G'day y'all. 

Hi, dugh and Mum.  

[dughlas]

This evening's meal was sheephead filets (it's fish @Page Scrawler, you wouldn't like it) poached in parchment with a seasoning blend especially for seafood and fresh asparagus blanched then tossed in hot melted butter.

I don't have neighbors.  

You mean they evacuated the rest of Canada and left you behind? That's what happens when you wander alone into the forrest with nothing but your dog and a trusty pair of pruners.

He dealt with his neighbors with said pruner in the woods... 🤪🔪

What are you studying?

Research methodologies. In the humanities, which is a bit outside my comfort zone.

Cookie and I come as a pair... I prune, and she drags the branches wherever she wants.  

That would be fun to watch

Sheephead is good... had some on Friday, when we caught some...

Still waiting for a pic of the veranda dragon...

How do you think I broke them? Bone is hard to cut through.

Sounds complicated

Good morning everyone. 

Had a couple of issues with my internet. It'll be a while before I can catch up. I believe I saw the words don't have neighbors somewhere. Oh my gosh! I wish I was that lucky. All I get are a bunch of crazy people who can't be quiet for five minutes. I'm telling you! Apartment 9 is cursed!

See you around.

The Canadian Pruner Massacre ... limbs dragged everywhere.

G'day y'all. Forecast to be warm (75/24°) and sunny before potential thunderstorms later.

Ugh.  I can totally relate.  My new neighbors like to play loud music and it's quite annoying.

57F here and rainy.  I got up early and went grocery shopping, then stopped at DD for brekkie.  I'm hoping to get some writing done today

Hi all

Sorry to have been quiet for the last few weeks.

Hectic (but great) holiday with family and friends in England.

Now, for much of this month, much of my time is consumed with preparing and delivering a course for new volunteers for an LGBT Helpline, and evaluating the trainees' progress.

But I'll try to at least pop my head into this room most days and see if I'm missing anything important or exciting...

Carry a wee  bone saw as well as the pruners...

Hi, Nick.   I get that... living in Toronto was tough for this country boy, but at least I had the farm to escape to whenever I wanted.

Morning, dugh and Mum.   It supposed to be 16 this afternoon. It's 10 right now, and no sun.
