We had a brief power cut this morning which took my router offline for hours and fried my Fibe tv receiver. Bell’s solution? I can upgrade and pay them $50 for a new tv receiver. #BellAliant has the absolute worst customer service of any organization ever.

Today I looked for two books on Libby and both were available to borrow. That is a library miracle and a sign that this weekend is going to be all about some long overdue r&r.

And a collective sigh of gratitude can be heard throughout the city 🌧️

A spot of cheerfulness thanks to Lesters Farm 🌻

I sat on this bench for almost half an hour (barely a soul around) watching three whales put on a show. It’s almost impossible to capture a photo with my phone but it was absolutely beautiful #PettyHarbour #MaddoxCove

When cleaning out the shed I found this beauty, it was covered in dirt & rusty but a little elbow grease & it came to life. I was surprised to plug it in & see it worked, equally as surprised by the light. It was a wedding gift for my parents, parties in the 60’s must have been wild 😅

I can hear that weather without my hearing aids 😅 Going to be a late night. #ShowUsYourWeather

Real life riddle - Last summer I stored a huge tote of cables in the shed. I’m cleaning out the shed today and thinking I’ll throw away those cables. How long will it be before I need one of them and have to buy it again 😅🥹

In a day filled with heavy news and conversations, this made me chuckle (it’s hard to know what’s real anymore - a quick fact check tells me the cover is real) Well done @scotnational.bsky.social

Bowring Park again. Mid morning and this woman was attacked by someone not known to her. It is not safe to walk alone.

My son’s vehicle was formerly owned by a heavy smoker and despite having the car detailed (and trying charcoal and baking powder and vinegar and all the cleaners) it’s been impossible to get rid of the stale smell. Does anyone know of anywhere in St John’s that use ozone treatments for cleaning?

Great time to visit Lester’s Farm ☀️☀️ fresh picked strawberries are available and they also have a good selection of lettuce. I may have slipped a tray of baked goods in my bag as well #ShopLocal

Unexpectedly found my favourite treat at Costco. About to slip into a Chips Coma 😍

I finally found Topsail Bluff and it didn’t disappoint, what a stunning view. Can’t wait to go back some evening for sunset.

Does anyone know if the whales have come in to St Vincent’s yet? Hoping to make a run out this week.

Fabulous Foods for the win. Can you get any better for a cold plate?

Do I have Bluesky friends who are car savvy and can help with a brakes question for me? I am not fully trusting the info the dealer has given me and want to sound like I know what I am talking about when I call them back 🥹

The best part of my day so far, spending time with family and my mother made me this homemade #cherrycake. Cherry cake for the birthday win!

😅 Happy Birthday to me. It’s a beautiful day out there to celebrate ☀️

I’m trying to find info on the Dog First Aid that I think Sarah was offering but I can’t find her or the link 🤷🏼‍♀️ can anyone pls help me out?

Attn KMart shoppers If you or someone you know has Canada Dental Plan coverage, it may need to be renewed and today may be that renewal deadline, check your dental card and look for details here at Canada.ca/dental (it can be renewed over the phone 😊) #CanadaDentalPlan

I forgot myself for a moment and replied to a post when I should have just held a little Block party. Why are the bots still going? The election is over #NoSeatPete did not win his seat, move along.

5 minutes in to trying a puzzle for the first time since elementary school and I just remembered I wasn’t very good at them then either 😅 Anyone have any good puzzling tips to share?

A little Yorkshire Gold in honour of International Tea Day. Actually, any day is a good day for Yorkshire tea 🫖😊

The new Canada Disability Benefit will be available soon. It’s an income-tested benefit for low- and modest-income working-age persons with disabilities - details here on who is eligible and how to apply:

I’d like to buy a puzzle and puzzle board as a gift. Does anyone know where I may find one in St John’s or area? Haven’t had any luck with Michaels or ToysRUs.

A security clearance is not a gag order.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Dear all the staff who manage waiting rooms - when you have a telly available for your client that is great, please consider turning on the close captions as well, especially when the tv is on mute #AccessibiltyMatters

If I’m being accidentally added to a group chat, it better be the #PlattChat

Love this 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

My son lost his wallet a few days ago, we searched high and low no luck. Just had a knock at the door and someone left the wallet in our mailbox before O got downstairs. To the super great person in the white Jeep, thank you for restoring my faith in kindness.

Anyone have advice to share on getting rid of a treadmill in the basement? It has to go out upstairs, preferably this week before new flooring is installed. Is it easier to dismantle it completely & dispose of it or pay a mover to magically make it go away? I’m assuming they’ve equipment for that?

I had to say goodbye to this guy a few weeks ago, Bob the Cat gave us 17 years of love and stories and adventure and is sorely missed 💔 Today I received a lovely card from the Vet, I didn’t know they did that and my heart is broken all over again. A small kindness that’s much appreciated.

Has anyone started watching Reacher Season 3 yet? I’m wondering what episode(s) were filmed here in St John’s?

This is a great article, I hope I shared it properly. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Every time I visit Chapters I’m salty there’s no coffee shop. Why hasn’t someone replaced Starbucks? It’s just not the same.

Just me doing my bit 😍 @chapmans.ca

Banning American beer is a more of a public service than retaliation.

There is no value you can place on good neighbours and I am so grateful that mine are the best. When I eventually sell up, I will have to add them as a main feature ❄️

Here's the website we heard about on CBC Radio this morning, to help you locate Canadian products and services: madeinca.ca

Love them or hate them, if you need a treat for you family or friends away, Marie’s on Blackmarsh still has some of these in stock.

PSA. There’s hardly a soul at Costco. There is no line up at the self check out. People are smiling. No one hit me with their cart. I feel like I’m in an alternate universe.

Took a stroll along the beach to leave my 2024 worries behind. Here’s to a Happy and Healthy New Year. May 2025 bring you peace and comfort and all the good things.

My annual Christmas mug is a beauty 😊🎄

Does anyone else remember using a shoe bag in the winter? I’ve somehow managed to keep this one from the early 80’s - it could tell a lot of stories from the places it has been.

One of the best online Christmas traditions - glad it found it's way to the blue skies😅 Happy Christmas 🎄

Today me is incredibly thankful that I booked a few weeks off over 🎄I’m looking forward to some lazy days and r&r. Christmas can be hard for some of us, go gentle and remember to be kind to yourself.
