Taking flight

Breakfast hunt

Government Wharf

NOT hairy salamanders 😝

Patterns in the sand

Quite a view

Shell, or in the 70s when I was a kid, the ashtrays at every cottage, beach campground 😂

In flight (expand to see)

Rock formations on Rizzers Beach Nova Scotia

Rocks..looks like a painting to me…

Wednesday so far

Had leftover roasted veggies, curry rice was required (and don’t have to share with the celiac who shall not be named)

Yup

It’s my mother… still need to keep some semblance of peace

Monday evening was beautiful to view

Example of the struggles atm with the person I am here to help: absolutely foot down refuses to believe that the neighbours truck is Japanese, not British regardless of how much proof i can give that the Brit’s don’t make these. I’m exhausted

Afternoon walk

Just woke up and saw the news from 🇯🇵 be safe as possible everyone

Just sat down to the Jays game… holy shitballs I missed a hell of a first inning

Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia

Time for chai latte and a cheddar jalapeño scone

If, BIG IF, I have to stay in Canada after getting done sorting my dads affairs and getting my mom semi-sorted I think I’ll need to get back to Vancouver Island, Nova Scotia is nice to visit but not my vibe at all, no mountains few good trails,not many “outdoorsy healthy lifestyle”culture.

Hamburger good, cream of zucchini soup is phenomenal

Some quiet and bright nature is all I ever asked for….
But fate has other plans to kick me in the nuts when trying to help.
Being around someone who can’t talk without degrading others or telling a story of “being right, sorting out others” are exhausting

Finally a nice evening, and a couple hours of quiet from a person so selfish and toxic I spent my career on the other side of the worlds 2nd largest country and followed that by living on the other side of the planet, to have distance. Barely holding on right now to be honest.

UK never lose your sense of humour

Just went into Park Lane mall on Spring Garden Road in Halifax NS. The last time I was in it was to see U2-Rattle and Hum in the cinema there… so late autumn/early winter 1988 -fekn hell I’m old

No matter what country I’m in, I always find myself in interesting places and situations, this time invited to a book reading by great local author Bruce W Bishop

Welp I haven’t completely lost my 日本語. Ran into 2 HS girls of a year study abroad program from Osaka. They were discussing a cookie in an Asian grocery shop, I let them know it’s just an OREO, get it cheaper at the regular store (and had a chat about why they were here, how it was for them here.

I fear that once things are done end of next month, start of June, I going to have a critical level mental and emotional collapse. Dealing with extremely toxic people and not having an out available (and having the assumption of staying forced on me regardless of what I say) is a horrific situation.
