Encore

Today's block is called Encore. It's French for "Again." I'm guessing it's called this because it has a green 8-pointed star wrapped around a pink 8-pointed star. Today was a lovely day. It might have been a good day to spend downtown, if it hadn't also been a holiday. Because Christmas and New Year's were both on Saturdays, we've had two back-to-back four-day weekends. Eight of the last eleven days, the banks and libraries have been closed. Mail hasn't come. Trash hasn't been picked up. The shops, cafes, buses and car parks have been mobbed. I can't wait for the holidays to be over. I understand with the royal wedding coming just one week after Easter, we'll have the same kind of double whammy again in April. Encore.
