Yesterday was great fun. It was great to sit around in the sunshine with old friends after a brunch at Chez Lucien's. And the dancing! I hadn't danced in a very, very long time. We started singing to the Beatles and then danced our hearts out in Manon's living room to some Sadies. Felt good to get that out of my system.

Today was much quieter. Manon and I walked around and browsed the few stores that were open today. We bought some new dishware from Domus across the street, really snazzy plates with paintings of bright red exotic flowers. Then we brunched on Indian food at Roses Café, followed by some more chilling out near the photography museum (which is no longer free, hmph). I feel a strange see-saw of feelings today - either feeling calm and in control, or feeling introspective, lost and slightly sad. I suppose it's a good thing that I feel ok half the time. But this moodiness can also be draining, too.

Manon's on the phone with Mark. She's upset because she made a stir fry that didn't turn out the way she wanted it to. So we're off to a coffee shop - hopefully something will be open - to get some chai tea and some sandwiches.
