Sangria made with red wine is the love of my life.
Yesterday was absolutely beautiful! I spent my morning and part of my afternoon filming a city council meeting at City Hall, then headed outdoors (finally!) to get some lunch and embrace this amazing summer weather we’ve been graced with.

Half the media in attendance. Many of those journos are my classmates.

Street meat: my Toronto weakness.
Regardless of how long I’ve lived (or will live) in Toronto, you know I’m not a born Torontonian because of one little thing.. I love pigeons. I’m serious, I do! Where I grew up, we had no pigeons. I think they’re the cutest, sweetest things. So, yeah, they’re totally pea-brained and poop everywhere and invade every public space… so? All they want is bread!

Do not hate the pigeons. Love the pigeons.
Once we got home, Briar and I put on our bikinis and got some sun for the first time in 2012. No, this is not a photo from last summer.. we legitimately got a tan on March 21st. Spring, you are too kind.
A working morning and a sunny afternoon? My favourite kind of day, no doubt. Productive + happy.
Briar is the only person I know who is paler than I am. Hopefully we can get enough vitamin D this summer to change that!
After that, we went for a walk around the neighbourhood. Briar will soon be my roommate in May, so I’m slowly helping her get familiar with the area. Although, walking deeper into Christie Pits Park, even I had no idea there was a community garden and pool!

It was still ridiculously hot, and 5pm somewhere (just kidding, it was 5pm here!) so we went to my favourite & local pub, Pour Boy. Sangria and steamwhistle pints were had and much deserved after our stressful and long day…
Briar. Beer. Boobs. Battlestar Galactica.
Just kidding, it was a breeze. Literally.
I love you just the way you are. Seriously, you are perfect. NEVER CHANGE!!
Dear summer of 2012: I can’t wait for you!
