mid-week glooms... with weekend goodness in sight
It was an oh-so-gloomy subway ride this morning... full of that icky mid-week feeling. However... this weekend is fast approaching... and will be wonderful!
First, we're changing the size of the pipes into our house to increase our water pressure... so I'll finally be able to run a bath and soak (yipee!)... and second... Nuit Blanche!
In Nuit's 5 years running, the first few years we were still living in Vancouver, and the past few years we were out of town... but THIS YEAR... this year... we. are. there.
Other great current/upcoming stuff...
