And Zippy got a Miss Lola Plushie approved upgrade to having a cupholder. It folds back when not in use. I got tired of always asking the very patient CSRs at various restaurants and cafés to carry my stuff to a table for me. (Desc below)

The Vancouver Island bunnies are originally from a meat farm that went bankrupt in the 70s and the owner just .. let the bunnies go. They've made it pretty far north on the island with little fear of humans. I was very close to them and they kept eating clover. #VancouverIsland #Bunny #Rabbit

Port Theatre in Nanaimo is a bit more ambiguous, but the text still makes it fairly clear when the wheelchair seating.

An image of the seating arrangement at Nanaimo's "Port Theatre" showing the location of stage, the pit, side stages, main floor and balcony. All seats are grey as its a sample map. There are four seats on each side of the main floor that are the last row and they say behind them "Wheelchair seating"

This is the map for the local @galaxycinema.bsky.social and Hullo ferries. As you can see, each seat gets a wheelchair symbol to show 'Wheelchair can go here'

A screenshot from the Nanaimo Galaxy Cinemas seating chart for Red One. It shows a whole bunch of blue coloured seats, a couple grey seats, and wheelchair seating is indicated by a wheelchair symbol over each seat.

Seating map of Nanaimo's Hullo passanger ferry. Seats are shown in dark green and light green. (I'm not sure which says sold and which says available.) There's also locations of bathrooms. The disabled seats and companion seats are marked in blue. Wheelchair seats show a wheelchair on them.

There are four wheelchair symbols. What THEY mean is that the whole row is wheelchair accessible. However, this ISN'T the standard I'm used to.

I wish I knew how to explain this better.

Facebook friends said to check my email for presales. (Squee!) I went to the @realticketmaster.bsky.social site and got this map of @rogersarena.bsky.social To me, this looked like there were a grand total of four wheelchair seats, and they were sold out. I may have had a very bad reaction.

Both Dad and his Dad served in the RAF. I wanted to do a pic of them talking as adults in uniform. It's taken a few years. I learned a lot doing this (mostly I can't draw shoes) and did lots of new techniques. VERY happy with how it (eventually) turned out. #Painting #Watercolour #RAF #Art

A watercolour painting in a black frame hanging on a beige wall. There are the tops of other pictures below it. The painting is of two men sitting on a grey halfwall, talking. There is a indistinct park in the background with black birds flying in the sky behind them.
