I love my curling club. 🥰

Be kind to yourself. Eat brown cheese every day until Christmas. Call it your advent calendar! Riktig koselig! ☃️🩵

When a Skandi dates an Italian… good things happen. Pannetone + Brown cheese 💕

New puppy introductions. Adorable 🥰

It’s just after sunset at 4:20pm. The moon looks yellow! I’ve never heard of a yellow moon. 🌕 ❄️

Simple joys. Making white paper snowflakes makes me happy 🩵

Left over porridge and old bananas. Wave the magic baking wand…and voila! Delicious mini muffins. 😘

I love being Canadian ❤️🇨🇦❄️

Taken one year ago on the Aegean Sea. I miss being on the ocean. Can’t wait to sail on the North Atlantic and Norwegian Sea in June 💙🖤

❤️ 🍄

So relaxing ❤️

Sometimes I need to light a candle for just me. This life can be a lot to bear. 🥰 Kiss it better.

These trees are suspended above the floor. Doc coming soon: “The Firless”, the true story of murdered strung up Christmas trees. Oh the horror!!! 🤭

Ottawa Small Press book fair was more fun than a barrel of monkey shine. #robmclennen thank you so much for hosting and being easy to chat with. Thank you to all the publishers & I especially would like to thank #amandaearl, #stuartross, #turrethouse, and #commonground for their kind conversations.

I’m attending a poetry reading tonight. Small venue, small publisher… but there will be stars dancing in my eyes, and I’ll dream in every moment, that I will be next.

Sunset after a foggy day today in early winter. Ottawa 🇨🇦

Hyggelig kveld med venner! Smørbrød med Aquivit og besøk! Fantastisk ❤️🇨🇦🇩🇰🇳🇴

Smørbrød with friends tonight. Two hours of food preparation done, and have the general plan for a hyggelig evening. I’m excited to share my culture with my friends who are Ukrainian, English, and Italian Canadians. I love Canada. So many cultures. 🇩🇰 🇳🇴 ❤️🤍❤️🇨🇦

The season of quiet is here ❤️

My winter neighbourhood is adorable. I love it best after 4pm when it’s dark.

Trees are life. Water is life. We are are all one thing. This sacred life. 🙏

West coast Vancouver Island Canada

Remembrance Day Canada. Democracy is worth personal sacrifices. Peace needs protectors.

My country is so big, a 5.5h direct flight got me across about 2/3 of it. Happy to hangout with my sis in Victoria, BC

A few flakes of snow. A view looking out toward my little mountain. Winter takes too long to come. I miss the north.

Learn more. Look to the north. 🇨🇦

This is how I’ve done my whole life. My curiosity and drive don’t leave me in peace. Why I can boldly call myself a writer. ✍️

Headed to IKEA for a fun coffee time with friends.

Good things in life are usually simple, and require little. They are our gifts.

Getting set for the dark and cold days. Hyggelig vinter ❄️

My little buddy came by for Halloween 🎃 🩷🧡

Near the Ottawa River today. Lots of water moving through the land.

East Ottawa River this afternoon.

Knitting is best when I make my own pattern 🤍🩵💚🩶

Colour me joy.

I messed around with a snap of me resting my low back on a heating pad. I liked how my top, yoga pants and heating pad met. The textures were interesting. So I played with it and got this edition of the photo.

Fall hangs on 🧡🩷

I live here, so I can. And, I do. 🇨🇦

I swam 3.5km today. I’m super proud of that. I’m three months recovered from two broken ribs and I’m so thankful for health and healing. ❤️‍🩹

I came upon this little maple leaf settled in on the rocky shoreline of the Ottawa River. And I’m sad, and proud, and grateful, all at once. I feel like it means something, but I don’t know what.

a poem, a story, an essay or two and a new review of the book of sentences; robmclennan.blogspot.com/2025/10/a-po...

August in Ottawa 🇨🇦

Good morning from my perch

Keeping Canada sexy. 😆
