parsley days
I snapped this photo as golden light was flooding into our office. I love golden hour because while it's so pretty and beautiful there's also sadness underlying it all in that the day is over with. It was a rough night last night. I hardly slept and I'm trying to get out from under a bad cold. Yesterday I put on my bravado and decided that "I'm not sick! I'm going to go on a bike ride!". And I did and it was lovely. I got to hang out with friends and drink a beer and wander around the market, and enjoy the stat holiday, but then the rain came and I got soaking wet. I'm sure it did not do wonders for my recovery. But I'm resilient and I'm still plowing ahead.Visiting my dear friend's blog, I spotted this video and it was so sweet that I had to share.
It's directed by Andrea Dorfman who directed Parsley Days which made such an impact on me when I first saw it. I loved it. I loved the colourful buildings in Halifax, the quirky characters and the indie-ness of it all. I haven't seen it in ages, so maybe I should check it out again and re-live that crazy time in my life when I saw Parsley Days for the first time. Or maybe not. Some memories should stay in the past as memories, don't you agree?

I looooooooove Andrea Dorfman. Never seen Parsely Days (it's really hard to find) but I own Love that Boy - it is one of my all time favourites!
I wish she would make more movies. She lives somewhere near my old neighborhood and co-owns a lovely little knitting cafe (called the knit cafe)! I used to visit hoping to spot her, but I never did.
funny, i LOVE parsley days too! through a halifax web, i ended up at a new years party with andrea last year, but was way too "cool" and shy to say hello and profess my love. i have the soundtrack in case you are interested....

Beth, you should see if the library has it (even the horrible london ontario library had it). I wish she would make more movies too.
Hijinks, haha, I think I probably would have done it and embarrassed myself in the process!
Oh wow! Parsley Days. It's the kind of movie I wish I had seen at a different time in my life. I enjoyed it, but I think it would have had more meaning had I seen it when it was first released.
anabela, i'm sure i'd feel the same way if i saw it again today. when i first saw it, it just hit all the right notes with what was going on with me at the time.
Maybe if you keep telling yourself that you are not sick you might get better? Mind over matter really has the potential to heal :) Anyway, get better soon. No wait, you are completely 100% better now! Hop on your bike and away you go...
I've never heard of Andrea Dorfman but I will check her work out.
Bijoux, I recovered pretty quick! It was just a long weekend sickness. I'm fine now! Really :)
