Watch my life unravel...
|
They said it was going to be a drab autumn, on account of the drought, but it was actually quite dramatic. My friend Nancy says every autumn has its own dominant colour, and I think this year it was orange. I don’t know if there actually were more orange trees this year or if I was […] There’s this three-storey apartment building at the corner of Caldwell and Merivale, on the edge of the Experimental Farm, right by the path where I go for walks. There are nine balconies facing the Farm, and sometimes, if I’m lucky, I catch glimpses of people living their lives. There used to be an old woman who […] Last night I attended a free session at our local mental health facility. It was called Getting the Low Down on Substance Use, and was presented by Michael Coughlin, a registered nurse with the Royal’s Substance Use and Concurrent Disorders program. I was interested because I have a young friend who uses heroin. He was kicked […] I had the best birthday EVER. It involved three whole days of getting spoiled. There was an excess of gluttony. GC made me french toast with a mountain of fruit, and he took me out for dinner at The Buzz, and my son took me out for dinner at GuadalaHarry’s. Also there was cake and […] Thanks to everybody who entered my sock contest! I entered all your names into RandomPicker, and RandomPicker randomly picked a winner. And that winner is…… SID! Congratulations, Sid! Sounds like the timing is right, since you’re contemplating giving up your barefootedness. Please send your snail mail address to zoomery at gmail dot com, and I’ll send you pictures of […] Astronaut Love Triangle was brilliant and superb and I love them more each time I see them. They’ve added a couple more pieces to their repertoire (I especially liked the Roller Derby Girls) and they’ve modified at least one piece to reflect changes in the composition of the band (the lovely, irreplaceable Aggie has moved […] Yesterday I watched a nasty old lady beat my swap box to death with her cane. Rosie and I were out for an afternoon walk in the Enchanted Forest. As we rounded the curve in the path, I saw the tree upon which the swap box lives. And there was an old lady viciously smashing the […] I won the grand prize in the MoxyMaüs draw! 62 socks! Every pair of socks in their collection! I’m celebrating my good fortune by having a little contest of my own. MoxyMaüs is a local sock company. The socks are designed here in Ottawa, but made in Turkey, which, apparently, is the Sock-Making Capital of the World. My […] I tried to be philosophical when I got home from my walk yesterday morning and discovered the Internet was down. “I’ll work on my sewing project,” I thought. But first I needed to find out the average waist size of a three year old, as that was the next step in my sewing project. How did […] I’ve been following the sex assault trial of Steve Desjourdy, the Ottawa police officer who cut off the t-shirt and bra of a young woman while she was pinned to the cell block floor by several other officers. This case made headlines a few years ago, and I blogged about it more than once. The young […] |
