Exactly what a bot would say. As if a real person would give a shit about what some Canadian guy decides to do. Good luck with your mission.

What the hell is happening with the traffic chaos in the South End of Halifax, #HaliSky?

Mine hit within a few hours and were done by about...well, about now, ~27 hr later.

Congratulations, Name Brother. That sort of tenure is rare these days. Good luck with what's next!

Some small ache-y feelings for me, nothing too bad.

At home. Why?

Pretty slick, too. A week or 10 days ago my province announced that flu and COVID shots were available. Went to the immunization web page, found the pharmacy nearest me that was offering them, booked a slot to get both during lunch yesterday, walked in and out within minutes. Smooth and simple.

Whatever, bot.

I'm a dick head for choosing to get my annual immunizations? Whatever, bot.

It's just very old slang that stuck around in the UK, where I lived for several years, so I use it without thinking. 🤷‍♂️

I've felt a little tired and shivery from these immunizations. I guess that used to happen with the COVID ones before anyway. Small price for the defense, though: I can still go about my day.

2 for 1: COVID and flu jabs, done.

...for the whole crowd at the back. Two big surprises: he played 3 acoustic songs at a tiny stage behind the sound board for all the fans at the back of the stadium, and he covered "Halifax Bound" by The Halifax Pier. He played about 2.5 hours.

...honored his mum and dad, the crowd participated with synchronized colored-LED wristbands, there was a flying inflatable boxing glove, and he sounded exactly like he always has. It was a singalong good time for the whole crowd. Two big surprises: he played 3 acoustic songs at a tiny stage...

Canada music night: saw Bryan Adams with the Sheepdogs last night in Halifax. It was an amazing show! The Sheepdogs brought their great southern-fried rock sound, and Bryan showed us why he's become a global pop-rock anthem legend. He played every hit, recorded us dancing, signed things for fans...

Visiting my parents' farm in Cumberland County. Started foggy, but when the sun came out it really highlighted the colourful leaves of the trees and blueberry plants.
