Whirlwinds of snow out there. There's now half a meter of snow on the deck, just from this morning.
Redpolls finding shelter under a bench behind a snowdrift. Few seeds for them: it's too windy, the seeds just blow away or get buried in the snow.

#Canada - How a #ScarboroughOntario couple is building community, one repair at a time
by Jessica Patterson
Published March 28, 2025
"Once a month, volunteers gather in a Scarborough, Ont., community centre to fix broken appliances, bicycles, housewares and computers and mend torn clothing – all for free. The Mid-Scarborough Hub Repair Café was launched 18 months ago by Krissan Veerasingam and Fizza Khalid, a couple on a mission to make Scarborough a kinder, greener place.
They both have day jobs – Mr. Veerasingam is a software developer, Ms. Khalid is a health and safety adviser – but volunteering is a big part of their lives. They founded the Scarborough Environmental Association (SEA), a non-profit organization that hosts events like pollinator plant giveaways, clothing swaps, sewing workshops and park clean-ups. The Repair Café is a key SEA initiative, focused on supporting low-income and historically disenfranchised communities. (Repair Cafés originated in Amsterdam in 2009 and there are now more than 3500 of them around the world.)"

Biking To Work Cuts Your Risk Of Death In Half
Yeah ok, so I'm a old fart, and a Sci-Fi fan, who engages in a little day to day cosplay..... You're can tell by my profile picture
Last night, an amazing, creative, generous young friend of mine, surprised me after the show, to hang this around my neck.
Tom Baker is MY first Doctor.
I've wanted this scarf, all my life.
I might very well be wearing it, over my pj's, as I compose this post.
