British/Canadian atheist who loves my gf, kids, cat, and family. Proud dad to a trans daughter. Pro LGBTQ+ and human rights. Vancouver is my home. Vaccines cause adults. Religion is a pox on humanity.
I haven’t, no! I just found out recently (she and I have been estranged for a few years - nothing happened but I think in retrospect she’s been struggling with this for a while) and I’ve reached out to her which I hope will build a bridge. Thank you, that means a lot. 😊 Here’s my balcony.
Thinking of seeing The Oddesy this weekend. Here are some pics from last year of Odysseus from the island of Ithaca.
Some pics from my morning walk on the Stanley Park seawall.
You’ll feel differently if you get shingles. It’s debilitating and will scar you for life.
Some pics from my morning walk in #StanleyPark in #Vancouver. The ship behind, Ovation of the Seas, is a 168,000 tonne behemoth, and dwarves The Wind in front. The Titanic was less than 50,000 tonnes. The Wind is basically multimillion $ condos and the strata votes on where they should go next.
This in in Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Bella helping with the crossword, and having a lazy Saturday. It was gone noon and she was the sole reason the bed wasn’t made.

Canada 🇨🇦 6-0 🇶🇦 Qatar This was Granville at 6!
This is at Calgary airport, duty free. It’s in CAD but that’s still insane.
I was recently out with my gf admiring some brilliant blue flowers and I asked her if she saw reds and greens with equal intensity. She said yes. It brought home how much of the world I’ve missed out on being r/g colourblind. I see subdued reds and greens, and fail to see the number.
It’s pretty here, and I can hear the ocean. #Vancouver
Jesus F Christ! 1. It’s 2026. I’m not the only one with an ‘ in my name. 2. ‘ is supposed to be an acceptable character. It’s obviously not. 3. It’s this sort of shit that make me not want to do business with them but unfortunately they’re the only gig in town with what I want.
Not great photos but it’s still pretty cool getting to watch a grey whale from my place while I’m having dinner.
“Support when you need it” Except today. Sunday. When I really need it. I find it hard to believe a global company with 500,000 employees and nearly $100B in revenue can’t provide customer support on a Sunday. Pathetic. Do better, #UPS
Sometimes I suspect players who come out of nowhere and suddenly have a 300 point lead are fake accounts Duolingo makes to encourage you to practice.
Duck season? 🦆 Rabbit season? 🐇 No! It’s halibut season! 🎣
I love this time of year, and May is off to a god start!
I had basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan, and olive oil. Here’s what I made:
Why spend your own when there’s Other People’s Money.
I remember when the US president wasn’t owned by Putin
