Saturday Snap – My Own Corona Virus

This was my view one week ago today. I admit that I was a bit nervous heading to the airport the next day as the Coronavirus seemed to blow up big (in news coverage if not actual cases) during out week in Mexico but our flight went ahead so, (un)fortunately, we weren’t stranded in Cancun! […]

Friday Fun Link – British vs. Canadian English

I still tell the story of the woman I traveled to England with for a University exchange in 1995 meeting a group of people in a pub and saying she hadn’t changed her pants in days. Turns out trousers are pants in England and pants are underwear! 🙂

Saturday Snap – Hecho En Mexico

Just over one week until we leave for Mexico.  I bought some cane sugar-infused goodness to mark the occasion…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – WS2412 (February 2019)

Music Monday – “It’s over/You don’t need to tell me/I hope you’re with someone who makes you feel/Safe in your sleep, being tonight/I won’t kill myself trying to stay in your life/I’ve got no distance left to run.”
