Aged hippie on the left coast of Canada. Garden, quilt, cook, read, write, volunteer.
8pm as I write. So the clock says. Feels like midnight. Why does one lousy hour make such a difference? This is the easy one - an extra hour to sleep in - what's not to like? Voting if anybody cares to get rid of DST so we don't have to do this every six months.

Took an inordinate amount of time to find this clip. Best interpretation of this song IMO. I needed it tonight. Hope it brings some comfort to others too.

Fettuccini tonite with fresh tomato sauce (ripest of the backlog used!) + buns in the air fryer. Still 30ish degrees today but managed to make an indoor meal. Win.

Fruit fly season! Head's up wine drinkers. Just tossed a full glass with four of the little rotters in it. Somebody needs to invent a window/door screen with a wee bit smaller mesh. They flew right past my trap of apple cider & dish soap. Google says they like that best. Wrong. They prefer wine.

Talking to myself: fresh out of the shower. How many actually rinse and repeat with the shampoo? Always seemed like a marketing gimmick. Hair seems fluffy enough after one application. Any feedback?

Notice on my phone: I can accept the AI update now or wait until it's automatically added. Will summarize my emails for me. Like how do you summarize "See ya then" "Invoice attached" or "WTF?" which is most of them.

Cardinal clematis putting on a show. The double white is a bit unclear on the trellis concept. Still pretty but makes me cringe to the right when looking at it. Maybe a bit OCD?

Pink clematis putting on quite a show this year. She was supposed to grow over the utility infrastructure but didn't get the memo. I've forgiven her.
