January 21st @ 15:22 \ A real pea souper.

February 26th \ More streets have been paved. More street lamps have popped up. Landscape is ever changing around.

April 13th \ Firmly into the mucky spring with snowy rain added in.

April 14th \ Spoke too soon.

May 27th @ 14:40

July 1st @ 14:52 \ New development ever closer. It's difficult to understand how this little building has been through 2/3 of Canada's history as a dominion.

July 5th @ 12:57 \ Surreal to say the least having @gribiche visit the granary after these many years. Incredibly thankful this little building (with some help of the Internet) brought a great friend around. Still grinning like an idiot.

August 2nd @ 20:43

August 31st @ 19:31 \ On the 24th I said goodbye to my Nan, the mother of my biological father, Jim, ten months after she was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. I wasn't going to post anything about it here but I feel it's part of my mourning process, talking about it, rather than keeping it to myself despite feeling guilty like this is some cry for attention. I feel like I’ve lost a big connection to the father I never knew. Witnessing someone die.. hearing their last breath is so powerful.. so humbling. It brings thoughts of my own mortality. A part of me wishes I had some sort of faith in a god or higher power as I can understand completely the comfort of believing there is a place like heaven or I’ll see her and all my other loved ones again. But I don't believe that. I know that there is no more pain. She was loved deeply. She won't be forgotten. "All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return."

September 23rd @ 14:15

October 8th @ 4:34 \ Happy Thanksgiving!

October 27th @ 12:27 \ 32.

November 4th @ 15:50 \ Construction present as ever. Cannot be thankful enough for the side road.

December 12th @ 15:43 \ A few weeks left in what has been a tough year personally. Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.

December 24th @ 16:02 \ A very Merry Crimble to you! I’m currently crashing about tiny drone I received that likes to drift terribly while I attempt to get the thing off the floor.
