First batch of dried hot peppers is ready. More to come, a half-dozen Aleppo peppers are still reddening. #gardening

We also have green peppers and jalapeños. These a smoother than the former and larger than the latter.

Can someone help me to identify what type of #peppers these are? #gardening

The contrast between the two stories at the top of the BBC News front page is jarring. #news #nobel #uspol

Right: Firing squad execution to be livestreamed, Pentagon says

This mask is called Zugubal Koey Mawal, which translates to large masks of the spiritual ancestors' in the Zenadh-Kes (Torres Strait) language. This contemporary mask is based on traditional examples which had important connections with spirit, the moon and totems - all of which related to seasons and voyaging.

14 hours of jetlag is bad enough, but coupled with airplane-flu it’s even worse. Note the complete absence of deep sleep during the night.

The aspect of jetlag that really annoys me isn’t the weird sleep schedule, it’s waking up at 1am because I’m starving.

About to initiate the slow process that will return us home in a little more than 48 hrs.

So many gorgeous Australian hiking trails!

As we are facing the end of our month-long trip to #Australia, one annoying constant was how utterly crappy our wifi connections have been. In every hotel rooms or VRBOs (except the Bondi Junction Meriton in Sydney, bless them!) we’d connect to wifi, get slow ~3 Mbps downloads and the wifi […]

After a month in Australia I have stopped counting the number of time that Australians told us that they (1) truly love Canadians and (2) that they are really worried about us.

Spending a month in #Australia might have resulted in a TimTam addiction.

Mud flats might not be conductive to human beach activities but birds love them and they make for great #photography. #Cairns #Australia

Nothing like miscalculating your wake-up time the morning of a flight. Coffee, breakfast & 🦷 brushing had to wait until we were past security. We’ll shower this afternoon at our hotel in Cairns. 💩? Not happening.

Funny story from my first day in #Australia. During our first walk around town, I kept turning in the wrong direction. I just realized why. In the Southern hemisphere, the sun crosses the sky to the North. Unconsciously, I’m using sunlight to tell me which way is South. Here it’s the other way […]

Travel time between our house and our hotel in #Sydney, 31 hours 13 minutes. To make jetlag our bitch, we then embarked on a 13 km walk to the beaches and back.

We left our home 11hrs ago and will soon land in Vancouver. But have still many many hours to go.

Two weeks to go. How long before a big trip do you add the destinations to your weather app?

Added Sydney and Cairns, Australia to my weather reports.

Spent the last week getting our lake ready for the #triathlon weekend. 70 floating markers on five courses. We're expecting 2500 athletes. Thanks Zod, no weather catastrophe this year. I’m already exhausted. Tomorrow will be a 12-hours day. Sunday? Probably 10 hours. 2-3 hours on Monday to […]

Think of all of the American football fans in that stadium who each paid hundreds and probably thousands of $$$… …for this. #fifa #fifaworldcup #worldcup

About to spend most of today in a small aluminum boat, under the hot sun, throwing about 60 cinder blocks overboard at precise GPS locations. #triathlon #volunteering
