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.)"

The Globe and Mail · How a Scarborough couple is building community, one repair at a timeBy Jessica Patterson

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.

Spiral galaxy NGC 7331, also known as the Caldwell 30, is pretty similar to our Milky Way in terms of mass, size and shape. Located in the constellation Pegasus, Caldwell 30 is about 45 million lightyears away from us. The galaxy got the nickname Caldwell 30 because it is a member of the group of 86 objects catalogued by astronomer Sir Patrick Moore. He named the objects the Caldwell Objects because his full surname is actually Caldwell-Moore.
