I got a jar of that grain drink that is a coffee substitute and it's so good! I was surprised. Look at that yummy brownie - my knitting neighbor made them for Monday knitting and insisted we take some home. You don't have t ask me twice!
After my post lunch "coffee" break I decided to go for a skate before my shift at work, which was not untill 4:00. I had been itching for a skate and had not gone once this year yet! It was a good day to go because it was warm but not melty.
These guys were so cute! They were helping the girl in the middle learn to skate, holding her hands the whole time. That's friendship.
After my skate, I still had about half and hour so I stopped into the National Film Board to watch the The Danish Poet for the second time. This is one of the sweetest little films I have ever seen, it's just so lovely on so many levels. I like to go and watch it when I need to feel all happy again. It won an Oscar as well! So that is what yesterday was about- doing little happy things, which I seem to have less and less time for these days. I have decided that is a crime and I must MAKE time for this stuff, otherwise I will evaporate. Something nice, everyday.
that brownie and faux coffee look so yummy! i love that picture of the people helping their friend skate....so sweet! and 3 big cheers for the NFB! unfortunately, it's one of those places i rarely think to go to.

Yay for the danish poet! I just got it from the library this weekend and loved it! I got a little teary-eyed too, but we'll just keep that secret! Glad you made time for skating. Hope you're well Tania!

I am going to Toronto in just a few weeks. I'm so excited. I used to live in Vancouver and loved filling my days with such wonderful little things. Living in a smallish Alberta city is just not as exciting. We see only blockbuster movies, shop at the local mall. The only things that saves me is the best coffee shop in the world down the street.
I love the anonymity of a big city. I can't wait to lose myself in Toronto for a few hours very soon!

If the coffee substitute is what I think (Postum), it's really good, especially with sugar and cream ---- yummy. I LOVE the Danish poet, I can watch it over and again without being tired of it - glad that Torill Kove was recognized for it. Continue to enjoy life, we only have one.

Tania this day sounds so wonderful. You crammed so many fantastic things in to it. I love the fact that you went skating in the middle of the day. YAY!
