Went to visit a neighbour who I’ve not seen in a spell. Turns out she has a seriously herniated disc and is in a boatload of pain 😢 On the surgical wait list, hopefully 6 months 🤞🏼

The boiler is down in our building. No shower for me 😣 I’ve boiled the kettle to wash up a few dishes and put a pork roast & veggies in the crock pot 😊

Good cold, blessedly calmish, Thursday 😊 The Hooman has been walked 🐾 Hoping the gales are done for a long spell 🤞🏼 Coffee and cuddle time 🥰☕️☕️

Bowie and his girlfriend, Lottie at snowy doggy day care yesterday 💕

Hoping for a good night’s sleep. The wind has died down to a respectable 23mph. Thank Dawg 🙏

In good news, my arm doesn’t hurt as bad as days past. It’s been brutal. On the upswing? 🤞🏼 I don’t know what I did to get that 😣

Home. Treat time has been had 😊 Tea time for Mum 🫖 Lots of gusty fresh air today 🥱

Still windy. Tonight’s evening walksies includes crashing waves 😊🐾 Sounds wonderful but I didn’t shoot video as all you would hear is wind noise. Onward…

Bring back Lettuce! It’s more intelligent 😖

The feds increased health spending in the last decade by a HUGE %, which none of the provinces matched. The feds provided large lump sum top-ups.... which the provinces "lost". The feds offered more money as long as the provinces promised to spend it on health care - the provinces rejected it

We have been to the bark park to get blown to bits. Not many leaves left 😕 Lots of 🐿️🐿️ & 🎾🎾 equals tired pupper. Have a cozy little beagle 😊

Gorgeous 😮💕

It’s a start.

The wind chill just hit 0C. My weather app is optimistic 😅

It’s interesting that you can tell when the winds were at their strongest (middle of the night) by checking the NOAA Buffalo water levels 😮 Must be a tad sloshy at the east end of the lake 🌊 There’s a low water warning here on the west end.

Good MF gusty Wednesday 💨 It’s going to be a long day.. couldn’t sleep due to the roar of 80kmh winds overnight 😖 The Beagle has taken his Hooman for long walksies 🐾 Home, snuggling under blankie, with coffee 😊💕☕️☕️

I have to call he garage to book oil change, winter tyres and brakes check. But, I also have to call the doc as something weird is going on with my back that’s shooting pain down my arm 😖 Priorities.

Housecleaning day was today. I have no idea where the proliferation of dust bunnies come from 😣 Go away.

It’s a bit challenging to type with a beagle licking your hand 😅❤️

This wind can eff off any time 😖 Walksies are exhausting in gusts 🐾 Tea time 🫖

The Great Lakes - lake effect snow machine is still grinding away 😣 Grateful, not to be in its path! If you are, stay safe!

Unsurprisingly, there’s an outbreak (unknown type) at my Mum’s LTC. When I was there, Friday, I was the sole person masked 😡

Thank you for your courage, your determination, your honour, your sacrifice and for our freedom ❤️ Lest we forget #RemembranceDay

Good frigging freezing Tuesday 😖 The snow is sticking about. This morning’s dark walksies was fast paced in a brutal NW wind. I would like to return Winter, Mother Nature. It does not fit 🥶 Coffee! ☕️☕️☕️

BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼🏳️‍🌈💕

😡😡😡

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm. The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song. This is the story of this terrible tragedy. 🧵1/20

Good fcuking frigid Monday 🥶 Lots of black ice on morning walksies 🐾 Happy to report, bones still in place. I’ve had enough of winter 😡 Coffee! ☕️☕️☕️

Happiness is a snuggly, snoring pupper 😊❤️

This is a large system. It’s snowing all the way from Quebec into Michigan 😖 Hang in there, folks ❤️

It’s stopped snowing here but the wind is brutal 🥶 How are the rest of you doing? Safe and warm, I hope 🤞🏼

I am wet & frothe. Could barely feel my fingers and legs 🥶 Nonetheless, Mr. Happy Hunter Beagle chased all the 🐿️🐿️ Spot the beagle 😊

Good miserable Sunday 😖 We are blankie snuggling after cold, windy, rainy morning walksies 🐾 All the damn coffee ☕️☕️☕️

I think I wore out the beagle 👍🏼 I know I wore me out 🥱

Tomorrow’s forecast here: Cold wind and MF rain all day, turning into snow at night. I fcuking hate November 😡

If it ever warms up and is not windy, I must get out and restring the solar lights I bought. They’re too bunched together for my taste.

Tonight’s evening walksies was dreary 🐾 The dark point of land on the horizon is Point Pelee NP. Started out lightish - ended in dark a few miles later 😣 Tea time! 🫖😊

High winds + low water ground a freighter in the Detroit River (which is unusual 😮) www.am800cklw.com/news/canadia...

Survived a couple of hours @ the bark park! Best things about heated vest: it heats quickly, plenty warm on low & you don’t have to wear umpteen layers 😊 The 🐿️🐿️ & 🎾🎾 have been chased. have a grumpy beagle, as he had to wear his coat 😅 Nap time!
