Leaving convention centre this afternoon #winnipeg

Bubbly coffee.

Really do love the St. Luke's complex of church and hall in Fort Rouge #winnipeg

Downtown again today, seems pretty quiet, the calm before the Grey Cup Storm. Walked home via River and the village. #winnipeg

Background story to Winnipeg Cenotaph is interesting. German-born Canadian's design chosen in competition and then tossed, because Germany... Rules changed. His wife wins next competition, design tossed after furore... #winnipeg www.archiseek.com/1928-cenotap...

So I found this. Brandon Daily Sun, Aug 26, 1932, reports on 100ft high statue for Dun Laoghaire. Interesting but the best bit is the 2 line article underneath. "Black cattle only were used as sacrifices to Pluto, god of the lower world." By any standards, that's weird filler.

A reminder that sometimes memorials just hide in plain sight. Thousands probably walk past these daily in the Canada Life Centre and never glance at them. #winnipeg

Super interesting this - and very Manitoba relevant

The maker centre, ideamill, at the Millenium Library is fantastic. #winnipeg

Downtown at the library using their transparency scanner. #winnipeg

When your bank screws something up, won't tell you what it is and puts a smiley face in the email requesting you come back in..... seriously a smiley face. Scotiabank, we're smilier than you think

Cool kid.... www.bbc.com/news/article...

A Dublin woman who has crocheted thousands of 'Michael Tea Higgins' tea cosies is preparing for a new presidency

A lovely thing tonight

I think i need a beer, going slightly crosseyed looking at stuff.

Oh boy.

Had our front steps reconstructed yesterday, end of life - just the stairs so far, railings to come. But the central riser wasn't even a riser, it was a plank with several short plants nailed to it to support the middle of the threads. No wonder it flexed. #oldhouses

This is brilliant. Read.

Classic Irish postage stamp now in use again

Ah now, Dany Boy? Thankfully spelled whiskey correctly.

Made baked burritos tonight out of leftovers. Not as good as herself's but very tasty.

Shite. He was so good in the first good Monaghan team for 50 years. Saw him play many times. #comonaghan #monaghangaa

Was carrying the camera as opposed to phone today, and took the opportunity to take photos of the IKOY Building Older photos at www.ikoy.com/project/ikoy... #winnipeg #winnipegarchitecture

Visited the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, in Winnipeg, for first time in years. The building is still the star, as i wrote back in 2015 for the RIBA Journal. Design and materials have held up so well, still looks fresh and fantastic #winnipeg #winnipegarchitecture www.ribaj.com/buildings/ca...

Not really a fan of the RC church in the village, stuck head inside today for first time. Cannot say it's impressive architecturally.

So #winnipeg what are these posts for at the Forks?

Free Sunday at Museum of Human Rights #winnipeg

Real catchy and memorable url #winnipeg

Still don't understand the game but I want the Blue Jays to win so folks who do have a fricking great day.

Love how they have mass for the English and then one for the rest of the UK later.... Yes, I do know, but the sign should really be EN or UKR

Roisin was one of the judges on the Museum of Human Rights here in Winnipeg. Had a few pints together, very smart and thoughtful architect.

Fionn's on Grant is a sporting mecca today, at one point, Bombers on some tvs, Jets on others, and LFC on the remainder and sound. This reporter was going cross-eyed trying to watch the Bomber end of an era, and Liverpool. #ynwa #forthew #winnipeg

Ahhh Bombers. Been a fun run over the last bunch of years. End of an era. #winnipeg

Another odd time tomorrow as 3pm kick off against Villa. Also the Bombers are playing at 1pm in the Eastern Semifinal, so get in early for your regular seats. See you at Fionn's on Grant. #ynwa #winnipeg #winnipegsoccer

Pretty quiet for kids tonight, we are midway down block, and no houses lit west of us. And not much east of us either. Here be darkness.

Movie in porch while giving out candy

Any idea why the Canadian flag is at halfmast at La Verendrye School on Lilac? #winnipeg

Walked downtown this morning. Scaffolding down again at the gallery. #winnipeg

Ulm is fantastic. Standing at bottom, it's just incredible as it disappears upwards. You won't get the same feeling in Barcelona. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

So I saw this today and thought "what if the house was designed by the OC.... the route from the living room to the bathroom would involve several change of directions and maybe a big jump." #winnipeg

Lovely morning. #winnipeg
