As in, "solo" or "unsupervised" or "me and my shadow". With Pat away all week, I've been solitary in the city. That combined with wet chilly weather means things are quiet around here. But the daily walks through the neighbourhood always reveal something old and something new. The Parks & Rec planters are putting in the annuals. Tulips around the landmark Gardener's House are already 6" high. Also in the "old" category is the usual lineup of strollers outside the library --- apparently the programs for kids are a big help for the moms and nannies.
The development at the million-dollar corner Beach lot is both old AND new. To get around the rules and permits and approvals about building a new structure, they're leaving up some original walls and calling it a renovation!
The bright spot of the week was attending a retirement party for a distinguished and much-accomplished friend and former colleague at Seneca College. Pat and Jennifer had some memorable international experiences together. Otherwise, the other bright spot was the first sighting of a Falcon at Scarborough Bluffs. It's on its way north any day now...
