I love Vancouver, here we are, 4 days from the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies, and my daffodils are in bloom. And this isn’t really considered early either. The daffodils through the causeway are still probably a week or two away, but these little ones are always early risers. There is also an iris open and a few primrose blooms have…

I’m not sure why, but I only like to eat eggs on the weekends, poached, on an english muffin. Love eggs benny! But any other day is generally NOT an egg day. And free range eggs, none of those pale things that have no flavour. I like real eggs, with a nice deep orange yolk…that has flavour. Those pasty things…

The Olympics are almost here and the city of Vancouver is holding its breath, or it seems that way anyway. Security and city engineers have thrown the fear of gridlock into everyone and it seems to be working. Vancouver has no major highways running through its core and that is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because…

Poor little Loki. His life consists of a pretty regular routine of sleep, love, eat. And when I say routine, I really do mean a set pattern. This is the only cat I’ve ever encountered that can tell time. He absolutely knows when it is 6 am and 6 pm because those are the two times each day that he…

I feel like I’ve been drowning lately. It’s been grey and damp forever, at least it feels that way. The sun made a brief appearance this morning for a few hours and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather to get out for a scoot and take a few photos. Down low the sun actually provided some warmth,…

34/365 – I have nothing witty or intelligent to say today… so I will simply acknowledge that I need to get off my butt, exercise more, and eat more fruit. I always seem to fall off the fruit wagon over the winter… need to make a conscious effort to do better in that department.

33/365 – I admit it, I have a thing for pencils. 3H pencils, not HB, hate those soft ones, they wear down too fast. And they need to be sharp, which is why they are always point up, ready to stab. But I am not a collector of masses of stuff, I have neither the room nor the inclination. My father…

The emptiness of the early morning airport terminal. I was waiting for Kirk to arrive home from somewhere and the airport seemed so empty. Maybe because it was. This one person was watching something on a television screen, but it almost felt like they were waiting and hoping that their luggage would materialize after everyone else had left…. The reality…

I love this, not even so much for what it says as for what it doesn’t say. When someone doesn’t share your values or ideals, it is assumed that “Something must be wrong with them” and that “We must look for a cure so we can change them and make them see things our way” Wouldn’t the world be a…

I could use a couple of these after today. I am usually so organized. I set up a new spreadsheet at the start of every year. On it I track my hours billed, expenses, travel costs etc. I carefully track each receipt by date, cost code, item purchased, GST paid etc. It makes tax time a snap, well, as much…
