@dunks Thought I might see you at the Lynn Valley event today! Alas. I'll still come to North Shore events; maybe one time we'll be at the same event 😄
A woman (the District of North Vancouver Head Librarian, Caroline van Dyk) speaks into a microphone in a large room with large windows. There are a few table cloth covered tables and a few chairs visible.

@IanAMartin I'd ask if you were with Rogers -- which was out for me earlier this morning -- but I have a working connection now, so I doubt that.

It's amazing how much out lives rely on this connection now.

Hope you're enduring.

Here's a cat.
A long-hair tortoiseshell cat sitting on a black blanket. Except the cat is sitting like she's a person in a chair, with her back legs stretched out towards the camera, her tail straight towards the camera, and her front paws crossed between her back legs and her back straight up and down. She's looking straight at the camera. No, I don't know why she's like this.

This afternoon, it's The Play That Goes Wrong (put on by Black Box Theatre) at the somewhat misleadingly named Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island.

Dog days of summer. #vancouver #spanishbanks #beach #sunset
The sky is red and gold as the sun sets behind some trees. The waters of English Bay, the sand of Spanish Banks beach, and the mountains of Salish Sea islands complete the landscape.

Tonight, it's the world's highest-grossing Broadway show, The Lion King.

My enthusiasm is contained. #theatreyvr #broadwayacrosscanada #bacvancouver #musicaltheatre

Our rooftop garden plot is doing so well this year. We've not had success with carrots in the past 4 years; they've always been short, thin, and malformed.

However, @gwenfloyd just pulled these two tonight. Yowza! #urbangardening #vancouverlife
A woman standing inside an apartment side-eyes two large carrots (with greens still attached) that she's holding. The woman is wearing a black Pusheen t-shirt that says "Whatever".

#3dprinting is a very serious hobby.
A photo of a toilet paper roll sitting on the back of a toilet tank, with a Shaun the Sheep face and sheep legs. The toilet roll resembles a sheep's body. Somewhat.

Bounty from urban gardens! The right half is from our rooftop community garden, including the biggest beet I've ever seen, some cukes, carrots, and beans. The left half is our CSA share this week from Sole Foods Urban Farms: shallots, leeks, potatoes, and more cukes. #urbanfarming #vancouver
A shot of a basket full of all those vegetables, looking down from above.

Our first CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) allotment from Sole Food Street Farms! Some leeks, beets, garlic, cukes, cukes, dill, and broccolini. They're literally a block or two away. #urbanfarming #solefoodstreetfarms

Youngest child has decided that Halloween this year will be Spidey Noir, and is getting a jump on his costume. Here's the mask base after 24hrs #3dprinting. Only 1 more hours to go.

Canada Day in Vancouver starts with the False Creek Ferries performing their "ferry ballet". Here's the fleet heading down to Science World to begin. #littleblueferry #canadaday #vancouver

Latest 3D printing project: bookmarks! #3dprinting
Seven 3d printed bookmarks. They're all basic black with colour over top. One is a black & white kitten, three are Japan inspired scenes (also black and white) and three are black/white/gold with a sun and stars motif.

Ticked off at this notice shoved through our door at 20h30 tonight. What does it mean for residents? What effect will the shutdown have on residents? What should residents do or not do?

This memo is full of technical jargon and details that mean nothing to 95% of people. USE PLAIN LANGUAGE.
Notice advising of a "water riser shutdown" and later a "riser water and drainage shutdown" due to the need to replace a drainage pipe and "DHW" pipe

Here it is off the plate. Such a good print! However, the supports are proving a challenge to remove. #3dprinting
A 3d print of a full-size skull in a person's hand. There are "tree" supports holding on to overhanging bits of the model that need to be removed still.

That feeling when your 16 yr old is printing off a 3d model generated from an actual scan. Of a skull. With red mood lighting. 👀 #3dprinting

My 16 yr old is having an election results watch party tonight, which includes a contest to guess the results. We printed up a Golden Beaver award on the 3D printer as a trophy. (Design from Messy_Panda on MakerWorld) #elxn45 #cdnpoli #3dprinting
A photo of an ornate decorative beaver that's been 3D printed and then gilded with Rub 'n Buff to give it a golden finish. The beaver is 12cm tall and is sitting on a paper towel on a table.
