Who says Canada is a cold country? A photo from my walk today around Victoria's inner harbour. And another from later this evening. Greetings from beautifully sunny, spring-is-sprung Victoria. 🙂

Greetings from Howe Sound
I am on holidays right now and am taking a little breather to Vancouver Island. We left this morning via ferry from West Vancouver and are heading to Nanaimo. Here's a photo of our crossing through Howe Sound. We are taking a few days to relax. 🙂
Random Acts of Kindness Award
Ursula from An Upturned Soul has gifted me with the Random Acts of Kindness Award! Thank you, Ursula! It was very surprising and very welcome. 🙂 Ursula is a truly gifted writer and thinker, and I've been very lucky to know her since very early in my blogging life - about six years now. She…
An Airplane Story
As Monty Python used to say ... And now for something completely different. Once upon a time, there was a pilot who had to fly an airplane very far, far north. The pilot had done lots of flying before, but not very far, far north. The pilot was looking forward to this trip. On the…
Are You a Dreamer?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urMjGAimtRc I went through a dreamer phase when I was a child. I used to think about all kinds of heroic things, with of course, myself in the role of hero. Much of the time, I was basing my heroic roles on tv shows or movies I had seen or books I had read. I…
Why Do You Blog?
The idea for this post came from https://anupturnedsoul.wordpress.com who asked this question after being prompted by a blog that she follows: https://aguycalledbloke.blog. It's a good question. Why DO I blog? Well, for the most part, it started out with wanting to hang a warning sign on the Narcissistic Personality Disordered people among us who go…
My Valentine
My M is my Valentine. And no, he's not James Bond's boss. (Thanks Ralph. 🙂 You can visit Ralph and his funny comments at https://bluefishway.com/ ) Almost eight years ago, I was introduced to a tall, loquacious, humorous, principled man. At first sight, we each were sure we would get on. We did. A lot.…
The Big Chilly
Right now I am living deep inside a real big chilly. It's something like -42 C or whatever. When it's that cold, does it matter any more? I don't even check. It's -40, yada yada. Up until recently, it's been fairly easy to live with. But ... there's always something. First, my truck wouldn't start.…
Cold Weather
This is what -36°C looks like ... ... at the southern end of Great Slave Lake in Northwest Territories. In Fahrenheit, that's -33. Very sharp and sunny, but my, is it chilly! Somehow, the air looks cold. I usually walk to work, but today I needed to take my vehicle; it was slow to start…
Flying Anyone?
I found this airplane stuck to a pole ... It's one of the types I learned to fly, back when I was in my salad days. It made me a bit sad to see it there, poised as if in flight but stuck, permanently roosted and rooted to the ground, a facsimile of its former…
