Bit of a weird feeling right now. In less than 24 hours, I’ll be in my way to Heathrow airpot to fly Home to Canada for the last time.

Wow. November, and the Christmas adverts have started with a vengeance here in the UK. I’m not even sure that Maria Carey has defrosted yet.

Well, bad luck, Blue Jays. You had a good run, and I was about ready to stop mocking all blue jays for a year. ;)

Oh, forgot to post this one. When I was out in Reading on Wednesday, saw a monolith with a birb ad.

Mini-Koot’s adventures today too him here.

“Duck World”? Mini-Koot wonders why nowhere has a “Steller’s Jay World”

Mini-Koot is out travelling again today.

Meanwhile, who might I see at the LondonFurs thing tomorrow that I know ?

C’mon, Dodgers! Don’t make me have to do That Thing for a year! ;>

Getting very worried about the state of the sportsball series now.

Two more ticks ✔️

Reading station. Not a new “tick” as I’ve been here before. But Mini-Koot hasn’t - tick for him!

One more station tick. Had to postpone my plans to get three more due to another service being cancelled (no train crew) :P

Another station checked off. This one is very close by to my parents’ place, but in all the time I lived there I never travelled to/from this station. Also, very narrow platforms.

Dang it… sportsball series is tied 2-2 I’m getting worried here.

Pssst… go dodgers ;>

Waking up this morning and seeing a sportsball score:

And another ✔️

Taking advantage of some extra time before an appointment to tick off another couple of UK stations I’ve never visited.

So I’m a bit out of the loop with N American sportsball stuff as I’m in the UK right now. Have the Blue Jays epically collapsed out of the playoffs yet? ;> Remember: they win it all and I stop mocking all blue jays until they lose the title. They lose, and the mockery continues.

So… “fun” thing I need to do while I’m here in the UK: Renew my UK passport with urgency. Apparently it expired 2 days ago. Fortunately had my Canadian one with me too.

🛬Down safe LHR

Passing over Holyhead, Wales, as Mini-Koot enters the “mainland” of the UK.

Mini-Koot all boarded for his flight! (He didn’t pay for a ticket, so will be sneaking a ride in my pocket :P)

Mini-Koot spies the plane that will take us to the UK.

Mini-Koot has ridden the entirety of Line 2, and now it’s time for a bus to the airpot

Ok, Mini-Koot … let’s head to the UK for a few weeks.

Sadly, the centre speaker was kind of broke - sounded like most speech was through the speaker of a flip-style cellphone. Despite my pointing this out at the start of the trailers, didn’t get fixed. So, sat through it and got a free ticket. Feh… https://fursuits.online/@kootenay/115380608142025136

And now; in a near empty theatre (only one seat occupied other than me) to see “Tron: Ares” for some “podcast homework”

Stuff is getting more real for the UK move; - Pencilled in Dec 8 for shipping company to pack belongings (plan to fly out 1-2 days later) - Talked with another org for the trash/donate/sell of everything else that will remain

Ugh. Have to commute to the office today. But weirdly, this TTC train is actually half empty.

Will be flying back (not using my own wing power) to the UK on Thursday for just under 3 weeks. Brought out a big case (as well as a smaller one) to bring back, as will be doing 1 checked, 1 carryon (+1 laptop). Aim was to pack the big case with clothing to bring back and leave, but as I am […]

Portillo’s style chocolate caek was well received today.

Just wanna say: Go Mariners! I mean, I lived in Vancouver for just over 13 years, so they were my “local” team, so to speak ;>

Just checking… Are the Toronto Maple Leafs out of the playoffs yet?

@griffinwolf Happy thingy!

Well, last night definitely sucked for sleep… :P

So last night I went downtown with the intention of going to one of the few places in Toronto that does a good schnitzel. Except I was foiled in my plan by it being full of sportsball fans. Ugh.

I've just gotten the Formal Approval from my job for transferring to work out of the UK. Things can now start to be properly arranged. https://fursuits.online/@kootenay/115233026301057998

Did you hear that crash? Sounds like it's Fall now.

So apparently that local baseball team have made the playoffs. Well, same deal as every year; if they win the 'World' Series, I'll stop mocking blue jays until they no longer have the title.

Wholly carp Just got a phishing email on a very old honeypot address… for a on MySpace account I’d set up for a convention. Wow. I wonder what ancient trash pile they found that address in.

Things have progressed forward. No longer waiting on the Head of Product, as he said he's "supportive" of this move, thought it's "not a done deal yet" as it's "working it's way through the process" This sounds, on the whole, good news, and that it's likely with HR for them to make a contract […]

Kinda bummed out after this week. Was hoping to get the OK for the UK move plan from our Head of Product officer, after he’d been forwarded the email requesting it on Wednesday. So far, nothing. Everything on hold right now; not good as I was planning a trip back in Oct to sort stuff out.

Oof... Moving is complicated. Spoke with a company that specializes in moving people overseas, and apparently: - It causes problems with customs if I pack my own stuff - better to have moving companies do it and record it - Need a Transfer of Residence form for the UK filled out

Sadly, I have been without a cat home now for a year today, as that’s when I said my final goodbyes to Cylia, who was the best catten. I knew I couldn’t get more kitties with the UK move coming up. Maybe back in the UK I’ll be able to again. Miss you, catten.

Hurrah! Finally made L50 in #pokemongo !!
