Sadly, it seems to have disappeared to a parallel universe near the one where single socks end up! Enjoy those pretty new red toes and the sandals that show them off.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-78744370960340552252009-05-04T16:41:00.001-04:002009-05-04T16:41:00.001-04:00the first ice cream cone of the year!the first ice cream cone of the year!Glove Slaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875540891770525708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-20642418026466834332009-05-04T16:41:00.000-04:002009-05-04T16:41:00.000-04:00--Asparagus

Haven't done the big clothing decluttering yet for two reasons 1) not had the time and 2) still carrying a bit of "winter weight" which has been coming off with the cycling - oh sure, I'd like to lose more than that but that would be a project - so it isn't quite time to try everything on. <br /><br />Sandals for at least a week or two now, except on chilly wet days. <br /><br />Helped a friend wash her wooden patio furniture yesterday afternoon. We are still hesitating to put plants out, as we are in a cooler zone than Duchesse. <br /><br />Haven't really had a cappuccino or a glass of wine on a terrasse yet, but will. More interested in riding my bicycle. Seeing cyclists less hardcore than I am bringing out their bicycles, and a strong dose of cycle chic, of both sexes. <br /><br />Encountering people I haven't seen for months, at Jean-Talon markets and on the streets everywhere. And of course the pretty trees and flowers. <br /><br />Dreading another birthday, but I'll be too busy working that week to worry about it.lagatta à Montréalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-85860255361647790492009-05-04T12:28:00.000-04:002009-05-04T12:28:00.000-04:00Having some energy and ambition.
