Was nice to see this pop up in one of my social media feeds today – one of my favourite classmates in library school (and a real life rock star librarian!) doing a digital program (and I’ll likely do a longer post at some point about the library’s role and response in the COVID era […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Crowded Concourse Before COVID (October 2016)
So weird to scroll through old pictures and see crowds of people in any of them. This was at the new Mosaic Stadium soon after it opened when they hosted a Rams game as a “test” event…
Saturday Snap – Scenes From Plague Week
With apologies to Daniel Dafoe, some scenes from the past few days… Busy disinfecting everything in the house… I *love* my library’s “In the News” display. It’s been a huge hit with how timely and responsive it is and our COVID-themed display was no exception (yes, I know some of those “boost your immunity” books […]
Friday Fun Link – Pandemic Grocery List
I’ve heard stories about the chaos but I freaked myself out a bit when I hit a grocery store on the way home as it truly looked like the zombie apocalypse had already begun… The obligatory shot of the depleted toilet paper aisle… Luckily, I’d forgotten that my neighbourhood store had been planning a renovation […]
Music Monday – “Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa/Ma ma se, ma ma sa/Ma ma coo sa”
Back from a week in Mexico and will likely do some resort-themed posts over the next few days starting with this one… And my big thought of the day is – I really have no idea why most Cancun resorts have a Michael Jackson impersonator as one of their nightly shows when you never see […]
Music Monday – “I can almost smell the perfumed nights/And see the starry sky/I wish you comin’ with me baby/’Cause right before my eye”
Isn’t the Internet amazing? I heard this song on my random “Flow” playlist the other day. It’s a song from 1977 by an obscure New Zealand band that I’d never heard before but it felt fitting even though we’re going to Mexico instead of Cuba, leaving in February instead of April, but hoping for sun […]
Normally I’d Save A Post Like This For Music Monday…
…but this feels unique enough to deserve a stand-alone post:
Music Monday – “Every whisper/Of every waking hour I’m/Choosing my confessions”
Recommended by a patron at my branch… “Losing My Religion” – Lacuna Coil
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Blog Analytics for 2019
As so many sites/apps do at this time of year, one of my blog plug-ins also provided a “Year in Review” report for my blog traffic. Now, I should back up and repeat my standard line that I tend to think of this blog as my “acreage in the country” – far away from the […]
2019 End of Year Memes: New House, New Address, New Mortgage, Same Feeling of Working for the Bank Instead of the Library!
1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Went to a minor league baseball game in Weyburn during the summer and a big production outdoor NHL game in Regina in the fall. Enjoyed both equally! 2. Did anyone close to you give birth? Probably quite a few on Facebook but none […]
