  • Statues in the gardens don't catch the eye like the many flowers, but I wanted to capture these two.

    The fountain was installed for Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, so it was fitting to be beside it on a day dedicated to her.

    The statue of Flora was restored years ago after some noticeable damage.

  • Ducklings were peeping and dashing about chasing insects on the pond at the gardens.

  • I visited the Public Gardens with my family for their Victoria Day tea party yesterday. The flowers in the gardens were more vibrant than during our last visit but a bit damp from earlier rain.

  • When I returned home Celestine had gotten out my shoebox of miniatures that holds HeroQuest pieces and lined up many of them. We played the game soon after for the first time.

    We tried using the companion phone app for the new edition of the game. It played well, but the changes in names for monsters were a bit distracting. It's a great quality of life enhancement and enables solo play.

  • I went for a run in light rain this morning, first encountering a dragon in the grass of someone's lawn and then running down paths at Africville Lookout Park. At the park the apple trees had started to bloom but were weighed down with raindrops.

  • Our office orchid is blooming.

  • This morning I finished map 2 of Koala Rescue Club, achieving vice-president status for Yugambeh.

    I'm still having fun with this game and for the next two weeks I'm off to Galinyala, Map 3.

  • Ten years ago today I visited Tonet in Makati, where she was working as we waited for the immigration process to finish. I maveled at the murals in the area. This one feels fitting for this early morning.

  • I got a new Wear OS watch today and I was happy to see the Mastodon PWA notifications worked well. I could favorite and boost from the watch.

  • Passing these rhododendrons on my way to the bus stop brightened my morning.
