These cats all live in this duplex; they spend a lot of time pretending not to see each other.

Granville Island, February 28: lanterns, ripples, reflections in water, duck.

Signs of spring: magnolias, cherry blossoms, hyacinths, tulips, and daffodils.

Cats of the daily walk: tabby, tuxie, and fluffy tuxie.

Moonrises of the daily walk, February 28-March 2 (reverse order).

There might be a few photos today (posting them is, I think, a constructive form of procrastination).

Read this as you wish.

I've seen sunset skies such as this in Vancouver; if Saharan dust gets all the way over here I'm impressed and horrified all at once.

It is an utterly stunning story, subtle yet precisely and vividly observed, so moving, and ultimately devastating. I love introducing it to students.

I will look for this! I do love Collins and this is clearly a lovely edition.

The Moonstone - Flame Tree Publishing Gorgeous Dark Collectable Classic. A thrilling tale, from the original master of detective fiction Wilkie Collins, that twists between death, drugs, m

Coming soon to a fine bookshop near you: The Moonstone, in the pretty 'collectible classics' series from Flame Tree Publishing, introduction by me.

Needless to say, this speaks to me. 🖤 🧛‍♀️ 🐈‍⬛

She is keeping all the puzzle pieces safe. 🥰

Fred has chosen the wisest course: focus on what is good in life, such as naps. 🥰

Somehow, revising the vampire novel doesn't seem like an urgent or necessary thing to do.

It's not even spring yet.

Even if it is the former, I'm sure she'd want treats as a reward for coming up with such a good question. 😊

Yes, it's that old belt-tightening rhetoric that never seems to apply to those who have a lot to begin with.

I have a friend who does cultural-studies work in a lab that digitizes a lot of old pre-digital material and has promised to show me the lab and the processes if I visit her (probably after I retire). As someone who still has cassette music and vhs films, this is enormously appealing.

Halifax friends posted a summary of the budget cuts on FB; they couldn't post a link to the news site listing all. I managed to find it and it's horrifying: 13 pages of drastic cuts to sectors that desperately need funding, including arts/culture, education, social services. I can't retire there.

Big white clouds, golden hour, skyline.

Sunset clouds, Cambie Bridge, rush hour, mountains.

White tree blossoms.

Purple and white variegated crocuses with orange centres.

Sunset clouds, tree blossoms, crocuses.

I love teaching 1st-year but never took it: when I registered at MSVU in 1976, I declared an English Major and was told I didn't need it, but I did have to take Shakespeare and the Drama of his Time, a second-year course; I also signed up for Contemporary Literature (these were 6-credit courses)

I love this one so much. 🖤

Thank you for highlighting a band in Vancouver!

Then yours is abstract not realist in effect.

Dinner and a movie roundup.

Rainbow.

I found out via a post on FB from a friend in Seattle. Needless to say, I'd been sound asleep.
