And my parents down from Ottawa to do Christmas early. Just our thing to avoid weather and time crunches. Christmas is about family time not calendar date. Rotisserie turkey breast with the fixings and SanRemo Chocolate Baileys Cake #ChristmasDinner #Family #BBQ365

Wow, what a pair of days. Oasis followed by The Greatest Gathering. I’m exhausted and we still have 5 days in London before we fly home Friday! I had so much fun I took and am posting selfies! Will never see a gathering of railway equipment like it again #GreatestGathering #Rail200

There are no curse words in elvish entish or the tongues of men for the past 3 hours of our life after BA cancelled our flight tomorrow 30 minutes before check in opened. We’re now losing six hours of our Friday in London, but we’re still getting there Friday, which wasn’t their first solution

It's actually less than this at this point, but by this time tomorrow morning I'll be in relax mode. I'm done work at 4pm today to start my summer vacation... but the massive mountain of stuff in my inbox & meetings in my calendar demanding attention before then... #Vacation

Super glad BBQ’s exist, so nice to not make the house hotter than it is in another heat wave to make Chicken Skewers, Naan and Potato’s for dinner #BBQ #BBQ365 #SummerSundayBBQ

That feeling when you get a roll of film processed to get it out of your camera for an upcoming trip, but you didn’t remember everything on it until you get the scans back and excitedly look to see where you shot film over the past 12 months #Film #Kodak #Pentax #Photography

In Ottawa for the long weekend. Finally a chance to ride the OC Transpo O-Train. Great day out and nice to see improved transit for Ottawa, other than the power tripping employee who tried to tell me you can’t take pictures on the train. #TrainsAreCool #Railfanning #CanadaDay

Bike lanes let me do things like ride 22km relatively safely (only 3 cars tried to hit me) to Meeplemart to get paint, then to Sweet Pete’s to drop off for service & then walk to Bakerbots Bakery for a dangerously good cinnamon roll as a treat #Cycling #BikeLanes #BakeryTreat
