A big screw up in appointments for blood collection at Bayers road. Health & Wellness but the guy managing the crowd and expectations is phenomenal. The system works well even when stuff happens

Tonight Symphony Nova Scotia will perform Mendelssohn's Elijah with a large chorus under the direction of Jeff Joudrey in his farewell as director of the SNS chorus. Here's a program from a previous Halifax performance 67 years ago featuring local soprano Sheila Piercey

The details on the Hollis Street Bank of Nova Scotia in Halifax, the head office before they moved to TO, are always interesting

At the Lupin Quilt fair in Port Elgin. The school gym walls are lined with amazing works of craft and art. Some representations of traditional work and many contemporary interpretations

Dalhousie University⁩ hey Dal! What’s this nifty thing emerging from the new addition between Forest and Burbridge. There is a series of these objects over the bike shelter. Looks like a giant dental polisher

Just finished reading Keven Major’s 4 for Fogo. I was previously unaware he is a great mystery writer. A bit unconventional, local but not too local in his narrative, and captivating between great NS storm shovelling

Caught the replay at Cineplex of the Met production of Carmen. Lots of music that dips into the familiar. The setting is modern, the Tex Mex border. Carmen is crushed with a baseball bat. How should a modern production treat domestic violence. Should Carmen still be staged?
