Very happy to see the buzzing activity downtown Ottawa. Good for the city and the residents. A cautious skate on the Rideau and a short run to enjoy the sights!

Will be a very cold Parkrun morning for volunteering. It was a real struggle to get a full roster, but we are a go!

Hmmm. I had not expected to have my last couple of days of work be filled with managing staff (and my) anxieties over bed bugs and cockroaches in the office.
