  • I did a 10 km run this morning to and around Point Pleasant Park and encountered these two. it's fantastic weather to close out the year and so nice to get some time along the shore and amid trees.

  • I haven't used Goodreads since 2018, but I like the idea of tracking my reads on the fediverse. So I set up an account with @bookwyrm and I'll be posting my reads at @apollo@bookwyrm.social.

  • I was going through photos and found this snail that delighted me.

  • My sister dropped by yesterday with some presents and mine were some fun Nintendo things.

  • In March I had my last haircut with a stylist who had been cutting my hair for more than a decade, as she moved away from the city. I usually had a cut every 12 weeks like clockwork, but had more than 9 months between cuts for the first time in more than 10 years as I didn't seek out a new stylist. My hair was the longest it had been in as much time this morning. At noon I tried a new stylist nearby and now have the shortest hair I've had in many years.

  • I captured a few shots of murals during a walk near the Commons.

  • A nearby house always has window art featuring a worm character named Womr. For the holidays they have a painting of Womr eating Christmas lights.

  • When we pass the Chan Buddhist temple, Celestine always likes to check in with the guardian lions.

    @apollo oh wow! I ran on that track every day I was in Halifax this summer, but I didn’t know it gets turned into an outdoor skating rink in the winter!

    @IPEdmonton it was built for the 2011 Canada Winter Games and made a permanent fixture after the public started using it extensively. In the winter free skate rentals are available and in the summer the roller skates come out.

  • We walked past the skating oval at the Halifax Commons just as the skating session was wrapping up and Celestine was transfixed by the Zamboni.
