Broken Area

We’re back. Even an LCBO trip today! I found out what artist trading cards are. Does anyone have an Isabelle rookie card? Pretty warm today. Hey I’m on holidays!

The title? It is a list of things I hate. I hate these things because today is the weekend before Canada Day and the grocery store was a mad house. We visited London. We saw Maddie! I had my 60th birthday, so I am now elderly. Jon did not change the list this week..

A day late. You can decide if it is a dollar short. Isabelle was in Sudbury. Jon came with us. Very nice day today if windy. Also sort of short today. Episode 581 - Theatres Without Roofs Isabelle & Dave Download

Let the circle, be unbroken. Nice day, but very windy, likely no cycling today. They moved everything in the store and it is very annoying. Jon stayed home to watch the F1 qualifying. Went to a cool thing at the museum. Garage sales are a scourge on humanity.

I forgot to charge the phone I use to record last week. Wind. The constant is wind. Isabelle is off to an art swap today. I had to do it solo for like 2 minutes, it wasn’t good…. No Jon this week. Isabelle has been working in the garden. I’ve been trying to cycle in this wind….

The title has literally nothing to do with the episode. Well maybe a very little. Mother’s Day tomorrow. Jon came, which is always nice. Seems like a decent day, mid teens temperature wise. Isabelle is going on a walk for Mother’s Day. I’m cooking stuff for Mother’s Day. Isabelle might be going to the Robertson Cliffs.

Jon came this week! THE TERM IS OVER. THE SHOW IS OVER AT ISABELLE’S GALLERY! So we’re both in good spirits. I’m getting my bike out today! Oddly, no election talk. We saw a plane! Oh, one pic is the plane, the other is plastic making.

This one is not about animal behaviour. I mean really, are any of our episodes ever about anything? THE TERM IS OVER. The show at Isabelle’s gallery is winding down. The snow is gone. Might get my bike out soon!

This week’s title works on two levels. The stuff Isa is doing for an art project (which.sounds super cool) and the fact that the melting snow has a sculpture like effect, it’s kind of cool. Speaking of cool, it’s cool, but above freezing, so lots of melting. I’m still mad about the USA. I gave an exam on Monday. I have another on Friday. We voted.

Yup it’s been a while. I was away at a conference two weeks ago, and last week I lost my voice. Of course many of you are saying ‘Oh Dave lost his voice, on hon, anyway…’ The term is winding down. Jon came again, he’s always super helpful. Isabelle’s student presented their work. This city is full of micro climates.

Shopping! Isabelle has been busy, of course. Tim Horton’s, it’s Canadian, sorta. It’s Jon’s birthday! Happy 24th Jonno! I did self checkout today, not a fan. Why is it winter again?

It’s been a while. Isabelle was away, she’s back. Hey, Jonno came along! Isa has a workshop tonight on grant writing. It’s warming up, spring soon? Now whey, whey.

Yes yes, we didn’t do last week. Lots of stuff has happened. We were to drive to Quebec last week, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Isabelle will head over there next week. The break is over, so I’ll be back teaching. There are Canadian flags everywhere! I’m not going to talk about him.

We skipped last week for a good reason The awesome Noëlla Guimond, Isabelle’s Maman, died last week. She had a huge impact on our lives of course, but, she affected many others. Her work was always about lifting other people up. Remember that. Oh yeah, and the USA sucks. You can take your trade war and shove it. I’ll see Maddie in a couple of months. Hey, maybe Isabelle will go to Germany! Oh yeah...

Oh the picture? It’s the first thing that came up when I searched on ‘Not Very Structured and Weird’. Isabelle has some exhibitions coming up. Oh and a workshop! I’m used to my schedule. We went a little later today, so the episode is coming out a little later, stop complaining. Jon is doing great at the U.

Weird weather today, not that bad then really cold. My brother got in a car accident, spoiler alert, he’s fine. His car isn’t. Isabelle has a workshop tonight and more coming up. I’m finally getting used to my schedule, so I think I’m good. Again, my brother is fine, thanks Hyundai.

So, what is the etiquette on saying Happy New Year? Is it too late? If so, screw you, you can’t have a Happy New Year from us! Short one today. We got back on Tuesday from a week in London. London was great, we saw family, we went to a cool café that had board games. We went to the T and T superstore which was awesome. We had every possible type of weather on the drive there. This term is shaping...

Hey, Happy New Year! Christmas Eve went off well, with ancient Roman food. Christmas went off well as well. We’ve been fixing up a room at home. Why is it so freaking warm? We’re going to see som live music tonight. That will be at a bar I’ve never heard of!

We went early today to avoid the nightmare that is Christmas groceries. It worked! I cashed in points today, so the groceries cost 9 bucks. We also were going to get our wheels re torqued, but that will wait until Monday. Making more bits and bites this week. I made shortbread this week, its gone. I’ll make sugar cookies this afternoon.

A little later today. It’s time to make the méli mélo. The streets are still pretty messy. It was a madhouse in the store today. The plumbing thing is basically done, so that’s good. The bits and bites are now in the oven actually.

More snow. Isabelle has a workshop today, I hope she can do it in person. Like I said, more snow. I gave an exam this week, the term is done! One day we will retire. Jon is a shovelling machine

SO yeah, we got 80 cm of snow Thursday night. Needless to say, Friday was a snow day. Of course I didn’t have to teach anyway. Jon and I took 2.5 hr to shovel the driveway. I went from BBQing stuff and hanging laundry outside to, well, this. I think our street got more snow than anyone, somehow.

  Nice day today. Indeed, I’d take my bike out if it weren’t such a pain. We watched the Snake River Canyon jump, err, Mike Tyson fighting Logan Paul. It was fun, also Isabelle watched sports. It was brutal. The two middle fights were actually pretty good. Isabelle has lots of art projects on the go.

Hey we’re back! We haven’t been doing things as the Internet Archive was down and that’s where we put the audio. Could one today, though it did warm up. Lots of useless trucks in the parking lot today. I didn’t get one of my favourite cashiers. Work is repetitive currently. Isabelle has projects, as usual. I got my COVID and flu shots and had side effects.

A day late. A day late because the recording screwed up yesterday, well part of it anyway. I don’t even know if the part about crazy fur and sparkles is in the episode actually. Isabelle had her final night of her installation. Our buses here are like Uber aft 6 on weekends, so that was interesting. We seem to keep forgetting things. The wind today is insane.
