Holiday Monday = Spa Day 😌

A very quiet Friday at the office #TGIF

The Crosstown LRT has been under construction since I moved to Eglinton in late 2012. Delays, cost overruns, businesses impacted by construction, you name it. Slightly surreal—and anticlimactic—for it to finally open after all this time. And yet! Took my first ride today, many more to come.

First run in a while. Felt good, even in the cold 🥶

This one hurts 😭

A wintry morning walk ❄️

Enjoying the winter weather in a friend’s picturesque backyard.

-24°C? It’s a stay in bed and read kind of day.

My belated Nintendo year in review. Always mean to play more, but can never quite carve out as much time as I want. Hopefully I can get some good gaming in this year!

Out for a skate ⛸️

Shopping and selfies to start the new year 🛍️

@thestorygraph.com 2025 Reading Wrap-Up. Didn’t quite make my goal of 36 books for the year, but enjoyed what I did manage to read. This also doesn’t count how many times I re-read the “Game Changers” series 😬

Birthday boy 🎂

P&P was my favourite for the longest time. But more recently, Persuasion, with its longing, second-chance at love, and biting wit has become the one I enjoy most. #JaneAusten250

Trees are up! 🎄

My Apple Music Replay ‘25 year in review. So much good new pop music this year, but will never stop listening to some of my favourite classical albums. Walking, running, travelling, working, cooking, falling asleep…music always keeps me company.

It’s here! Watched the two-episode premiere of #HeatedRivalry and loved it. A faithful adaptation that’s entertaining, cheeky, and, yes, steamy 🔥. Now to wait a week for the next episode to drop…

Always happy to be back in Vancouver, even when it’s grey.

A night at the @torontosymphony.bsky.social! Powerful and engaging performances of Sibelius’s Finlandia with the TSYO, de Hartmann’s Violin Concerto featuring soloist Joshua Bell (followed by a surprise encore of Chopin!), and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7. All conducted by the commanding Dalia Stasevska.

without music, life would be a blank to me #JaneAusten #Emma

New painting purchase. Keeping the summer dream alive as the first snowfall of the season arrives.

Quick lunch run 🏃‍♂️

It really is Fall, time to break out the long sleeves. 🏃‍♂️

Ford just put every renter in Ontario into an even more precarious position. This is a clear and present danger to the 1.7 million renters in Ontario.

Sunday spa day ✨

Aly & AJ at Massey Hall. Really loved hearing their new album live. So much emotion behind the songs, and their voices and harmonies sounded incredible in this venue. Plus an encore of Potential Breakup Song? Perfection.

The closest I get to caring about hockey. Hurry up November 28! #heatedrivalry

10k to start the day. Happy Saturday!

Lorde in Toronto! A jam-packed setlist, creative lighting, and a loud crowd that couldn’t get enough. Ribs was the last song, an emotional and fitting end to an amazing concert.

Sunday runday 🏃‍♂️

Amazing performance of Orff’s Carmina Burana by the @torontosymphony.bsky.social and Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. My first time hearing it performed live, and a wonderful way to kick off the new season!

A Totoro kind of morning 🌱

@tomaspaul.bsky.social in Toronto! Loved the set list, vocals were on point, had so much fun. Come back again!

Dua! Such a fun, sexy, joyful show. Radical Optimism is what we all need a bit of right now.

Almost the long weekend mood. #TGIF

A bop!!!

SHE DID IT!! 🏆 Huge congratulations to Victoria Mboko!! 🇨🇦♥️🎾

Antiquing on a long weekend? Groundbreaking.

Just a little humid out for today’s run 💦

Post-run golden hour

Well, I got it!

Such a perfect album

Can't believe it's been a whole year since I made this. Thank you to everyone who's shared what it means to them seeing Pride represented with images from near and far, all across the universe. The original page was taken down, but can still be found on archive.org: web.archive.org/web/20250129...

New summer activity: tennis lessons. Second one in and skills are slow to build. Footwork and set up is challenging, but the one-handed backhand is feeling smooth!

Cabin Fever is OUT NOW! Available to stream, buy, download everywhere! PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE! linktr.ee/TomAspaul This is just the beginning ❤
