Hi guys! this is my first english blog! Always craving a new challenge. I am unemployed since April 6 and although I was very excited about the perspective off being on ''vacations'' for the entire summer, I must admit now, 4 weeks later, that I'm completely bored. Claire, I good friend of mine, suggested that I should comment the news on my other blog Anecdotes Anodines, wich is more a personal journal. But if I'm sick and tired of reading about the students' strike, I will not add another voice to the lot! So late last night (3AM), laying way too awake in my bed, I thought that it could be interesting to write about what's going on on Montrealers' balconies. I like to think that unlike other people in other vibrant cities, we have a particular way of expressing our pure enjoyment off summer via our balconies. Yes Montreal's urban-hipster-hippie-chic faune love a good terrasse, an underground or not festival or a walk on the Main, but there is nothing like a party on a 4'X6' balcony on a hot summer night.
Still a few weeks from the longest day of the year, I'm on preparation mode for an official season opening on my little piece of outside. I'm using the old material, 1 adirondack chair with it's side table, a colorful light string, a straw rug and a dining set for 2. I resisted the temptation to buy a huge lantern, which are really trendy right know. Anyway next step is plants and flowers.
How will you decorate your balcony?? Tiki torch? Rug? Lantern? Bean bags? Show us how you prepare your season!
