Hey Halifax friends - there's a guy who just showed up to repair the retaining wall outside my house, the one that butts right up to the sidewalk. He claims the city sent him (their responsibility due to sidewalk) and that property owners are rarely told in advance. Have you heard of this?

No photo, but today marks an entire summer of biking to get groceries! I had a goal back in June to use my bike to go to either Superstore or Sobeys to get things every week, rather than using the car. Happy to say I was able to do it. #bikehfx

I can hear the Natal Day parade from my house, so hilarious. I hear lots of honking, the sounds of a marching band, and music, plus mixed into it the sounds of ship horns due to the fog, and occasionally, a blue jay screaming at me.

Ok I'm gonna ask: am I seriously the only person who finds the scanners on busses difficult to use? I fully understand how they are supposed to work, but I wave my phone in front and it takes a lot of tries for it to finally scan my ticket as valid. Sometimes drivers try to help, but ugh. #Halifax

Great idea for Maritimers hoping to save as food prices soar! "The platform goes beyond just showing where sales are, it gives recipes and provides the cheapest options to get the ingredients, shows maps, store hours, accessibility and locations of grocery stores, food banks and community fridges."

Ugh, yes. Why are people like this? But also, that saying was originally: the customer is always right in matters of taste. As in, you can wear whatever you like, because that's your choice. Not that customers can be assholes to CS workers because 'they are always right'.

Rode up to Indigo at the Big Dartmouth Mall to spend a coupon and get a little book haul. This bike parking is actually quite good! #bikehfx
A bright purple bike with black panniers attached. It is parked at a large wave shaped bike rack. You can see a giant parking lot in the background. A pale skinned hand is holding three books. You can see the top is To Snap A Crystal Stem by Sarah A Parker. The cover is bright blue. The other two books you can’t see the title but they are Faebound by Sara El Arifi and 30 in 30 Plant Based Meals by Sophie Macfie. In the background is a bright purple bike with black panniers.
