Passed by the docks at Banfield Park on my bike ride this afternoon. A beautiful sunny day, about 21C, early in the season to be swimming in the Gorge.

An extensive dock structure for sunbathing & swimming at Banfield Park in the Gorge in Victoria, BC

And, with credible estimates of over 12 million at #NoKings protests yesterday, the @timescolonist.bsky.social says "thousands protest". Predictable. I wonder if there will be any follow up articles in the TC? #cdnmedia #yyj

It was so great to see FernFest packed with people today. Got to enjoy perusing the market stalls and listening to some great music. It really was bigger and better than ever!

Just a small anti-fascist demo in Victoria, but 11 million + globally - mostly in the US. A historic day, and hopefully a turning point towards a better future. bsky.app/profile/altn... #NoTyrants #NoKings #yyj #elbowsup

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

My wife grew some white alpine strawberries. I had never even heard of them before. They are actually quite delicious.

Caught Jane Austen Wrecked My Life at the yesterday! Sweet and subtle, definitely recommend this one!

The poster for the movie - the main character sits on a windowsill reading as papers fly around her. Two llamas look in the window.

Just a small energetic crowd by the Legislature in Victoria, but the global total could be as high as 10 million people protesting against the fascist Trump regime. Good to be part of a big day for democracy and decency everywhere. bsky.app/profile/altn... #yyj #NoTyrants #NoKings

Okay. Please tell me more. Anyone got the details on this new place on Johnson at Vancouver?

Victoria has a ‘Scream-Like-A-Gull Contest,’ and this #CHEKnews clip of local bird-watchers giving it their all is the funniest thing I’ve watched in a long time: ‘Screaming like a gull is going to be the thing to do, and the place to be.’

Should I be more upbeat about this? There is a reason I'm not a concert promoter. It will be HUGE and WONDERFUL . . maybe. #yyj

The season closer at St. Luke’s was such a fun farce! Well done, all!

Our current #information handouts for the public. All have been updated for this year.
I'm putting some into my little free library on Kamloops Ave(only LFL on the street). I helped with the Welland Community Orchard map/brochure.

More helping hands are always welcome! Come & help us out with local food security efforts, if you live in Victoria/Saanich/Esquimalt & surrounding areas! There's several different projects to choose from:

Still going nowhere in #Langford on the 95 'Rapid Bus'. Because local, provincial and federal politicians wasted our money on highway expansion boondoggles instead of bus lanes. #yyj #bcpoli
