Oh man. It's been cold. Really, really cold.
It's currently -15C/4F. I believe last night was a good 7 degrees colder.
But, I had friends to see downtown, so after work I threw on my winter things and hobbled to the train.
Winter things include: wool beret with golden squirrel pin, super pashmina, deer skin mitts, grey boots, and parka.
My knees froze and I couldn't feel my toes after a few minutes. SO COLD! Will need to wear thermal socks next time.
Braving the cold was worth it once I got to MRKT. My friends were all waiting and we proceeded to order cocktails and almost every item available on the menu. Ended up sharing everything.
You'll have to excuse the major league hat hair.
Yums.
Gulp.
Food coma.
We got these old school Popeye candy cigarettes with our bill! Now they're called "candy sticks".
Even though it is bone-chillingly cold, I'm still ready to layer it up and get out there. I mean, it's not like I'm going to make coca-cola braised rib for myself after teaching at 8 pm. Plus, it's highly motivating to venture out on foot and by train when there are such rad friends to be met.
:)
Also, brrrr.

Brrrrr, indeed! That's a good 30 degrees colder than Chicago. You must have the most stylish cold weather wardrobe of anyone I know. I love the gold squirrel pin - it's all about the squirrel pin. :)
the cold is why canada has lots of olympic skiers and skaters
i went to mrkt on Friday! super delicious!
Dottie - Thanks! It's a lot of long sleeved t-shirts these days. All about the layers.
Anon - And hockey.
misssable - Was it a date? A birthday date?
Those "cigs" are awesome. I stumbled upon your blog during a search for Pashley reviews and just had to comment. My Canadian coworker brings back those same Popeye cigs for us here in Philadelphia when she goes home for a visit. They're always great for silly photo props!
