Katherine in town


 Everyone out to the farm as soon as breakfast passes the gullet, so we got only a brief visit with Katherine this morning.

Homework even heavier


 Strange that even though William has far less school pressure this  year (having completed his exhibition) and that he spent a lot of time preparing for his courses and assignments over the summer, and has one fewer classes, he is still drowning under the weight of beginning of term assignments. Kicked around with him until 2 am, on a Saturday night, while he completed just one of his proposals due this week. Included Leesa as one of the artists who has inspired him.

Leesa Streifler in Moose Jaw



Great opening at Moose Jaw Art Gallery with career retrospective of Leesa's art. Icing on the cake was that William had a chance to talk to Robyn about a future collaboration.

Delicious food



 Last night Kevin got an extra box of blueberries, very ripe and needing immediate use, so gave them to us. Margaret made three pies today. William and were driving home from University. Got message from Margaret to take these out of the oven (thankfully not burned) as she had to leave them and go to work. Also in car, a DJ says that he will put chocolate chips in his pancakes but he "draws the line at bacon" - telling us this because it is national pancake day. Of course we made bacon pancakes. De-lish.

Busy day of everything but work

Watching season 1, episode 8 of Loudermilk and a hobo character in the show pulls out a phone and tells Siri to phone the police. Suddenly my phone activates and tells me that it will be calling the police in three seconds. Fortunately there was a cancel button. When I tried to tell Margaret about it, I almost re-triggered the same event. 
Went to foot clinic today. Confirms arthritis in my feet. Health troubles are expected but also endless. 
Painted after the food doctor. Knowing I'd be late, I'd painted the background last night.

macro lens


 Tested out using a Mamiya macro lens to re-photography 35mm movie film frames today and the results were magnificent. I hadn't really set up to properly guide or register the film but the focus and exposure where solid.
