We’ve had it for about three months. James chose it. It’s a bit busy for my taste but he likes bolder colours and prints.

It’s one of the things we are very mic on different pages with. He’s maximalist. I’m minimalist.

Oh the plate was just for the photo. The rest I will eat from the pan. I’m very down to earth. In a posh sort of way.

I’m willing to let my teeth hurt so your’s don’t have to. You’re welcome. 😁

I stopped myself just in time from expressing to James my my pride in not having a single package - showing how restrained I have been in my spending this month. 🙄

Lucky you! You don’t have to eat it. 😊

I can always hear Sarah McLachlan singing “In the arms of an angel” when he makes this face.

The face!

Chester wonders why I’m selfishly not offering him any of my cake.

Admittedly, it sometimes works little buddy…but not with chocolate.

It’s one of the few shows that got better as it aged. And every new character they introduced actually added more to the show.

The first McCain’s “Deep and Delicious” cake I’ve had since I was a child.

Went to the convenience store for some milk and saw them in the refrigerator and every cell in my body went “Must. Have.”

Not sure how deep it is.
But it’s definitely delicious.

I’m the guy who knows there is a postal strike…the guy who has had to find alternative ways of mailing things at work because of the postal strike….yet checks his mailbox every day after work wondering why it’s always empty.

I have dreams of a future where some professor of 21C social media will be discussing the “levels of meaning” of my posts and some student is going to be sitting there thinking “I think he was just being snarky.” But then she’ll write 10,000 word essay on it, just to pass the course. 😂

Akshually….

Me: adaptor a quick glance at your feed let me also say - immigrants aren’t dividing your country. Racism is. Feminism isn’t destroying the family. Patriarch. The poor aren’t responsible for our cultures decline. Billionaires are. Anything else you need some education on?

Him: LOL you can’t even spell actually. You’re not very smart are you. (Note he spelled “your” incorrectly based on context)

Me: Aaaand scene thank you.

Him: (several question marks)

Because of her famed role of Hyacinth Bucket (“Bouquet”) many saw Patricia Routledge as someone who could mimic a really bad singer. In fact she was a trained mezzo-soprano with a magnificent singing voice.

Here she is singing the role of Mother Abbess from a 1967 production of “Sound of Music”

In just glad it cooled down before Thanksgiving.

I HATE Thanksgivings that feel like mid-July.

I want cosy sweaters and flannels, not T-shirt’s and shorts.

The lack of a cold snap has meant very muted colours here. I’m hoping we’ll see some bursts of autumn glory before the leaves just wither and fall. A lot of trees started losing leaves in early Sept simply due to heat stress.

Blasphemy.
I can think of no other word.

RevDaniel 🇨🇦 @revdaniel.bsky.social · 17h

You do you. I definitely don’t find the absence of Facebook to be equal to cutting off my nose. It’s far more like cutting off a chain that’s been holding me.

RevDaniel 🇨🇦 @revdaniel.bsky.social · 19h

I can’t say I’m unhappy. I’ve been over the heat since early September. Not ready for winter, but I do like the cooler weather. I hate it when Thanksgiving feels like mid summer.
