1. last week mike and i circled the block near my place looking for parking and ended up settling for the one and only spot we found about a block and a half from my door. when we returned to the car 45 minutes later, a tree had fallen over and as we got closer we realised his was the ONLY car affected. somehow there were no damages!?







2. on the metro yesterday i thought i was seeing an old man talking to himself, which wouldn't be that out of the ordinary, but as i got closer i realised he was talking to his pet parrot! and the parrot was totally talking back!



3. Mike and I went swimming on Ile Ste Helene on Saturday and I ran into this little friend. A crazy "ile-ste-helene local" told us that if we stand very still with food in our hands the lil guys will come right up and eat out of your hand. I experimented, we had a moment.




4. This morning i spent time with Lola. we went to the dog park and she chewed a chew stick while I read a book and a great dane tried to sniff her butt a lot.
when it was time for me to leave for work, she gave me this look:

what did i do to deserve that??

5. unfortunately my job is right around the corner from urban outfitters, and no matter how much my brain knows that nothing is worth what they charge there, I can't help myself when i see certain things. This notebook was the result of my indulgent behaviour today, and i have already started filling it with appointments, and tips that Laura Lloyd gave me about places to see in Europe!
