Cuisine, travel, nature, diy, sci-fi, fantasy, and theme parties. My garden is more square footage than my house, and that's bonkers.
Centre-left with friends on both sides, just don't be disrespectful. Life is too short.

We need a "Love Actually " moment.
"A friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger.
"And the President should be prepared for that"

(For all you non-Manitobans, it's a fundraising party, in this case for an engaged couple, held in a hall or community ctr and is either really fun or really lame. Depends on the DJ and food. Lol)

Today my kid referred to the Covid vaccine as the Funky Cold Moderna, and I swear there would have been much less vaccine hesitancy if we'd done that five years ago.

OK...I'm feeling slightly less irate after reading this perspective.
I mean people are upset about the sentence because no prison time. But these were non-violent crimes, and the sentencing is in keeping with the law.
Besides, what’s a more perfect consequence for idiots who protested a mythical “lockdown” than being sentenced to a very real one?
It’s perfect 😂

News from the south becomes more shockingly horrific by the day. Equally horrific is the thought that monies Cdns spend on US items and travel are, in fact, HELPING FUND THIS.
Did my dollar buy those zip ties?
Time to become even more vigilant 🍁

This Sunday, Manitoba:
A daunting task on a low energy day. This is the second mass picking. Not a lot of shelf space left in the cold room. Lol
Good thing I was gifted more large jars!
Still another smaller tom harvest to come. I left about 9 huge green peppers and a handful of habeneros on the vines

Public comms on vaccine availability in #Manitoba is definitely lacking this year, but appointments in various pharmacy online platforms are starting to pop up. Some out there for shoppers, too.
Despite no communication about this from public health, Sobeys Transcona has Covid/Flu appointments available as early as Oct. 6th. They’re actually expect the shipment this week and will add earlier appointments when they receive it.

The CFIA hasn’t fined a single grocer for selling US products as Canadian. #cdnpoli
So I built a toolkit: a library of 101 of ready-to-use letters you can send to your MP.
Copy one, add your name, hit send.
(I'll make a video about this in the morning. I gotta get sleep now.)

Driving along the north perimeter tonight , a work truck in front of us is pulling a small trailer with some hand tools and porta potty. The words "does that look like it's leaning?" were barely out of his mouth when the pp fell backwards. That was a Final Destination moment I didn't need. Lol.
