Your periodic reminder that stairs are fine until they're not and you may not have a lot of notice on that. If you own a house with the only bathroom on the 2nd floor reno that house or move.

I know this isn't empirically true, but the fact that the light is fading by like 10 mins a day is really fucking me up.

I try to keep my SM consumption to myself but tonight I had to do a live reading of the announcement that Gus is going to have a bladder stone removed.

Okay so I love the Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens cookbook. Love. But the recipes that are *20lbs* of vegetables and .5 tsp of something are just...what. What?

I'm enjoying this phase of "learning weird shit about a relative" after they pass. Today's version is finding photos of a surgery Nan had in 35mm slide format in one of her purses. .... why.

Frost warning which means pick those green tomatoes and make the chow chow recipe in the Old Nova Scotia Recipes book. You know the one.

I saw one of these in St Margaret's Bay once. Sat and watched it for an hour. That's one chill gigantic fish.

I wouldn't mind if headline writers got a little electrical shock every time they type the word "slams". Just a little one.

I'll probably do a Nan mega thread at some point, but in the meantime my grandmother Betty passed away peacefully yesterday, at almost 95 years old. We're exhausted but we're okay. Here is probably my favourite older photo of her. I have her slide and her picks. I'll miss her terribly.
Photo from the 70s or many early 80s of a middle aged woman with curly hair in a white dress playing guitar with a metal thumb pick (I think that's what that's called?)

Been a hot minute since I've felt the full weight of imposter syndrome but tomorrow I'm starting a 5 day clinic with my newest horse (who I started myself) and a "Master instructor" who flew in from Germany today and LET ME TELL YOU I'm having regrets in advance.

One of Dolly's favourite people in the world is Heather who lives two doors down. Heather is in the early stages of dementia, and knows it, but she walks over and we always make time to hang out.

Today is Dolly's gotcha day! I had full intentions of making a big deal about it. But this morning Nan was unresponsive and she's unlikely to rally. And now I learn Dolly's namesake has passed. So goodness. Basically - goodness. Hug your people.

Okayyyy. If the position is that "messaging is precious" ie get the rights ads in the right markets on the right day and win a a few seats and that's the extent of the reaction then the US is well and truly and fucked and Canada has ZERO allies inside that bullshit house. Fuck. All. Of. You.

Extremely niche FYI but Bargain Harleys (one of the oddest stores ever) got a shipment of cheap chippets and they're blasting that on Facebook. I remember the Chocolate Chips Cost a Fortune discourse from last fall.

I think officially we don't have the ash borer down here yet, but the ashes are dying. I've had 3 convos about it this weekend with locals, all unprompted. So maybe something else is up but it's conspicuous.
