But at least there are no outside (other than balcony) that we have to worry about like roofs and gardens. I had two large gardens which required constant work.<br />You are totally right about these owners. I worked in that area and the majority of their customers are either working in the office towers or condo owners that don't have cars and walk everywhere. This is also the entertainment district so the theatres attract people who come into town by train to see shows.<br />My hairdresser is in the area and said there was no impact to business for exactly those reasons clients are on foot or the streetcar that runs right by all these places.Jackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-40435861889276573192020-09-07T10:43:21.920-04:002020-09-07T10:43:21.920-04:00Leonard Cohen is a favourite of mine, too.

Some of her comments helped me a lot. Glad you are mastering labels.<br /><br />Love hearing happy stories about people like Joshua Glover.<br /><br />We are getting ready to paint. We wanted to wait until it was cool enough to open the windows while we sand in prep. Your windows turned out to be beautiful with the new blinds.<br /><br />I hope the cows are still there. Makes you look.<br /><br />Hearing about the father does explain a lot. Not an excuse, though.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-53293452604328690402020-09-06T12:30:13.841-04:002020-09-06T12:30:13.841-04:00So jealous of your gluten-free breads selection!

Don't tell me you like Lemon Chicken too.<br /><br />Did you think like we did that when you moved in to a highrise apartment, there would never be anything to do? Recarpeting, repainting, kitchen and bathrooms renovated, and now we need to repaint again.<br /><br />Those mouthy cafe and restaurant owners who imagine because people can't park at the front door of their business are fools as so many studies have proved. Well here at least in our inner 'burbs. Customers on foot, on bikes and on public transport are where your customers front up from. <br /><br />If you don't know, we in our state have one more week of lock down and then two more weeks. Some things will be eased next week but nothing for us.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-36087226713018083502020-09-06T05:57:47.526-04:002020-09-06T05:57:47.526-04:00Well done on conquering labels.

As Mr. BFR says, if we don't do these things this year, when will we get to them? We too are erring on the side of caution and don't go out unless we need to. Mr. BFR is reading the Mary Trump book now, and says the same thing as you did: nothing new and no excuses. You've given me a craving for shrimp, so I'll put that on my next shopping list.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
