Seems a timely moment to ask again: #MUNMCI #MUFC #GGMU

I’m at IKEA.

Handsomest of nature’s winged creatures, n’est-ce pas?

Just had to share this awesome pic I took of a beautiful bird...for no apparent reason.

All the Blue Jays look like children who recently wished to be turned into adults

How about those Toronto Blue Jays?!? 🐦

Starting back in on this series! #FridayReads

The Blue Jays have just got to bounce back and win this one, right? Right? 😅

#FridayReads I’ve been enjoying this, wasn’t expecting it to be so droll!

Here's some reasonably good news for a change of pace: www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Gladiator 2 really sucked.

Being optimistic about United each matchday is beginning to feel like the whole "stopped clock is right twice a day" saying. Except it's now a 24 hour clock so we're right to be optimistic even less than before.

I need to remember to share my fears for the future so that I can also share my joy when they are overcome.

Here’s a mild take for your Friday: Pooja and Gurdeep are fantastic morning radio hosts on CHFI in Toronto, always a fun and pleasant listening experience. 📻

O tempora! O mores!

Romans whose writing we have from the 4th-6th centuries AD didn't really know they were living through the fall of the Roman Empire in the west. A new emperor might fix things. If somebody can just get a handle on those dang barbarians, everything will be fine. Now, about that party next week...

Dreadful. #MUFC #MUNARS

A nice galactic diversion. Hardcover/Digital/Audio trifecta. #FridayReads

Allez Vicky, indeed! #WTA #CanadianOpen 🎾

Love what I’m seeing from Victoria Mboko this evening, Canadian tennis is in a good place. 🎾 #CanadianOpen #WTA

I like a lot of the people on here but if I’m honest spending any amount of time online these days is not the best for my mental health.

Disgusting on multiple levels.

Still working through this one, Oats is proving a more compelling POV character than I'd expected- well played, Mr. French! #FridayReads 📚

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Here’s an eclectic #LastFourWatched 🎥

🍁

I guess it’s time for #FridayReads! Time to get cracking on this one, helped by my custom bookmark received for Father’s Day!

Another school year done here in Ontario, congrats to all the teachers and enjoy the break. On a personal note I hope both my kids have excellent teachers and minimal disruptions to learning for the new cycle starting September. You only get to be a small child once, and they deserve the best.

The time has come! For light and life. #FridayReads

Let there be peace.

Got a good physical/audio duo going on. One is the very epitome of a doorstopper Fantasy book, the other a physics primer that actually has me lol-ing. #FridayReads #BookSky 📚

I read to both my daughters for bedtime tonight and life is good.

Sad to hear about the passing of Marc Garneau. He was the first Canadian to go into space and flew on three space shuttle missions. RIP.

I post such things as part of my continuing endeavour to be The Internet's Most Boring Man. 😅

I just bought some absolutely gorgeous cherry tomatoes grown right here in Ontario. 🍅 If nothing else I am much more sensible about where the produce I buy for my family comes from these days, for reasons both political and environmental, so I guess that's a silver lining.

I reviewed RAVENLOFT: THE HEIR OF STRAHD by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social, muah-hahahaha 🧛🏻‍♂️

Don’t see it happening now. Credit to PSG, it’s not often these days you see a team play where they all seem to have such a clear idea of what they want to do with the ball in every possible location on the pitch. Inter looking shell-shocked.

Kind of a ho-hum #UCLFinal for me so far but plenty can still happen, particularly if Inter can scrounge a goal somehow and rattle PSG in the slightest.
