Frank Turner announced that next year’s Lost Evenings festival in London may be his last concert for the foreseeable future. I’m not sure whether Jeff and I will be able to get tickets (both cost and may sell out immediately) but either way he’s one of the best live acts ever.

Cooked chopped pear and fresh ginger with my rolled oats today (as recommended by Jeff, who doesn’t even like oatmeal) and then added some more spices, plain yogurt and maple syrup at the end. It was heckin delish.

Throwback to 2020 when we could take photos wherever we wanted in Borden Park during the most beautiful time of year because the fucking pumpkins after dark event hadn’t started in Edmonton yet.

Married to @woodward.ca for 14 years now. We’re both feeling pretty crappy today but I love him every day (and bonus on days when we do fun photo shoots, he makes extra delish meals or plays with Dolly so hard she does zoomies).

Jeff bought me beautiful flowers at Zocalo while I was getting hurty Botox for migraine needles and a filling at the dentist, so he’s definitely not a punk today.

After seeing photos from my actual 30 year high school reunion on Saturday night in Surrey, I’m confident I made the right choice with planning our Romy and Michelle backyard movie instead in Edmonton. My only ragret is that I couldn’t find a more Romy and Michelle-esque dress.

It’s the most beautiful day, and 10 degrees warmer outside than in the library so lunchtime walk was essential.

Kaleido festival is on this weekend, come say hi to some library people if you wanna (my colleagues are there today and I’ll be there tomorrow). Or just admire a kaleidoscope dress, if you have a legit reason for not attending like maybe you live in a different city or country.

The other day we found this note in our mailbox. I know that not everyone in the neighbourhood likes our house (or gets that it was painted to match the Vaulted Willow at Borden Park) but we did it for the lovers, not the haters. 💕

Living in a neighborhood where you can listen to a coyote symphony in the ravine and Foo Fighters concert at Commonwealth stadium at the same time while on a dog walk is pretty cool.

I’m not sure whether the dog or the humans who walk with her are grumpier about the fence blocking off much of their favourite park during the most beautiful season of the year for a month and a half during the fucking pumpkins after dark festival.

My 30 year high school reunion is next weekend (in Surrey, BC, but my high school is in North Delta) and I’m not going but I did have some of my favourite Edmontonians over for Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion backyard movie night, which is more my kind of party anyway.
