Taking a break from long form content this week because we're live-streaming TED and my brain is full, here are some lists:
Things Creampuff Misses About Vancouver
- Our hilarious, awesome friends
- The neighbourhood characters, especially the twins, Dwayne and Dwight, who borrowed and returned $20 every month
- All fabulous dog walkers who've put up with our crazy shar peis (particularly the good folks at Bronte Pet Services)
- Pizza Pzazz
- The Skytrain
- Not having to bag your compost
- The Licorice Parlour on Commercial
- Sidewalks
- Our Little Free Library
- Swiss Chalet (apparently it's gone now, probably because we left)
- Trout Lake
- Granville Island Market
- Walkability
- Seeing the mountains every day (they have 'em here, I just see them a lot less often)
- Ogenki Sushi
Things Creampuff Doesn't Miss About Vancouver (or rather, living in *our* place in Vancouver, most of these aren't Vancouver's fault)
- Skunks
- Being part of a strata
- Cleaning human turds off the rock in front of our Little Free Library
- Finding a jug of hydrochloric acid tucked into our cedars
- Driving downtown (that's Katr, as you all know, I drive only with my mind)
- People stealing our geraniums/basil/rosemary, like, just ripping the whole plants out of the planters
- The guy who moved in after our upstairs neighbour Sivo sold her place and his roommates who partied until 3am all the time
- Having to get up at the crack of dawn's ass to take the ferry to Victoria
And now, a select 50x50 update:
- French podcasts listened to: 7
- Vegetarian meals: 6
- Books finished: 4
- New recipes tried: 1
- Pillows touched: still 16, I haven't been to anyone else's house in weeks
