    Grass

    by
    June 27, 2021. This is grass as seen from the bathroom window in the basement. I like the way we see the clouds behind it. Still working on papers. I'm not actually posting this until a few days later - you can get a sense of my state of mind by how I ...

    New Feeder

    by
    June 26, 2021. Andrea says this is a type of finch, because of the shape of the bill, and although it looks like a sparrow I am inclined to agree. It's probably a female, and might be a purple finch. Anyhow, as you can see, we have a new feeder, one sp...

    All 5 Design Assignments

    by
    When creating this assignment I knew I wanted to merge two sandwich places together. I ended up choosing Subway and Burger king. I took upon myself to do my own variation of it. I took the burger king’s colors and inserted into the subway logo in a way that was similar to the burger king’s […]

    Reflecting back: on work connections and the magic of memories

    by
    A couple of weeks ago I had my last day at Transport for NSW, a large State Government agency that I had been working within for over 9.5 years. This was a milestone for many reasons: not only was it the first government organisation I’d worked in, it was the first time I’d worked within … Continue reading Reflecting back: on work connections and the magic of memories

    Take-off to Dublin – Chapter Two from the book i-Land – A double Irish and a Dutch

    by
    Arrangements Monday morning the interview was postponed to the next day as the connection did not work. Avoka’s dad was also in the house and already started his usual moaning that whatever Avoka was doing or saying wasn’t right, not good enough and was complaining about whatever he could find. The next day Avoka had… Continue reading Take-off to Dublin – Chapter Two from the book i-Land – A double Irish and a Dutch

    Julia

    by
    June 25, 2021. This is Julia, still recovering from having a tooth removed, but of a better demeanor than she has been recently (though that might be the drugs speaking). She's eating (soft food) well and seems pretty active, so it's all good news. Did...

    Mallows

    by
    June 23, 2021. These are mallows blooming on our front lawn beside the driveway, take after I returned from another short after-work bike ride. While in St. Albert I discovered my rear tire was soft; the small hand pump I've been carrying around more m...

    Licking

    by
    June 22, 2021. This is Charlemagne licking his nose as seen through the wide-angle lens. Today my focus was less on work and more on cats as Julia spent the day at the vet getting a tooth removed - it grew in all curved and was tearing at the inside of...

    Little Castor River

    by
    June 21, 2021. This is the view looking down from the bridge over the Little Castor River about 5km east of town. I've vowed to get out more during the week after spending the last three weeks not really getting out at all at lunch or after work. This ...

    About me

    by
    Welcome to my blog! This may be my first post, but I hope to make more posts in the future. If you want to learn more about me, I also have a YouTube channel, a twitter, Flickr, and SoundCloud. If I don’t post an update here, then check one of those. As I’m still relatively […]

    Young Chickadee

    by
    June 20, 2021. I'm guessing this is a young chickadee, based on the colouring and the mottled feathers. We spotted this and much more during our hike today on Stony Swamp Trail, in Ottawa's southwest. First time we've been there, and it's really quite ...

    Life in a Small Town

    by
    June 19, 2021. Today was windy and not very pleasant for a bike ride but I put in 66 km anyway just to enjoy scenes like this, a typical day at a typical diner in small town Ontario. https://flic.kr/p/2m6ujSq

    Wet

    by
    June 18, 2021. You can see what sort of weather we had today by these leaves from the front lawn. I like to get a Friday ride in before my Saturday ride (Sundays are reserved for hiking with Andrea) but it wasn't happening this week. I did finally get ...

    Crabapples

    by
    June 17, 2021. These are crabapples developing in our tree in the back yard. This is easily the best season our beleagured little tree has had. Another long meeting today which was moderately interesting, as well as a continuation of the Twitter debate...
