Mona Navaei Roshandel's MFA exhibition

 We attended the closing reception for Mona's MFA exhibition at the Fifth Parallel. I had been expected all photos, but there was more video and installation. Well designed. Nice event. 

Fly

 Fly has taken ownership of the swatter. 

Apple sauce

I made one large pot of apple sauce today. It simmered down to about a half pot of sauce which then filled nine medium jars. Apples this year didn't require any extra sweetening.

 Steve and Gerri Ann came over for a drink this evening. Sat on deck. 

Screen Sask interview

 After a couple weeks of back and forth emails, I finally connected with Blues today to shoot an interview for the Screen Sask social media. Blues is a student intern over there for the summer with his term ending in a few days. I'll post a link once they have something online. 

Fish as artist

 My catfish has re-created his gallery, having moved it from one spot in the fishtank to another. It loves moving the suction cups around but now is somehow putting a white stone on display on top of the suction cup, as if it were a sculpture on a plinth.

Riffa panel and backyard fire

I moderated the RIFFA panel of Saskatchewan Filmmakers today. It went better than I feared. I kept things going and made sure everyone had a chance to talk. I tried to get them to converse with each other, which happened a few times. Later we lit a fire in the back yard and had a few people over. Emma, Geremy, Kevin, Rebekah, Robert, Dani, Paul, and a couple others I think. Fewer pictures than usual, so relying on 10 day old memory. William had wanted a firs on his birthday but too many people couldn't make it, so we postponed until today. 
 

RIFFA and apple picking

Picked apples off the Motherwell tree today. Probably left a third of them due to hight and lack of a tall enough ladder, but have more than we likely need. Dropped some off at Lori's. Later I attended a screening of Saskatchewan films at RIFFA this evening. Probably what stood out the most was a dance film called Rover by Tessa Leier from Saskatoon.
