Got my annual #flu & #covid shot yesterday. I have #hyperalgesia (hypersensitivity to #pain), but I remembered to numb the area with an ice pack beforehand & it helped a lot.

Arm is feeling bruised today, & I’m tired/headachy; so I’m resting up as much as possible.

#Montreal camera shop Photo Service to close after 89 years

“We were the pro store for #photography but we never managed to get out of that niche, though I tried with video, drones, binoculars, telescopes.”

(I remember shopping there when I took my photo courses back in the 80s)

When you get an earlier-than-usual snowfall and it’s chilly in the house, so you dig out your favourite sunshine sweater! Now you just need to find your fave fuzzy socks!

The recent heavy snow caused power outages throughout southern #Quebec. At one point, over 250,000 households were without power! We can only hope that that #HydroQuebec are working on it; as it’s kinda cold to be without electricity - since so many folks use that for heating!

~ Remembrance Day ~ Lest We Forget ~
In memoriam:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Shows a memorial wreath made of poppy flowers, with the text: “Remembrance day - Lest We Forget”

On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month — we will remember them…

On this day, I honour my Grandfather, my Father, and several uncles who served.

I thank my many friends who have served with the Canadian Armed Forces in many capacities, both here at home and overseas. (Con’t)

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is laying on the floor, suffering, as Green peers at him cautiously. Green: How's your headache? Can I help in any way? Blue: Not really. I just have to suffer through it. Having produced an antique-style velvet-cushioned fainting couch, apparently out of nowhere, Green places Blue upon it. Blue rests on his back, still exactly just as miserable as before. Green: Would you feel better suffering on a nice fainting couch? Blue: It's not worse. Closing his eyes, Green cuddles up to Blue, loosely wrapping around him. Green: What if I lay down too, draped dramatically over you, lamenting your grievous fate? Blue: You don't have to do all that. Green: But I want to.

In honour of the 103rd anniversary of the discovery of King #Tutankhamen ‘s tomb, this is another fave henna piece of a #Egyptian winged scarab.

This was a #henna body art piece that I did on my Sweetheart’s upper arm a few years back. (Con’t)

As the days become shorter and the weather continues to cool; it’s time to dish out some warming comfort food - this time it was a hearty Cream of Broccoli soup, served with toasted Ciabatta.

At one point we had 3 cats - one was completely dark grey fur, the second was orange ginger, the last was long-haired tiger stripes with black, dark & light grey & a hint of cinnamon brown. We were totally screwed no matter what we wore!

The clothes are covered in white fur. 4) Close-up of Witch terribly upset about her black clothing covered in white fur.
