
