As I sit here at my computer, I see the lady in #27 across from me shut her door and go for a power walk. I have been here 2 1/2 years and she does this twice every day. What consistency, what dedication. One of these days I might join her...but first we would have to say hello, wouldn't we.
There are some people in this complex I still have never spoken to. Like the young sales rep across in #28. Sometimes she has a live-in bf, sometimes she is alone. She keeps to herself. She never waters her lawn. Someone in her family has cancer right now. I know this but I have never spoken to her. Toronto is like that, you live next to people and never speak to them, yet go for a walk along the beach a few blocks away and everyone you pass says hello.
I was downtown shopping for bargains before my vacation (the summer sales have begun). I think I spent more time snapping than spending, because I came home with few bags. Have you ever made a purchase just to get a bag you liked? I did it that day but can't find the bag now. Certain lingerie stores, book stores have bags I like to use to carry my lunch to work, when I remember to make one.
Here are some photos of that afternoon and some fab Toronto buildings. Hope you like them.
Yes, I know it's a little campy but I can't resist adding this song.
My neighbour has just returned from her walk. She hadn't locked her door, just opened it and walked in when she returned. She must feel safe enough. She is. I was watching the house and would have called the police, or Mike next door, if anyone entered. But she didn't know that.
