Stephen Harper, our PM prior to Trudeau, used to foster cats for the Ottawa Humane Society in the official residence, which I thought was cool even if I wouldn't vote for the guy on a cold day in hell.
Another day is winding down. Tea and cookies time!
Vibes, Gill, for both your clavicle and your parents.
COVID situation here has improved, at least in my city. Province still needs work. Apparently all people in longterm care in my city should be done for first shot by end of this week. After that, though, we are apparently in trouble due to a major shortage at Pfizer (their plant in Europe is having work done or something). Based on the vaccination plan I have seen so far, I am looking at Spring at the earliest.
Not much else going on. Keep working on some writing in fits and starts (more fits than starts, truth be told).
Tea and couple dog bones. Or are those the dog treats? Oh God, what am I eating?!?!?
Mini-marshmallows!!!! Bags and bags of them!!
Yeah, I was happy to see Roland around, too, and told him as much.
Snowing, but just light flurries. Figured winter would be back eventually. At least it's not enough to bother shovelling (yet).
Enjoying some tea as I work from home. Actually, would anyone mind if I just take over a table and chair here for the day? I'm sure the Wifi is decent and if not, there's always my phone's hotspot.
I'm kind of afraid of boats in general (not a swimmer), but probably sailboat at this point (really, I prefer canoes).
Read the book or watch the movie?
Fairies (though gnomes can be fun, too)
Friendly, pretty fairies or the darker, mischievous kind?
Got my daily exercise in. Got some more work done on a long gestating story set in my fantasy world. Will likely be gestating a bit longer. I'm thinking this is headed for 6-7K words based on progress so far (currently at c. 2300). Watched some Youtube. Yep, it must be Saturday.
Think I'll now grab a couple birthday cookies, make a green tea, and crash out in one of those comfy chairs while I figure out where this story goes next (And, really, where it is going in general. Still not sure of the ending.)
Summer sun. I don't like the heat but it beats shovelling.
S-F or Fantasy?
Hmmm. I'm a bit tired of average days. Too many of those in 2020. So I'll take the good with the bad.
Live in the city or live in the country?
And I did go for a walk (don't tell my boss, though) and it was glorious. Sunny, not too cold. Did my regular summer route but avoided woods (the trails aren't maintained in winter).
* grabs a couple random animal cookies and settles by the fire with a lemon-ginger tea *
I would like to be contemplating life, but work gets priority right now. Just wrapping up my lunch hour. Nice day here. Debating if 4C is warm enough to go for a walk. My Canadian nature says "go for it".
Afternoon tea is on. Orange pekoe with a shot of lime juice.
So, I went out to get the mail tonight, took a couple steps on to the driveway and went "great big nope". It was like stepping on to a skating rink. There was freezing drizzle in the forecast and I guess we got some.
My neck of the woods is once again in a "state of emergency" and "stay at home" due to everybody's (not) favorite virus. There's the usual raft of exceptions to the latter. We shall see if this helps bring numbers down, though I suspect that it being two weeks passed since the holidays will accomplish that as much as anything we actually do now.
Good evening, all. * grabs an assortment of cookies while the kettle boils *
Been working on my other site a bit. Renewed their software and domain, tinkering with an update to part of the site. And also getting housework done.
Now it is time to rest a bit with some tea and ... ooooo, carrot cake cookies.z8phBJgllusqaRhM
Chocolate chip all the way...
Pasta or pizza?
Keep those ginger snaps a coming. They go well with my evening tea.
Nice day here, today. Too bad it was a work day and I didn't really get out. Maybe if things stay nice into the weekend (though it is still a bit chilly).
The jokes wrote themselves, though no legal action ever occurred that I heard of.) 
I've put some in the cupboard behind the new chair you brought. And there's a couple big, cozy quilts on the couch for serious power napping.
