Tomorrow is a holiday here--Labour Day, evidently--but unlike in the States, if a holiday falls on a weekend, you don't get the nearest Friday or Monday off. Of course this year it turns out almost every major holiday is on a Saturday or Sunday, so we get very few days off.

One partial compensation for this hardship is that there are probably at least three, and probably more, places within a 5-minute walk where I can get good pastries.

So...holidays, baked goods...baked goods, holidays...I guess life really is all about trade-offs.
