What an amazing day today ..... I had to skip my run today because of the cold & laryngitis, but I went out for a nice long walk. I went to Bloor Street West, which is a European area of Toronto with lots of bakeries, markets and great shops. On a day like today the sidewalks were packed with people, dogs and strollers. It was a great way to pass the afternoon. I looked everywhere for fresh basil - very difficult to find at this time of year. None of the markets had it - I finally found some at the grocery store. The weather really put me in the mood for a Caprese salad - which I just finsished. I also decided to treat myself to a chocolate pecan tart and a key lime tart. I've just scarfed down the pecan tart and have the key lime tart left.
No other real purchases - a couple of cards and a mini-Molskine notebook. (And I mailed off a little card for Joolie I am often very bad at mail but I did promise) I wish I had even a bit of Joolie's creativity but I haven't a scrap of artistic talent - just appreciation. If you've never visited Joolie yet - what are you waiting for?
One last thing ..... this is a little mini-rant. Is there anything in the world more obnoxious than a 'Hummer'? What a completely useless vehicle to have in an urban setting. I doubt any setting is appropriate for one of those monsters. The really large SUV's are bad enough but Hummers really annoy me.
Lime tart?!?! I want it!

Three gorgeous days here as well. Ugh, on the cold. I feel as though one is comming on. Strange how those things seem to get you once the stress finally eases. I don't know about you but my body fights things off the more stressed I am, as though it knows I can't deal with one more thing. Feel better.
