Which is something i tried to do, but I joined TikTok for the shanties. If there was a WordPress plugin that supported “disappearing” stories and was able to distribute them via RSS feed. And then there was a rss reader that was built to specifically show these in a modern way, I think that could […]
I miss summer
That’s all, I miss summer in Halifax, even in 2020 it was the best time of the year.
Today is a big day
Not just for the USA, but for the world. Having a sane executive in the whitehouse is important for a predictable world.
The start of baking day
Visiting mummies
We visited the NS Natural History museum yesterday especially for the mummies. They were a hit.
Weekend oatcakes
I really love warm oatcakes with old cheddar cheese. The perfect afternoon snack.
Lots of Birds
This weekend we got out for another wander around Frog Lake (or is it pond). Our friend the wood duck was there, along with a murder of crows. I started thinking about getting a new mirrorless body this summer, and I think I have made my pick, a Canon EOS R6. It is a huge […]
I don’t want to go back
Between the time of me pouring the last pound of beans into the coffee grinder and boiling the kettle, I ordered another batch of coffee on my phone. Not two hours later a bicycle courier shows up at the door with the order. This is amazing, and if you are in Halifax I highly recommend […]
There should never be a limit
What possible reason should there be a limit on the password! Maybe a computer science person that can tell me.
Supper last night
I wasn’t sure what we going to do with this shallow fried chicken strips, but we figured it out. If anyone has tips for making excellent breading I’m all ears. The seasoning was pretty good, but the breading was weak. I marinated them in butter milk for a wash before breading and frying.
Another dead hard drive
This workhorse has started making grinding noises. It was a drive that came out of a laptop that I upgraded to an SSD a few years ago. Since then I have been using it as an archive drive, something that I dump backups on and then put it in a fancy shoebox just in case […]
This has been a long, long year
I think everyone knows that this has been a year, well I just watched a great video from Sarah (rhymes with peachy) Dietschy about what she has been going through over the last little bit, spoiler alert, its been a lot. Not much to say, just wanted to share.
Another Weekend in the woods
This weekend we went out for another walk around Sir Standford Flemming park, and this time I took my camera. Last weekend we saw a huge woodpecker and a wood duck, but since I only had my phone we only got a decent picture of the duck. I try to get into a wooded area […]
I got out with the camera this weekend
I was able to get out to take some pictures with my camera this weekend, but I haven’t had a chance to look at them let alone edit them. This shot is from early in the summer of a little bird eating at the feeder, by fall they were eating at the sunflowers.
Drink more water
I’ve been feeling the need to drink more water. During the first lockdown in the spring in was drinking around a litre of carbonated mineral a day, however this time around I don’t know plan on going to Costco till at least January. So, I’m going to channel the advice and tips that I can […]
Second coffee of the morning
Bad sleep and new lockdown make Jeff something something. This second coffee before 10am is not optional today.
Reading Peace Talks
It’s the first new Dresden books in years!
Snack Time
Sometimes you need a tray for your coffee.
A weekend in November
It was a pretty good weekend as 2020 goes. There was some sun and while there are rising numbers of #sars-cov-2 all around us, and we are looking at being locked down like we were in April for at least the next 6 weeks, we are doing pretty ok. We got out of the house […]
My Saturday morning project
These are a small batch cinnamon roll that is mostly based on this recipe.
