Apparently the other side of the street has power. #Ottawa #IceStorm2023

Last week I got to portray princess Cecilia Vasa, born 1540, daughter of the Swedish king Gustav Vasa. She was a rebel, friend of Elizabeth I and later in life a successful privateer on the Baltic sea. I gave tours for children and families at the Maritime museum here in Stockholm. So fun to guide in character! #maritimemuseum #storytelling #museum #history #sweden
After a dump of new snow yesterday, today it's sunny and 2C (feels like 8C) so I brought my #knitting out into a corner of sunshine.
Dear snow plow guys, I don't think this is the pavement. Oh, never mind, you found it.

Looks like someone got cold feet.
Had the tree guy in today to thin out our sugar maple. He trimmed off a small branch with this gorgeous frilly boll. East #Ottawa peeps needing a good tree guy, DM me.

My parents’ cat is a rescue. She came with a lot of hang-ups and traumas. She also came with a brush and oh wow did she love this brush. The brush was the secret to gaining this cat’s trust. She demands to be brushed twice a day otherwise she gets sad. The brush lasted 10 years. For the past three years my parents have tried every cat brush on the market and they have been WRONG and the cat has been sad. Until today. This Lee Valley bench brush is a good brush. #cat #catstodon #catsofmastodon
There was some freezing rain during the day yesterday, followed by snow.

Even without an algorithm, sometimes the juxtaposition is <chef's kiss>
Trying to decide if there's enough left to hem the pants I've almost finished, or if I should cry uncle on this game of thread chicken.
I thought it was an art installation, "The Committee has reviewed the Camel and issued a Revised Proposal" RT @GeorgeTheGorilla: Renovation of our Africa Gallery is in full swing this month. This is what the space looked like after all the old displays were removed.
Except for the elephant in the room, of course, which in this case is a giraffe!
Now the room is being redecorated and prepared for a brand new gallery scheduled for 2023.
