As my time off continues . . . Bonnie and I slacked off again on Tuesday and Wednesday. Not completely – we certainly found stuff to do – but no work was involved, we didn't wake up at any particular time, and we made no specific plans. That's certainly something I could get used to! I'll keep on buying those lottery tickets, despite knowing better.
Yesterday, we got out to the Jardin botanique de Montréal for the first time in a while. When the inevitable rain came, we hid under arbors, in greenhouses, and beneath various large plants until it blew over. The place was looking good – indeed, just after a little rain is the best time to see plants – and we had a great afternoon. Later on, we grabbed some sushi. All in all, it was a good day.
Today involved more goodbye activities for our friends M. & Y. A gang of us took them out to Nil Bleu for some Ethiopian food. Then we came back to ours for cupcakes. Bonnie and I made two varieties: white chocolate cheesecake with whole strawberries and raspberries on top, and chocolate-orange. It was a fun evening, although as I said before, it's sad to see friends leaving town.
