Reader, teacher, and Irish terrier fan. I post mainly pictures of birds, my dog, and my garden, and about books. I like the outdoors - camping, walking, birdwatching, travelling. I am also interested in big pockets of art history, military history, and ancient history. She/her

I've been watching a lot of interviews with various expert commentators on YouTube lately, and just realized that one of the reasons I like them is being able to see into all the homes of these interesting people. I'm nosy (not in a judging way, just interested). I also like to look towards lit up windows on evening walks. I just like to see how people decorate.
I seem to have bitten my inner lip. And now my teeth want NOTHING more than to chomp down on that wound again and again. When did my teeth become my enemy?
I’ve caught a cold, and feel like garbage. However, after months of reading drought, THREE new books by always enjoyable authors have landed in my ereader. Lazy reading weekend, it is! #books
I’m thinking about going to Vancouver Island for a short holiday during Spring Break, mainly for birdwatching. Maybe see some lifers generally unavailable to me as a Prairie gal. Anyone have suggestions or advice about timing or good places? #birdwatching #VancouverIsland
Watching Speed because I can’t find anything else to watch and honestly it’s made me remember the bus driver who used to slow down for me when I was late going out to my bookstore job on Saturday mornings in high school. What a champ. I wish I could tell him how his kindness is still remembered. #kindness
Also, who do I need to harass to get a new adaptation of Wimsey with Tom Hiddleston? Can we start a petition? Bribe an official? What will get this done? #TomHiddleston
I’m watching the 1970s TV adaptation of the Wimsey series. Did TV shows always look this bad? (Blurry mainly). (Speaking as a person born in the 70s). #tv

Male Variegated Fairy-wren poses on a log on the banks of the Maranoa River

They've had a couple of good years for rain out there, so we saw examples of all 3 Fairywrens we'd normally see around Brisbane this trip, but none of the western types I was hoping for. Nevermind - they're always delightful.

And...happy #WrensDay to all who celebrate 😀

Who do I need to contact so I can volunteer to fix the spelling on the closed captioning for Poirot? It would be a labour of love, and I wouldn’t wimp out with the « Speaks a foreign language » silliness. #Poirot #ClosedCaptioning
The idea of a divorce registry is just about enough to make my head explode. First you get your marriage gifts. Now you get your divorce gifts. FFS. At some point will you be a grown up? Single people just get on with looking after themselves.
