Today, 17 November, is #InternationalStudentsDay. Today the day is a celebration of students and student life. Originally the day was founded following the murder of Czech student leaders at the University of Prague by the Nazis in 1939 following demonstrations against Nazi occupation. #WeRemember

Many in my extended family served in either WW1 or WW2, including my father, but on Remembrance Day I particularly remember my Uncle Ken, terribly wounded on August 1 1944, and Leslie’s Uncle Charlie, my cousin Frank Paulley, and Bernice’s brother Don who did not come home. #LestWeForget

Many thanks to Ian Tetley and his staff at Oakville Curling for hosting the Stu Sells Oakville Tankard this weekend. While Team Lovitt didn’t qualify for playoffs we had a terrific first event of the season. Best wishes to all of the remaining teams still in the hunt!

In Spring 2025, two experiments were conducted at Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon, Canada by the University of Saskatchewan to evaluate the different effects of knife versus standard brushing on curling ice, and of rigid black foam versus softer white foam. The results of the research have now been published and can be found here. … Continued

Just received this ONOTO Scholar fountain pen from Cult Pens in the UK. Navy with gold accents, its fine nib writes smoothly and beautifully. A new favourite.

We are far more likely to use our hands to type or swipe than pick up a pen. But in the process we are in danger of losing cognitive skills, sensory experience – and a connection to history

Just received this lovely Leonardo Momento Magico fountain pen from @laywines.bsky.social in Toronto. Piston filler, inked with Diamine Majestic Blue, my favourite ink. Writes beautifully. The size fits my hand well and I love the ink window on the barrel. Beautiful pen.

Metrolinx should take down their signs promising forthcoming new stations (Grimsby) and better service to Kitchener. It isn’t happening anytime soon. Clearly. @waterloompp.bsky.social
absolutely brutal reporting from @jackhauen.bsky.social about the collapse in ambition of GO rail expansion happening under this government www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri...
How Metrolinx’s plan to deliver European-style train service went off the rails
GO Expansion will still transform Greater Golden Horseshoe transit — but likely won’t be as ambitious as what was planned just three years ago

What began with 55 push-ups from The Curling Group’s CEO (and a $1 donation for every rep) has ignited a global curling challenge in support of charity.
Now, the world’s top curlers are dropping down and stepping up — one push-up at a time. 💪

Newly acquired, this Kyoto Elegance Yamanaka fountain pen from Celsius, and sold by Komorebi Stationery. Comes with a Schmidt Iridium fine nib, which interestingly writes much smoother than some of my other pens with Iridium nibs. Beautiful pen and I appreciate the heft of the metal body.
