Great project about the women behind the recipes of the Pillsbury Bake-off in the 1950s.

Today, I’m remembering one of the names on the Port Coquitlam cenotaph - Herbert Bradley.
He was born in Dover in 1902 and emigrated to Canada with his family when he was 9. He lied about his age and enlisted in 1916, when he was just 14.

This Remembrance Day, take a moment to watch our #HeritageMinute on John McCrae, the First World War soldier who penned the poem ‘In Flanders Field’ in 1915. The poem helped popularize the red poppy as a symbol of Remembrance.

Since 2022, I've been researching the first 100 women to get their private pilot licences in Canada (aka the Canadian Aviatrix Project ✈️).
I thought I'd take a look to see how it started versus how it's going!

I was the Usherette from the original London show, so I made a Sloane Cinemas headdress, Denton pin, and a “tray” of ice creams with flavours based on all the movies mentioned in Science Fiction, Double Feature.
(The Brad and Janet sitting next to me were most put out that I made them vanilla 😃)

The shadowcast of Excited Mental State (@RockyHorrorTO.bsky.social) were fantastic (and lovely to chat to at the merch stand!). My favourite has to be the Criminologist though – putting up with getting booed every time and being a great grandfather clock 🌎

Well, this has been a Halloween week for the ages! Cheeky wee trip to Toronto to celebrate The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s 50th anniversary. And I got to meet the legend that is Patricia Quinn (and talk about The Box of Delights with her!)

FYI for BC residents, if you want a COVID booster/flu shot, I was able to search in my emails for a previous "Book your next vaccine appointment" from a previous year and click on the link and it just let me schedule my covid vaccine.
