Yesterday was gorgeous outside, so after a morning of catching up on emails, Facebook, and bills we headed into the city to meet our friend Toni for brunch at Northern Steamship. There, we enjoyed fries, mussels, and wings and exchanged work horror stories. There's something both depressing yet comforting knowing that everyone suffers the same irritations in their job, regardless of company or title.
After that we headed back to Toni and Max's for further wine and conversation. Iain regaled us with a half hour lecture on why he hates ad agencies while I oggled their gorgeous vegetable garden, full of Swiss chard, basil, arugula, tomatoes, and parsley. Throughout the garden are dozens of little wooden spikes to prevent Stella and Stanley from using it as their litterbox.
We ended the day with a delish ham and mac + cheese dinner while watching episodes of Glee. Actually, the mac was a little dull -- Iain is worried he's losing his touch. I may have to take over cooking duties! If so, it's pasta every night!
Today we're back on house duty and it's off to the stores for tile and carpet shopping.
