Cloudy day with much of the same forecast this week. IT's not he end of the world but it certainly pushes my tomatoes back further. I am starting to realize I only imagined the fruits changing colour. They are as green as ever. Any orange I see is my hopeful tanned face reflected in the pure, 100% green skin. At this rate, one tomato might be ripe by Labour Day.

It was a heavy work day followed by a heavy trip to the dentist, so I swapped all my nature walks for Advil and soft foods. My only outdoor time was to and from the dentists office. I shall have to find a dentist at the other end of Beacon Hill Park at this rate.

PS - Last night around 5pm I was sitting in my chair, talking with Cindy, when I realized I was hearing a jet airplane engine nearby. That's odd since big planes don't fly anywhere near our apartment. I mentioned it to Cin just as the entire Snowbirds troupe flew overhead, made three loops around inner harbour and then headed off toward the airport! I haven't seen the Snowbirds in years and never expected to see them flying in Victoria. Another sound of home.

PS - I'm travelling for the next two weeks and will post updates when I get home. Adding this postscript to maintain the illusion that people are reading this. 😂
