I think it's Halifax's 'traditional favourite', but it's people who haven't eaten there (or many other downtown places) in a decade.
Dingdongs gonna dingdongs.
I get so mad at dingdongs who want more cars on the road (force back to the office, anti bus lanes, less active transport options). That helps no one!
And then quick texts with the buddy's mom.
Same, email from teacher.
We've been there, and it can be a rough start. Hopefully it's a quick rebound.
Based on all the honking I heard when i was out at lunch, protesters are getting lots of support.
Finally found out that the kid got the teacher he was hoping for AND his best school bud in in the same class. I am relieved.
❤️
I was all over the board, genre-wise, which is how I like it. I’m not a big sour guy, but on a hot day few things hit better than the silver tart
What I read on my summer vacation (plus also few comics).
Thanks!
Oh interesting, how do you find out supplier? Also agree, my kid has several things this round he’s interested in trying 🤞
Both of my parents have asked for specific homemade Christmas gifts, which means I get to start worrying about it now. What a treat.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a starfish?
My reading buddy is distracting.
I am out of town, so when you go to @kingsbookstore.bsky.social you have to buy yourselves one extra book to make up for it.
Yup. Absurd.
Flamingos get a ‘pass’ for being so g.d. Ridiculous. I was forced to see ostriches, emus & rheas, so the flamingos were very chill
It’s a lot.
They are the most absurd creatures.
I saw a flamingo sit down, and you should also see it.
Yum!
Oh my goodness. Where?!
Cuuuuuuties
Found a little friend on my fence post 🥰
I’ve got three days of work and then I’m on vacation for three weeks.
Have a good visit!
The Federal sites (like the Citadel and George's Island) are free for the summer. Always great to wander the waterfront and get snacks/food from the local vendors. Great farmers market in the brewery on the weekend. Ferry over to Dartmouth always nice.
Oh no forgot my work phone at home no one can call me ohhh nooooo.
Our chillers failed during a recent heatwave and things went in the opposite direction 👀
The officer graphic in that column does not help.
We already had some feelings about Andy.
Wise indeed! I’m hoping for a balance of rest & a few things on the to-do list
I consider lounging on the couch a treat bc it is usually occupied by someone else.
I have the house to myself for most of the week, and am so overwhelmed with choices on how to spend my time. Kicking off with a classic: bowl of ice cream (two kinds!) and my book on the couch.
Today's challenge: inhale delicious curry before my meeting WITHOUT slopping any of it down my white shirt.
It’s for The Economy.
Finally reunited with my proper work laptop! I missed you, shortcuts. I missed you, chrome. I missed you, software-no-longer-supported-but-that-I-need-to-do-my-job. Don’t leave me again.
They were very good!
Continuing to make excellent decisions.
So am I tbf
Yes I am, thank you for noticing.
🙏
🙏
Taking my hangover for a walk
So fun!
I panicked when the show was announced and sprang for vip tickets, but we ended up in the crowd! Great energy, great show!
Is all of #Halisky at decemberists, because I feel like I’ve spotted 75% of you
Now I want one
Does a bento box count?
Its a fun extra challenge.
I’m good for a few months, but I’ll need to start researching people who can cut curly hair (my experience is that many say they can, but cannot and I end up looking poodley or pyramidy.
Thankfully I got it cut last week, so it should hold me for a few months!
My hairdresser just announced they’re leaving the biz. I have the worst luck - I’ve had so many bad haircuts in this city. And every time I find someone I like, they end up moving away/leaving. Blargh.
😂
My eye twitch is back FOR SOME REASON.
New favourite box label. 📜
Noooooooo
It’s gotta be something
I only got one work email today and I am suspicious.
This much beige would melt anyone’s brain.
Cis people have always been the main consumers of gender affirming care, surgeries, treatment. They just don't see it as such because they feel entitled to it, they are barely even cognizant of their own genders.
The Margaret Perry material is a TREAT. Watch films with titles like 'Appleland', 'Nova Scotia Holiday 1948', 'Battling Bluefins' and 'Blessing on the Woods'. A treasure. 📜 #archives #film #history
And the whole book isn’t sad, but I hit one heartbreaking (but also lovely?) bit halfway through and was wrecked.
It’s the fourth book of the Thursday Murder Club series. I love it so much.
I read a sad chapter of my book over lunch, and it's completely taken the wind out of me.
No regrets
Multiple times now Andy has made it clear that the only reason he ran for mayor is because he thought the libs would lose. If he couldn’t figure out the mayors job before running (and after years of experience in government) what exactly makes him seem like a good candidate for strong mayor powers?
The whole family is zonked. Ordering pizza for self-care.
I love this series so much, but Stephen is breaking my heart. 💙📚
I’m into this concept
Number 1! Both the skirt and the lace top are LOVELY, but they are a lot together. Each paired with something simple will let them shine!
This is my assumption.
Why specifically evening?
Swim swim. R is keen.
Oh my!
We camp at Dollar Lake, so we’ll be hitting that up later this month!
I live here and it’s still constant.
We do have access to a car, so this is a possibility
I am reluctant about lakes, but if the kid can swim I could suck it up.
Oh that sounds promising! The kid definitely wants to swim
What’s your favourite close-to-Halifax beach for swimming?
Fair
I missed sun screening a strip along my hairline and now I have a stripe.
Killers opened their show with a few lines of Sloan’s Underwhelmed, and kept barrelling forward from there. What a show.
I have done something unprecedented: I remembered to refresh my bobbin BEFORE doing the Big Seam.
The Brown Hound does a decent beef dip
Very good bug.
she has been great!
Oh yeah, i think it will be a hit.
I am delighted by it
This is exactly what I am picturing.
Ha! It is good! I’d picked it out for a co worker’s retirement
He chose it in earnest and does not understand why we find it so funny, which is making it funnier. I’m doing a poor job at not making him self-conscious about it.
This is the card my 11yo picked out for his teacher and I find it very funny.
Hahaha I assumed a car was going to stop at a stop sign, how SILLY of me.
I'm surprised my hair left any for anyone else. I love the jolt of delight I get when an intersection has a bus priority light/lane.
It may also explain why you're covered in ants.
Oh….good?
