My Perfect Montreal Day

Saturday, I decided was to be a day for me, where I allowed myself to do no housework, and had the entire day to myself to spend as I pleased. So I skipped yoga class and left the bike in the garage. It was supposed to thundershower (*yet* again) so I opted for an umbrella [...]
