Five Lists of Five Things I’m Thinking About As Scott Moe Prepares To Release His Five Phase Plan for Reopening Saskatchewan

Premier Scott Moe had a press conference tonight to announce that…he will be having a press conference tomorrow night to talk about how his government has a five point plan for reopening the province now that we’ve flattened the curve…maybe. There’s no doubt that Saskatchewan has done very well during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to […]

Fun With Opposites – Linda from London Public Library

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…

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 […]
