boo

There aren't many kiddies that come around the neighbourhood on Halloween, and only a handful of houses are draped in cobwebs, ghouls and pumpkins.

Tonight, there were no knocks on the door...

But I'd already decided to change it up a little this year, anyway. Instead of handing out candy to the kiddies, I thought it might be a good idea for them to bring me treats. Dark chocolate and/or red wine.

I left marked boxes by the door and thanked them in advance.

pho sho

You know the food is good when you're willing to make a public transit trek that requires at least three transfers.

Went for pho today at a little place in the west end that's loved by the locals and even local celebrity chefs. I was hungry well before arrival, but probably worked up a bigger appetite wandering around the neighbourhood trying to kill time before meeting my behind-schedule lunch buddies.

I ducked in an out of furniture shops looking at beautiful Scandinavian pieces, designer accessories and some vintage items but, really, my mind was elsewhere.

Pho on the brain. There are worse things, sure. I just don't know what they are...

cycle chic

I've had a small obsession with bicycles for a not so small time, and today was the perfect day for a ride on my new city glide.

Fall is my favourite time of year and going out for a spin amidst brightly-coloured leaves and under a warm sun can really take the bite out of an otherwise stressful work week.

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like...

All I need now is a beret, some flowers and a French loaf in my basket and all will truly be well with the world.
