Vancouver has some of the worst air quality in the world right now, due to the forest fires in the US. Visibility is down to less than 500m.

 

On top of that, our local pier caught on fire a few days ago and started spewing toxic chemicals from the creosote.

 

Eyes are burning and headaches are awful.

 

I'm fucking off to Northern Ontario with my friend for a week starting tomorrow. See if I can get a builder on board for spring and have something to run away to by the end of next summer. 

 

Hasta la vista.

I look forward to seeing Neko on Ben Fogle's New Lives in the Wild at some point

Put up a trail camera in the woods earlier in the summer, and pulled it down this weekend on a quick Thanksgiving visit.

 

Poor thing - looks like a lost dog. Hope he finds his way home, or we might have to adopt him.

We have about 8 flights to mainland UK a day.  Takes 15 minutes, feels like getting a lift in someone's car. 

 

The islands' newspaper agent puts messages on Facebook to tell people when the papers come in, or if fog has delayed them. 

 

Our supermarket lets in 10 people at a time. 

 

Golf buggies are road legal.

Well, sure you've got Covid, but you also get e-scooters, so....swings and roundabouts.

You roasted and ate that little critter, didn’t you Neko?

no chance.

 

got to shoot a bunch of guns this weekend as well, including an old mauser sniper rifle, a remington lever action rifle and a ross rifle from ww1. haven't done any shooting since i was 16.

 

could never shoot an animal unless it was chewing on my leg, or i was starving.

Almost easier just to chew on your own leg

Yeah the Scilly Isles are fantastic, when I stayed I was amazed how quiet it was, stayed at least a mile from the coast but could hear the gentle tide lapping at the beaches and absolutely nothing else. Mad how little things like that become special. 

 

Also Island hopping in the sunshine with cream teas and pimms was lovely.

Little reminder from mother nature today that we're just tenants and serve at her pleasure.
