Dog's chest rubbed & liver treat accepted. Now gone to extort his father figure. Hit two 47/10 bangers in a row at the library. Loved Liane for years. Just discovered Laura. Lucky me!

The Week Between Christmas and New Years

I replied to someone about the Christmas truce during WW1. Can't find the thread again. Sigh. My maternal grandfather told the story too. He served in the trenches 100+ years ago. Here's a decent link to John McDermott's commemoration: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai-v...

I've been put on a moderation list. For people who don't like AI. Pretty proud. Seems I've hit the big time now. Request your autographs while they're still affordable!

Tree up. Tourtierre making on the to-do list. Wouldn't be Christmas Eve without it.

Karoline Leavitt is the latest target of This Hour has 22 Minutes… 😂 #USpoli #Canada

Fat & sassy wontons going into cottage roll juice saved from Cdn Thanksgiving with the last of our green onions planted late for this occasion.

"Charlie Brown" is trending. Scrolled an inordinate way down the feed. Still have no idea what's going on. Declaring myself officially old tonite. Ugh.

8pm as I write. So the clock says. Feels like midnight. Why does one lousy hour make such a difference? This is the easy one - an extra hour to sleep in - what's not to like? Voting if anybody cares to get rid of DST so we don't have to do this every six months.

Got started on my Christmas "shopping" today

Happy Thanksgiving!

Chicken bbq tonite with the last of the mesquite chips. Gonna miss mesquite. Learned of it when we visited Napa Valley in 1984. Not buying them anymore. Just one Canadian who loved visiting Calif. Yr tainted with the same brush. Sorry.

Took an inordinate amount of time to find this clip. Best interpretation of this song IMO. I needed it tonight. Hope it brings some comfort to others too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc8D...

Canadian Ron James 👍💯🇨🇦 #cdnpoli He delivers the perfect blend of humor and truth.

Escaping the angst with some Candadian content tonight www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwK7...

Fettuccini tonite with fresh tomato sauce (ripest of the backlog used!) + buns in the air fryer. Still 30ish degrees today but managed to make an indoor meal. Win.

May have started too many tomatoes for a 2 person household. xtended fam will be getting spaghetti sauce, chili base & what Brian calls 'burnt tomatoes' = cherries+ honeybunch minis in the air fryer with garlic for pizza base all winter

Fruit fly season! Head's up wine drinkers. Just tossed a full glass with four of the little rotters in it. Somebody needs to invent a window/door screen with a wee bit smaller mesh. They flew right past my trap of apple cider & dish soap. Google says they like that best. Wrong. They prefer wine.

If you don't like this feel free to unfollow. This is Canadian content that appeals to me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydm3...

Mesquite smoked chicken. Baby potatoes. Carrots. Broccoli. Lettuce + scallions with sour cream dressing. All but the chicken grown on site.

Talking to myself: fresh out of the shower. How many actually rinse and repeat with the shampoo? Always seemed like a marketing gimmick. Hair seems fluffy enough after one application. Any feedback?

Lots of blossoms on the kiwi vine this year

Hey all four of you who read my stuff: This chap is oh-so-follow-worthy bsky.app/profile/knec...

It's peony season!

Notice on my phone: I can accept the AI update now or wait until it's automatically added. Will summarize my emails for me. Like how do you summarize "See ya then" "Invoice attached" or "WTF?" which is most of them.

Cardinal clematis putting on a show. The double white is a bit unclear on the trellis concept. Still pretty but makes me cringe to the right when looking at it. Maybe a bit OCD?

Pink clematis putting on quite a show this year. She was supposed to grow over the utility infrastructure but didn't get the memo. I've forgiven her.

Haven't watched Star Wars for while. Isn't the red light saber the one the villain used?

🤣🦅🤣

Want to apologize to the folks I've been blocking. Nothing personal for most. Seem like nice people. Signed up for too many starter kits. I need and enjoy humour + art. Just not a constant timeline of busty babes.

Prolly talking to myself again. Anybody remember Walter Bowles? In earliest memories he hosted a children's show on CBC radio. Got tv when I was 6. CBC radio was always on b4 that. I recall his voice as part of my childhood and think his kids/grandkids might like to know that he's fondly remembered

So tonite I learned how to change decimal amounts in Excel. Committee didn't like the rounding & random spacing in the monthly budget document. "Help" doesn't. Google does if you try enough different phrases. Wine & some foul language greased the wheels. Happy ending. That's what really matters

Not sure I’m cool with Poilievre’s new slogan: Chicks Go Stale - Stoppons Chicks Le Ticky Tocky

Elbows up, Canada!

TGIF. Hit the LDB for some weekend libations. Used to enjoy a Fetger's gerwitz but that was then. Hardys' is a tasty alt produced by commonwealth allies.

Getting ready for spring planting

1st world problem: Microwave (OTR) died. Supply issues = April b4 a replacement with installation. Brian & Edward installed a new unit today sourced "available now" search. Foul language and use of tools not mentioned in the manual ensued. Edward supervises up close and personal. Unit working great

Never in my life have I needed an emotional boost so much. Thank you Team Canada for providing it. Bursting with joy. It's our game. Thank you for winning it for all of us.

I hate to brag but just successfully installed a new printer. Only took 2 hours. There may have been some strong language involved. At no time did the setup instructions mention the need to use the menu on the xxxx printer itself to connect to the wifi. Kinda important.

Anybody else make Christmas Crepes? I stuff them with leftovers and a wee log of Balderson's old cheddar. Quick and easy meal in March/April when the turkey tedium has faded. Also: what does the photo icon look like on an android phone so I don't have to email pix to myself? Multi-tasking.

I know nothing and I can prove it. Seems 4 people followed me. (Really? !!!!!) I checked out one and followed them back. When I went back to the bell, nobody else showed. So if I missed you on following back. Sorry. Stated as a Canadian - when we say that we mean it. Ugh.

2024 kiwi harvest. Male isn't producing flowers yet. Somehow we got some fruit. Any kiwi growers know if they will be edible? They are still hard as rocks and don't want to waste one as I already know they taste nasty at this stage. Picked them because we've had a light frost.
