Birthday!

All the best to Lynne this coming Monday! We should be seeing her back in the country soon according to sources.

And Speaking of Monday…

If you haven’t done so yet, a reminder that it’s Election Day on April 28. If you haven’t voted yet, I, sure you are aware of the heightened importance of this one. There will likely be a big turnout of the advance polls are an indication. Busiest times at the polls are usually when they first open, lunchtime and after work, so plan accordingly. Polls are open from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm. Regardless of the wait, it is always worth the time to make our voices heard.

Weekly Walks

Saturday’s forecast is for clouds but no rain, and temperatures creeping towards seasonal. Let’s say goodbye to April with a big gathering at L@8, followed by coffee at Tim’s.

Weekly Walks

The promise of light rain and cold looms in the forecast, but if we dress well, we should be okay. That said, it being Easter weekend, people may be busier than usual. Maybe a short walk just to say we did it?

Update: there will be a walk this Easter Monday at 9 from Tim’s 2.

Birthday Alert

A certain blog writer is celebrating a milestone on the 24th (Thursday). There will be a musical convocation/party for this at the Linsmore Tavern that evening. Doors at 8 and Félix & the Cats set up first. You’re all welcome!

Happy Birthdays to Youse!

To Jim (Monday) and Nishe (Tuesday), all the best for a happy happy!

Weekly Walks

This Saturday is cool but at least not wet. L@8 for a distance of your choosing.

Weekly Walks

April showers will hopefully bring May flowers (over and above snowdrops).

At least that’s the forecast for Saturday morning. That said, chances of rain are about 60%, and could improve further between now and Saturday. L@8, with rainwear suggested.

Offsite Walk?

It’s still early, but perhaps we can consider trying the deferred walk from the Brickworks in early May, on a Sunday?
