For the past few weeks I’ve been steadily adding to a special list entitled YAY!
The purpose? A visual reminder of all the things I want to do and get to do in the coming months.
Birthdays. My sister’s, mine, my mum-in-law’s – I’ve got plenty of births to celebrate in May (and more in June [...]

Recently I got restless and went for a walk during my lunch hour, ending up at the local Murchie’s Tea and Coffee shop. I have many fond memories of this company and their shop on Robson, some dating back to my childhood. They moved from Robson to Pender a few years ago, but I still miss their old [...]

At the beginning of the year I went into the Chapters on Robson to pick up a book, and to check out their magazine selection. After flipping through a half-dozen different issues, I came away empty-handed and unsatisfied, with just one thought:

Love – That the weekend was sunny (although not actually warm) and the rain stayed away until Monday.
