An amazing medieval library to distract one briefly from current news and marking - the magnificent Bodleian Library in Oxford (Picture taken at a recent visit) #Medievalsky

No, no, yeah it is!

Today's kit includes a new bowtie.

I suggested to Angela that she add hot peppers to her new raised beds.

Well, isn't it beautiful to see two people
So much in love?
Barenaked as two virgins, hand in hand
And hand and hand in glove

Well, you can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go
Be my, be my, be my
Be my Yoko Ono, whoa-

Graphic with the text: 44th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

44 years ago today, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law. It laid the foundation for a stronger, more just Canada.

It is up to us all to protect the values of freedom and equality enshrined in the Charter — to keep building a better Canada, for all.

A bouquet of yellow and purple freesias, a pair of orange ranunculus, three orange tulips, and a pair of purple irises.

Bought me some flowers today, just so I could share them with you.

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile, she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

Today's kit

This year, Cinco de Mayo lands on Taco Tuesday. Huh.

A sneak peek at tomorrow's column!

Tomorrow at 7:40 am EDT (GMT-4)

89.1 FM in Waterloo Region, Guelph, & Wellington County

Or online: buff.ly/2TEPmBp (set region to Kitchener-Waterloo)

Just received my first order from Halifax's The Knottier. Very nice bowties and cufflinks!

Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear
But where are the clowns?

I misread your first line as, "It is honestly kind of sad to see the limitless excrement of tech companies..."

But, I'm not sure I read you wrong.

I'm working from home today, and keep stopping to go "What was that sound? Is someone there?"

And it turns out that they're still building a deck in my backyard, like I paid them to.

It's a good thing I'm so cute.

This photo is of Tracy Caldwell Dyson, in the International Space Station's cupola in 2010. NASA Astronaut Dyson has spent over 372 days in space.

I recently saw this image labelled as "Hopecore". I really like that.

Remakes, yes.
Sequels, no.

And I went to the doctor
I went to the mountains
I looked to the children
I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
Closer I am to fine

Today's kit.

The Sticker Salesman is a neanderthal in this regard. He clearly has zero understanding for the complexities of a modern Criminal justice system. He's so stuck on retribution, he cannot serve the people of Ontario.

But who's Cynthia? 🤪

Today's kit

I'm currently reading Mick Herron's 'Real Tigers' and he's used a word I don't know, "untrammelled". So I looked up "trammel"

Definition: Anything that hinders or impedes free action; anything that confines, restrains, fetters, or shackles.

So "untrammelled" is unrestricted, free movement.

This is currently my backyard.

Seriously though, that joke is funny enough that "Hwæt" is now on my list of tattoos to get. (Not on my knuckles, but still.)

I love a loud/tacky jacket lining. My latest is the Hungry Caterpillar.

Were I to get something spelled out on my knuckles it would be "Hwæt".

"Hey, what does that mean?"
"That's a fascinating question."
