Last spot for today's #bloomsdayhalifax tour. I had moved lovely Zoe from the North End to Historic Properties, which would have been 1904 Halifax's version of Nighttown. But alas it is under construction

I have a lot to say about last weekend's #bloomsdayhalifax and I've figured it'll likely be best done as 18 shorter blog posts, one for "episode". Here's the first:

Bloom has a cheese sandwich and some wine for lunch - so Durty Nelly's has a thematically appropriate special all long weekend! #bloomsdayhalifax
I'm set up here for a while in case anyone needs tech support or just wants to nerd out

I did photo mashups for all 18 locations of #bloomsdayhalifax. This one may be my favourite, reflecting the bellicose vibe of the chapter and the photos from the Police Gazette

The next Bloomsday Halifax episode: Nausicaa at Salter. This was a challenge, since I needed to recreate a rather seedy interaction in a less seedy manner and in a public place. I ended up going with blue dollar-store bows in awkward locations #bloomsdayhalifax

Took a Bird scooter down to the south end to start #bloomsdayhalifax. South Park bikeway was great. Alas Point Pleasant is out of Bird's coverage area so I have to walk the final stretch. Nice morning for it though

Doing the #bloomsdayhalifax newspaper episode "Aeolus" on the site where the old Chronicle Herakd building used to be. I really really wanted to get these screens to show headlines like in the book but could get a response from the people in charge oh well. #halifax

Standing in for Clifton Lodge school in episode 2 of Ulysses, the lovely Point Pleasant Lodge often looks AI-generated, with its slightly oversized gothic features and all the flowers around it. But trust me it's real! #bloomsday #bloomsdayhalifax

Last thing for #bloomsdayhalifax #bloomsday: I cut up my pocket potato and cooked it into an omelette for breakfast - with Gorgonzola of course. It fell apart a bit on the flip but it was still pretty tasty!
