Margo and I celebrated ten years together with a night out on Friday. We got a corner suite at the Sylvia Hotel in the West End, overlooking English Bay. I'd never been before but Margo had years ago. It's very charming, and the building is a historic landmark. I enjoyed the view of the bay and the people watching from the ground floor bar, and next morning at breakfast.
We had dinner at the nearby Boathouse restaurant. I steeled myself ordering wine, knowing we were paying about three times the shop price. The highlight was the sunset, which I wasn't expecting as the day had become completely overcast by dinnertime. But bands of clouds slowly acquired deepening colours and, as we talked, each time we noticed it, it got brighter and bolder, nicely framed in the restaurant's wall of windows. For twenty minutes fellow diners were standing and taking photos.
