Happy Friday. It's been a relatively quiet week at work; calm before the storm with work on a big, important proposal launching next week. I meet up with Ceri and my girls for beer o'clock and dinner on a patio, where we enjoy watching dogs of all sorts and sizes leading their humans in and out of a nearby condo building. Quiet, chatty evening at home. Life good.
When I walk inside my office building this morning, a woman is saying, "it's god-awful-ugly out there" and I'd just been thinking about the gorgeousness of the city under rain.
It's still unseasonably mild – especially this morning. What a pleasant day to walk to work! I just know I'll be crying a frozen river any day now.
In the meantime, how pretty is that morning sky in that window over the door? My little journey along Adelaide Street finds a number of buildings with their names over the doors, the stories behind which will vastly outlive the glass and steel condos and offices being constructed behind them.
I love this special tribute to a tree stump. A tree stump monument.
Charming block of eateries on John Street, just north of Adelaide.
