I have finished my studio kitchen. All the upper shelves were left over bits from last fall's trailer reno. I added a water filter for drinking water to the sink instead of the soap dispenser that it came with.

I shall. He'll be happy that flappy fish is soon back in rotation 😁
We rotate his friends every couple of months so he's happy to see them again
Except for Reggie the hedgehog. That's his bestie.

Sam also has a very good sense of time. When I'm at the studio & he's with me, without fail, he will start bothering me between 3 & 3:15, often within a couple of minutes of 3. Like in this photo taken at 3:03pm
Which is bonkers.

Here's proof that Stargate: SG1 is canonical Trek.

Harris is my "your work reminds me of" guy when people talk about my art. Oddly, as a self taught artist in the early 90s, I had no idea who he was or his work. My mom visited me in Calgary in 96, saw this & said, oh that looks like Lawren Harris & I said.. who?
She bought me a book for Xmas 😏

-27c and the magpies have enfloofinated.
But they have access to fresh water which is important because if they don't have it, they need to eat snow which takes scarce energy to process.

Not feeling like painting atm (and recovering from some RSI) so I decided to build a kitchen & storage space at the studio.

Well. I need to drop some weight & get my BP under control & I've realized that biking in these icy conditions is not for me (+ the fact my bikes brakes are basically useless below -10), we bought a ridiculously expensive elliptical with some cash we were gifted.
I actually quite like it.
