    February 16, 2023. While getting groceries today I stopped in for lunch here. During the noonhour it's always pretty busy, and you can get a lot of food for not too much money. No meetings today, but time spent on some paperwork to prepare for an upcom...

    February 15, 2023. The birds were lined up cheek to jowl at the bird feeder, with other flying around jockeying for position. Another nice warm day today, but I couldn't get out because of, once again, meetings, including a rare get-together of the res...

    February 14, 2023. Happy Valentine, says this squirrel in the back yard. It was nice today; I actually got to try out the new bicycle for a short 3 km ride. Nice. It was also a day of meetings, including one I though would be short that stretched into ...

    February 15, 2023
    February 11, 2023. This is a cardinal enjoying some feeder food in late afternoon. The last few weeks have been hard on the birds and I'm making sure there's food for them. Aside from a 3km or so walk around the neighbourhood today was mostly an indoor...

    February 11, 2023
    February 9, 2023. Canada has no end of ways to torment us during winter. This is the result of ice fog - it's part fog, part ice, and it clings to everything. This shot was taken quite early so we could get to the store and back before the working day ...

    February 8, 2023. My alarm clock on a small stand across the room (because I cannot be trusted to have it beside the bed). Another busy day - not as bad as the previous day, where I thought I was multitasking all day, but still hectic. It involved revi...

    February 7, 2023. Spent a fair amount of time and a lot of money in the dentist's chair today. I've noticed over the years that my front teeth are wearing out with age, and so has my dentist, so we redid the sharp edges of all of them at once. It chang...
