\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>With the extreme heat and lack of air conditioning here in our west facing\u00a0Arbutus Walk apartment, by the end of the day staying indoors is intolerable. So I set up an outdoor table where Michael can read, and I can catch up on my social media posts, in a much cooler spot. With the beer fridge within reach, and a BBQ for our summer meals, it&#8217;s ideal.<\/p>\n<p>We do <a href=\"http:\/\/vancouver.dinerenblanc.info\/\" target=\"_blank\">Diner En Blanc<\/a> every year, so last year I had the smart idea to order a table and chairs, which arrived, well after the event, and proved to be far too large for our little balcony. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.presidentschoice.ca\/en_CA.html\" target=\"_blank\">Presidents Choice<\/a> to the rescue! I drove out to the garden center on Grandview highway and found an excellent, more fitting set, and grabbed an umbrella and a nice bright lantern, and cushions too.<\/p>\n<div
