Celtic Colours is on right now in Cape Breton and I'm so bummed I can't get up there for it. CB in the fall is mindblowingly beautiful.

Once in a blue moon they show up in our neck of the woods, after a big storm or something. Nova Scotia is big for birding.

We did the Yum! Box snack of the month for a few years and loved it. Every month a different country, with an end-of-year grab bag of stuff. We stopped a short while back because we were starting to get repeats, but it took a while!

Are you an #Australian living in #Canada who misses the amazing snack from home, Cheezels? I just found a substitute from Trinidad in the International section at Walmart, and although they taste a bit different due to the jalapeño, it's as close as I've come to finding Cheezels here. #Cheezels

A package of Trinidadian Cheezels (jalapeño flavour) found at a Canadian Walmart next to a box of the Australian variety which I love SO MUCH.

But as you say, no all-in-one blu-ray version. Weird.

And this, of course.

Wait, this exists!

I think we all know who said the same thing 90-odd years ago. They'll switch to "I was just following orders" when the time comes.

Tell me about it! We don't need Columbo, we need Strunk & White on the case.

I once fed a tiny baby squirrel yogurt from a syringe at a wildlife rehab centre, and years later I'm still "squeeeee"-ing about it.
