Hi, Verbs, nice to see you here.

My son sent me some pictures of his new digs and the view from his place. He can see the ski resorts above Vancouver and looking the other way he can see down into the city center. He can't wait until he is out of quarantine. He will have a week to explore before his new job starts.

I hope everyone is having a good Wednesday. I'll raid the cookie jar, thanks, Sarah.

Cheers!

Hi everyone. Hope you're all doing well.

I actually had a nice day today, thanks to the lockdown, believe it or not!

I had to take my car for a service which would take about two hours. Due to Coronavirus safety rules, there was nowhere available for me to wait. The nearby McDonalds was open for takeaway only and the garage was a couple of miles out of town.
So how is any of that good? I hear you ask. Well, although cold, -1c, the sun was up and the sky clear and blue. I took a stroll along the nearby canal towpath. I took some beautiful pictures and even found a memorial to the crew of a WW2 Wellington bomber which had crashed nearby due to a wing failure on a training flight in 1943.

On the way back, the sky darkened and it began to snow. Damn! I was in heaven! The water of the canal was frozen and snow covered. The flurry didn't last long but was enough to put the icing on my cake.
So you see, folks. When the world is in darkness, you can never tell when a moment of light will brighten you life.

I hope you all have a moment in your lives which brings you the same joy and peace that I have felt today.

Salutations to all!

In my yard, we got 12cm of snow yesterday. The snowfall stopped last night, bringing our three day total to 58cm. After the snow ended, the temperature plummeted to -22℃ windchill.
Liz is snoring away across the room in the bed. She did not go to work today because she is not feeling good. I rubbed her back for a few moments and said to her, "you feel great to me."
I was quickly removed from the bed, and I am seated at my computer in the dark, being very quiet.
I could use a hot cup of tea, Earl Green, if you have it, and a biscuit. I will bring some honey on toast and a batch of ambrosia (oranges, pineapple, shredded coconut, maraschino cherries, and miniature marshmellows-optional).

What I wouldn't give to be snuggled up with Jane right now. It's pretty much all I can think about today. I...I guess I need her more than usual, if that's even possible.

ROLAND! having you back among us is a major goodness. Looking forward to reading your work, once again.


Your inattention, please:

Here is what bodes well to become a one-time-only, Inspirations Word-of-the-Day.

retromingent

First stumbled upon this word while reading a Charlie Sykes article that described Sean Hannaty of FoxNews as a, "retromingent propagandist"

The correct, non-disparaging definition of 'retromingent' is a creature that urinates backwards. Examples include: camels, hippos, and male cats.

Just another fine, free, unasked for service of the Inspirations Department of Unrequested Absurbities.

Later, Inspirators.

Sometimes I can't believe that Jane was able to sweep me off my feet with something as simple as a wink - especially when it feels like I've been floating ever since.

Hello to all my Story Space friends. I have been gone for too long.

My current condition is not too bad, and I am still breathing and smiling. That is great considering I am three years past the average lifespan the doctors initially gave me,

I have been trying methods to be able to write and make sense. If what I write does not always seem right, please let me know my mistakes to remedy that in the future.

I have been reading your writing for most of the time I was 'gone.' Now I hope to mingle again, and I may submit some pieces if they come out good enough.

I hope to be here with you for a little longer, which makes me very happy.
