Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Family Literacy Day (January 2018)

Happy Family Literacy Day! Here’s some pics from a Family Literacy Day event we had at the library a few years back…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A Couple of Muggers (Feb 2013)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Get the Shot! (December 2009)

At a Christmas party one of Shea’s nursing colleagues hosted in 2009, one feature was pre-made alcohol shots in syringes. Little did we know how much “get the shot” would change in meaning a decade later!  ?

RIP America’s Dad (1956-2022)

RIP Bob Saget.

Saturday Snap – Why Does Our Fence Lean Inward?

When we bought our house a couple years ago, we noticed a slight inward lean to the fence. I didn’t think anything of it but after a couple winters, I realise it’s probably because *all the snow* from the green space behind our house (note the grass showing in patches further out!) likes to blow […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – MuchMusic in the 1980’s/1990’s

  Saw an article that influential music and pop culture Canadian station, MuchMusic (later rebranded as “Much”) is moving on to TikTok and YouTube.

First Lines From My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2021

January – “I recently heard about this site that lets you write letters to yourself at some point in the future.” February – “Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we […]

Music Monday – “I wasn’t meant to be then it ain’t meant to be now/I love this home but now I hate this house/Its been a hell of a year”

I posted this exact song a year ago this week – hard to believe the same sentiment applies a year later and it’s worth a repeat post of the same song. Here’s hoping I’m not starting a new blog tradition and having to post it again at the end of 2022! 🙁 “Hell of a […]

Friday Fun Link – Shit Fireplace 2021

In keeping with how shitty this year has been, the Shit Fireplace folks have truly outdone themselves with the latest edition of this important Christmas tradition. So nice to have this streaming on the TV on Christmas Eve bringing joy and warmth to all… 😉 (And bonus, the co-creators of these videos have both worked […]

An Atheist Takes In A “Blue Christmas” Ceremony

It’s been a tough end to the year. There are some fairly major changes happening at work that will affect myself and numerous other supervisors in the new year.  One of those supervisors, a friend and mentor, died unexpectedly at the start of December – quite young but also getting very close to retirement, having […]
