I spent the weekend in the production office supervising a language dub for the television show I work on. And when I say 'supervising' I mean lurking by the window and looking wistfully at the sun - and later, getting ice cream drumsticks for everyone.

Today my boyfriend and I went on a day long trek - first to eat lunch at a Mongolian BBQ place in town (which, if I were stuck on a desert island, is the exact type of food I'd chose to eat forever) -- and then going to the Van Dusen Botanical Gardens.

Even though I love the city, wandering through the forest and fields on a summer day feels like coming home. When I was young my sister and I lived in this big wooden house out on a mountain, where were had ten acres of wild to explore. I remember spending all the time I could outside - waking up before the sunrise and going to lean against dewy moss covered rocks and breathing early summer air. Now that summer is nearly over I'm planning on spending more time outside of the city this autumn, which is by far my favourite season for doing just about anything.

Lovely, it looks so peaceful there.. the Botanic Garden here is always full of screaming kids for some reason.
I really like your shirt, it's a nice twist on the tie-front shirts that seem to be everywhere right now!
