I post boring bits of my life & anything I find interesting.
If you followed me from the old place because of hockey; don't bother. I stopped watching hockey a few years ago.

Life today feels like ...
Kind of hard to balance everything when the rope keeps moving.

Close up of the penguin, polar bear, and the inukshuks. The one from Manitoba is from a beach glass artist.

I needed to wait until tonight to take an updated picture of what the buddies are up to these days.
On the right there is a ceramic penguin and a polar bear on a rock. Purchased from artists locally. The small white inukshuk is from an artist in Manitoba. The green one is from a Tuktoyaktuk artist

This is the 1970s pattern. I know because I received it was as a Christmas present in the very early 1980s

Here's the top of my cardio playlist. I find it works when I'm on the elliptical. Except I try to sing along

I love these swings at the new park. I don't know when they went in, but I didn't notice them until today. They look like a great place to have a coffee and hang out with a friend

The piano snowglobe is MINE!

Yesterday the internet was stupid & I missed surprise songs merch because Canadian addresses wouldn't work in the CA store. However, tonight I saw that the TTPD Snowglobe was available! Missed it last year & regretted it. It is mine (or will be soon) along with the cleaning cart ornament!

One short video from Spatial Pull by Mile Zero Dance at City Hall today. My friend Theresa (my massage therapist) is the one closest to the bottom. This is not slow motion - they moved very slowly down the stairs. It took Theresa 34 minutes to be in her final position. Great performance by all

A local amateur dance company is celebrating their 40th anniversary & did 'Spatial Pull' in City Hall today. This is not slow motion - they moved slowly as they 'fell' down the stairs & then danced on the landing. My friend is the one closest to the bottom. The artistic director is on the landing

This is my new office stool from Ikea. Adjustable height which means I can lean on it when I'm standing. However, given that I had used my previous office chair for close to 20 years, I kept smashing my toes on the feet. Enter bubble wrap & old socks. Don't need broken toes! One (2023) was enough

Same! This is last evening. It looked better from inside my apartment but did get this from the balcony.

Growing my own food, kitchen table edition. The good thing about sprouts is that it's quick. The lentils should be ready by tomorrow and the broccoli by Friday. I started them Sunday
My sprouts like to look out the window, that's why they are facing that way (but no direct sun).

The fence is still up most places around the new PARK (no longer a parking lot) but I could see more of it. Grand opening tomorrow. I am so excited to be able to walk through this and see all of the aspects particularly the playground area

I was at a small event last night. I estimated about 50 people. I was the only person who masked. CO2 close to 1400.

I feel the need to confess that I already bought Christmas pajamas a few weeks ago.
This is mostly a confession to @dnfloyd.bsky.social because I always give her a hard time about decorating for Christmas too early

Trying to decide if I need new Xmas jigsaw puzzles. This is the current inventory. Four of these have never been done before. (Yes, I do jigsaw puzzles more than once). This inventory brought to you by the fact that the seasonal jigsaw puzzle store has opened in City Center mall.
