One full week in Cobourg has entailed an afternoon at the art gallery (volunteering), thirty laps in the outdoor pool, a day at the beach with friends, lengthy walks, hours of unpacking and cleaning, ironing, shopping, shopping and shopping, listening to live music twice, and two thunder storms, one Hitchcock movie-worthy! It has been a very busy and educational week.
1. Down with minimalism! I don't like to look at bare walls (thus shopping)!
2. Power-walk by the lake — impossible! I simply have to stop and watch the ducks move so ever gracefully in the shimmering water.
3. iPad — a must companion, to take pictures and make poetic notes!
4. Feeding myself — still a challenge, regardless of No-frills (at a good walking distance) or the Saturday farmer's market. Neither have the meat that I would like to eat!
Most importantly, I've learned that not everybody will appreciate or even acknowledge me, especially the blond, blue-eyed offsprings of the loyalists who founded the town! But, that's alright. I don't particularly like people who fence the beach and the lake, calling them their own! As if nature can be monogrammed!
