Day 15, Freedom! Sort of

It was our first day after our travel self-isolation was over. So what did we do on the big day?

The getting up, feeding cats, making coffee, having breakfast all happened like normal, if perhaps with a bit more purpose than lately. The showering and pants happened a little sooner than usual.

The it was out! Yes, out, in a cautious but legitimate way. Fresh bread from Cobs, observing the social distance. Depositing a cheque at the bank, disturbing a guy sleeping in the lobby. The Calgary Farmer's Market for fruit and other produce, and some treats. Co-op gas (cheap!) and some other odds and ends. Linda hit another market for some pies from South Island; not quite as good as Fat Bastard, but infinitely better than Simple Simon.

Home, unpack. Lunch. On line version of Cards Against Humanity with friends, which is fun, and better than last time's semi-drunk navigating around the table to deal with the cards, drinks, and snacks as required.

Later tonight will be more Big Bang Theory. We are part way through season 4. Season 5 will be acquired tomorrow.

Most of the key wording is done,  but there are always some that I missed or have picked up the incorrect keywords. In other photo related news, the camera table downstairs is much more organized than it was, but there's a little more work in progress.

It will be no surprise to you that the cats are NOT observing the social distance thing.



The serendipity shot has been blogged before, but I didn't think you guys would mind.


Linda showing her commitment to the social distance thing by texting up a storm with a buddy. Yes, she's awake.

A pretty shot just because. I'm hoping this sort of view goes away really soon.


To balance it, two friends walking through a forest.


In other isolation news. My regular desk is still a mess. Aside from a start on the camera table, essentially none of the clutter was dealt with. Don't ask about the rest of downstairs. I did not settle into a deep dive into The Starless Sea. Maybe tomorrow. The same answer applies for getting on the bike spin trainer. If the weather was a bit nicer I'd seriously consider digging out my run gear and starting that again. Yes, seriously consider. Seriously serious. Swimming is right off the table for the indefinite future, and by then I'll probably have forgotten how again. Unless, that is, I build a handyman special endless pool in the basement. A few 2x4's, some poly sheeting, an outboard boat motor, some duct tape to hold it all together, what could go wrong?

  1. I too am done with the thrill of pale winter dusk light. That said I do like 4 just because. Cheers, Sean
