Wishing you a successful treatment and smooth recovery.

A small chapel overlooks a small village next to water. An old cemetery is behind the chapel. It's evening with the moon in the sky.

A poster for "The Bunker". Two men standing in a bunker posed comedically.

A poster for "Intimi(Dating)" feature a woman's chest and face.

A poster for "After Shakespeare" featuring the actress in the various Shakespeare characters she portrays.

A poster for "Goregeous". Feature the damaged head of a sculpture.

Saw four shows this year and we enjoyed them all. "The Bunker" was my personal favourite, from the same pair who gave us 2023's "The Stakeout" which was also great.

A street with cars parked next to an old building with a gated courtyard. A Fringe festival sign hangs on the gate. People stand around talking outside of the gate.

The end of Ottawa Fringe 2025 on Sunday evening. It was surprising how quickly the signs and posters were taken down! People were still hanging out seeing the last "Best of Fest" shows when we left.

Reporters from CBC/Radio-Canada interview people in a cafe. One of the reporters holds a camera, the other a microphone.

CBC/Radio-Canada was there interviewing people for the grand opening. Later an article was published: ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/217...

Louise Penny, author of the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache books, opened a replica of the bistro from her novels in Knowlton, Quebec this Saturday. The treats and drinks are delicious and the cafe is cozy. And you might see Louise Penny herself welcoming visitors!

A picture of a cappuccino and the book Absolution on a table in a cafe.

A creepy read from @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social that chills an otherwise light and cheerful Sunday morning at the cafe.

Apple TV+ is knocking it out of the park: Severance and Silo are amazing science-fiction shows.

I'd love to be added to number 3!

It's nice to stop along a lonely rural road and just enjoy the quiet in a covered bridge.
