I had homegrown sauteed swiss chard tonight for the first time. It took this long because rabbits had prior access. I've since blocked that access. The pic is actually spinach, which was even more devoured.

I like books, music, films, food, golf and travel. Some 13 cubs that I saw together in Tanzania, Sept. 2025. Other pic is me in a desert in Peru. DMs are fine. 🚫Starter Packs 🚫Trump obsession 🚫Crypto 🚫Religion 🚫Romance
Sat with JUDI DENCH, KENNETH BRANAGH becomes visibly moved when talking about the nature of loss & grief and simply not having the words to express these emotions. He then he turns to a line from Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’… TEA WITH JUDI DENCH (2025)
Anyone know what this is? It is on the inside of a gazebo curtain. I thought at first it was from a hornet or something similar. About 9 cm long.
I think much of what is wrong in modern America came from the Reagan era. He was the gateway President to greed, corruption, deregulation, ignoring the environment, etc.
But about 34% still support the dumbass. That is mind-blowing. Bluesky seems like a sanctuary for sane but suffering Americans.
Ugh. Up after going to bed an hour ago. Had a nightmare with a guy threatening me, using different words (though I was making it up). Disturbing. Time for a pill.
I've seen the beavers and the damage done. There are so many trees chewed up in my neighbourhood. I also saw two raccoons while walking tonight. Offspring: Is it safe? Parent: So safe you wouldn't believe it. (A little Olivier / Hoffman joke for those who know.)
This is the third tomato worm, or horn worm, to be on my plants. The first was plucked off by a robin. The second I tossed in the river behind my house. This one I put out in the open for bird food. #gardening #tomato
We went out for dinner last night in one of the most sought-after restaurants in London Ontario, Cintro on Wellington. Delicious courses, Asian fusion. More plates than what is here. And happy anniversary!

The haul. I dug up all of the garlic I planted last Fall. 80 plants. This is about 65. The other 15 are hanging up in my gazebo to cure. #garden

The same party working to ban abortion signed a law cutting $990 billion from Medicaid and CHIP and $300 billion from food aid. CHIP is entirely children. Nearly half of SNAP feeds families with kids. CBO says 10 million lose coverage. Protected in the womb, abandoned at the crib.
I recently found out that there is a cave in Montreal. I booked a tour. It is small but it was interesting, created by a retreating glacier in the last ice age. I was in the largest cave in the world a couple of months ago.
Is there money in the Ontario budget to get Doug Ford a soother? Poor baby. #Ontario #Fordisanidiot #conservativesareevil
I am sooooooooooooooo tired of seeing pictures of Columbo. Enough!

I had a 12 day trip to Nova Scotia. My driving time was over 52 hours, and I traveled 4600 kilometers. I was primarily at our family cottage, but added mini excursions for hiking, breweries (true!), sightseeing. #Canada
While I was in the east coast of Canada I picked up more King Cole Tea, 648 bags to supplement the 100 or so I have left. Good for another year. This tea is blended in New Brunswick for about 150 years. Buy Canadian 👍
Birthday breakfast (not mine). We always make eggs Benedict for occasions. Homemade sauce is so much better. I can say confidently I will never have this as good in a restaurant.
Yup, I hiked this route ... alone. I hadn't seen anyone for about an hour and a half too. Extreme caution. Pfft!
I hiked up Mount Carleton this morning. It took four hours and was about 9.3 km long.
