Energetic and moving Maritime Fusion concert tonight with Symphony Nova Scotia, Jah’Mila’s Reggae Roots. Powerful voice, powerful lyrics, great show!

(I think there are still tickets available for tomorrow night, #HaliSky…😘 )

Final hymn at St. George’s Anglican this morning was one of my favourites, both due to the melody (Orlando Gibbons!) and because it now always reminds me of the time @drericlevi.bsky.social came to visit St. George’s, during his year in Halifax, and tweeted about it. 😊 #music #choir

I took the 80 bus to Bayers Road Shopping Centre in the mid-80s, browsed the stores with friends, occasionally bought a cute notebook with a horse, unicorn or Hello Kitty on it, or an Orange Julius. Once, bought this lovely little cloisonné ring that I still own. #nostalgia

Had a delightful time at my first Critical Mass ride with @criticalmasshfx.bsky.social! 🚲 Lovely to get together with both old friends and some #BikeHfx folks I’ve previously only encountered online. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening. 😊

Stopped in at @hfxpublib.bsky.social to get my latest hold, before biking home and tying up the climbing rose that was starting to engulf the tiny side lawn…now to sit in the garden and read my book! 😊 📖

We’ve had a lovely sunny afternoon wandering downtown and the Public Gardens. Rounding it off with ice cream from the Dairy Bar. 😊🍦 I decided to try the turmeric ginger…it’s pretty good!

Biked to Spring Garden to go to the grand opening of #Fluevog #Halifax with my friend, colleague and fellow Fluevog enthusiast, OperatingInHeels (formerly on Twitter.) There is quite the line-up!

Meanwhile, by the Museum of Natural History…the crosswalk light button is quite effectively blocked by this sign! 🙃

Always lovely to run into a friend when out. 🥰 Extra lovely to serendipitously cross paths while biking/scooting, stopping to say hi, and realizing we’re wearing matching dresses! 😄 🚲 🛴

Went to a lovely and varied afternoon concert with @tradandearlymusic.bsky.social - including our incoming PGY-1 #neurosurgery resident! 😊 🎶 🎻 #HaliSky

It’s wax. It melts and gets darkened by soot from the flame. Sometimes the wax doesn’t get as dark, but it’s easier to see when it is.

Things I was thankful for this morning:
- tea (in a very large mug)
- the pair of cardinals that have returned to our backyard
- the incredibly gorgeous collection of orchids in our kitchen 😍 (care & maintenance thanks entirely to @andrewctenor.bsky.social!)
