Impending thunderstorm leads to deteriorating working conditions.

Evening walks.

A medium-sized brindle dog crossing a wooden footbridge. The sun is low and there is abundant greenery all around.

The Batu Caves outside of Kuala Lumpur (from last week).

A giant golden statue — a Murugan statue — next to 272 colourfully painted stairs up to caves in limestone cliffs. There are loads of people at the base and climbing the stairs.

A small monkey sitting on a ledge in a colourfully painted temple facade.

Descent into Hong Kong.

A series of islands of many sizes in a blue sea with fluffy low-lying clouds.

One last Malay breakfast feast.

Mango lassi, Malay tea, fruit, bread, butter, and kufi on a plate.

Laura Brady@laurab7· Jul 8

I genuinely have never experienced a more welcoming place than Kuala Lumpur. And I have never, ever been so well fed.

Small slice of the breakfast buffet showing kiwi and fig pastries that were unbelievably delish.

Good morning from Malaysia.

View of the Petronas Towers and the urban park in front of it. High rises circle a forested park with a turquoise blue pool in the middle.

Laura Brady@laurab7· Jul 4

Petronas Towers glowing in the dark. (Kuala Lumpur)

Twin towers that are slightly art deco-looking with a bridge connecting them about one-third of the way up. They are lit in such a way that they appear to glow against the twilight.

I’ve been reunited with my one true love: cheese naan.

Four triangles of flatbread stuffed with cheese next to a bowl of very yellow paneer kurma.

Hello Hong Kong.

Dramatics stormy skies above a small mountain behind a busy airport.

Happy Canada Day, friends.

Had the best trail ride today. #Caledon

Looking at the back of a man riding a red bicycle along a gravel path shrouded by trees.

White fluffy clouds in a blue sky above a burbling river lined with trees and grasses (and probably ticks, the stupid fuckers).

Might be the recovering Catholic in me but I love this sculpture so much. Its almost under the Ambassador Bridge near the university and riverfront in Windsor. www.citywindsor.ca/residents/cu...

Sculpture. Four bent black figures with praying hands on a broad lawn surrounded by trees.

There is an ad in my fortune cookie. 🫤

Half a fortune cookie with a slip of paper sticking out. It has a QR code and reads, Your financial future isn’t up to date. It’s built. NEO Financial.

What a freak. #Caledon. [alt: a Canada Goose honking from the roof of a commercial plaza. We can only see the freak’s head over the sign “Smiley Dental” and “Mad Pizza.”]

Summer Solstice calls for Ruby pictures, right?

A regal dog looking off in to the distance. She is beneath a tree next to a dirt laneway with wooden fence running behind and around her. She is a 80-lb brindle mixed breed dog wearing a harness and a purple ID tag. She looks pensive and intelligent but she's actually just watching her doggie friend Max run to the park.

Weekend plans booked. (Well, what remains of the weekend.)

A book on a pillow in and outdoors setting. The book is Whistler by Ann Patchett.

Country life. #Caledon

Blue and orange sunset with wispy clouds. Country silos are outlined against the sky.

I bought a banana duck with a mullet today because I earn money and can do whatever I want with it.

Small sculpture of a a duck emerging from a peeling banana with black hair that’s in party-in-the-back mode.

Local trivia night is annoyingly dominated by a group of teachers but we won the music round a few times now and it is our crowning family achievement.

11/12 on the music round with a list of songs and bands.

Two grinning bearded young men in a pub.

The pic does not do it justice but I got this beautiful mango wood bowl from Costco for a *very* reasonable price. www.costco.ca/p/-/maison-n...

A wooden bowl with salad spoons. The inside is white with a blue vibe pattern.

This book is so good. Full of interesting history of librarians turning spy! When does the movie come out? libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

The Grand Valley Public Library has a brilliant vending machine initiative in concert with their local food bank. Everything is a quarter. Libraries absolutely rule and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Screenshot from Facebook showing a grinning librarian in front of a rotating vending machine with the text: We have a little secret to finally share! Look what arrived in our library?!? We are so fortunate to have been approached by the Grand Valley Ontario Food Bank to house a cold storage vending machine right here in our library. It’s open when we are! All selections are only 25 cents and this resource is for everyone regardless of the incredible price! Great things are happening at the library so make sure to come and check it out! #grandvalleyontario #grandvalley #locallibrary #loveyourlibrary #librariesareforeveryone
