Exploring the Backrooms. 50 kilometres of dark hallway with endless dusty massage tables. Occasionally you’ll find a darkened, unplugged Pepsi machine. When plugged in, they only dispense expired almond water.

Grilling/fire roasting a dozen or so ears of Silver Rill peaches n’ cream corn.
We made elotes (Mexican street corn) with a few ears for dinner tonight, and shaved the rest off the cobs for freezing. That way we have access to good corn when it’s out of season 😋

So they’re painting the walkways at our building & I can’t get back in till 1ish.
Grabbed a Sneaky Weasel & also some BBQ chips from H Mart and am reading a China Miéville novel (Embassytown) on my phone along the Gorge while I wait.
The chips are good, but are more like Pringles than chips.

A little baked and doing a deep dive into the salinity of the Gorge Waterway.
The question: Does salinity decrease the further up the Gorge you go?
Answer: Yes. Craigflower & Colquitz creeks are a significant source of freshwater runoff leading to lower salinity conditions further up the estuary.

Grilling poolside!
It’s pretty crazy that this is where we actually live.
Residents have learned I own a projector & screen - apparently I’m setting it up poolside next weekend 🤣
Watching Jaws in the pool, floating on an inner tube?
Dinner was pork chops, roasted potatoes, & broccoli.

This is what happens when you promise your 5 year old niece that they can apply your zinc before going boogie boarding.
It, uh l, does not come off easily. Water resistant and all that.

Had my first serious ‘I could use a cigarette right about now’ moment in about several years.
No intention of acting on it, but yeah that’s a definite sign that there’s some stress.
On the other hand I went for my first paddleboard at the new place.

I worked at one of these almost 30 years ago. It was on Jacklin Rd in a much quieter Langford.
I worked with my friend Jenn, the boss Carol (her son was on the same dial up boards I used to frequent) and the assistant manager Rod. Rod Butts. Rod Butts the Assman.

I think the Feliway is working? 24 hours no pee incidents.

Anyone ever Feliway diffusers? Having some behavioural issues since the move.
I think just stress (Honestly, the open houses, showings, etc have been hard on these little dudes)
Anyways, trying to ‘cattify’ the place but figured anything extra was worth a try.

Sorry Bisky, you guys don’t get the updates.
Anyways, we moved. Here is the outdoor kitchen and pool at our new home.
They have communal kayaks, paddle boards, and a private dock on the Gorge.
Not out of the stress forest yet, maybe by a long shot, but this is a step forward.

A pretty standard assortment of food to eat at work.
Apple, banana, pineapple, cherry tomatoes, celery, carrot, cucumber, cherries, roast pork & old cheddar sandwich on seedy bread, coffee, and water.
Irritated because we have farm fresh strawberries but I forgot them today.
