Have I mentioned that we have the world's friendliest street? Right in the middle of downtown Toronto, we live in an oasis of kids, bikes on the street, people having drinks on the stoop.
I'll be honest, it took getting used to. I'd always lived in condo's in Toronto (where the polite thing to do is pretend you don't see or know the person getting into the elevator with you) - even though you do this routine every morning.
But the thing is, its still a city -street (although a cul-de-sac) so all the parents are out, watching the kids and shouting "Car" should a cab or some person drive down. It can make you miss backyards which actually let you do something while the kids played....
Yesterday Seth and Avery rode their bikes up and down with the neighborhood boys.
Avery was so proud of himself for keeping up with the "big kids".
Today I am:
- Determined to use my home office and not the dining room table. Surely productivity will now increase.
- Eating: crunchy but still sweet strawberries and creating entire dinners around my Mom's mint chutney (couscous and tandoori chicken).
- Waiting: for my ebay dress and coat to hopefully arrive soon!
