Anybody else like autumn as their favourite season? Summers here in Nova Scotia are humid and awful, and the winters here are brutal (my sister and I had to un-bury my dad's van last year because we had snow piled up to the windows on the second floor of our house!) but autumn here in Canada?

Hey, everyone :)
Thank you for your letting me know who your favourite characters from 'Pause' are. It seems Aqueela wins with Jay and Grey both in second place, unsurprisingly. Third place is Max.

People often ask me who my... Read more of this blog post »

A few hours later, we were in The Ram’s Arsehole, which was some townie designer’s idea of a village pub: oak beams and overpriced lager. There was a banquette against the wall and three young women were all sitting on it cross-legged, chatting and drinking.

with my broken heart
Baby don't do this to me,

How do I forget

You told me a lie

So our grass is dead (except for the weeds, of course). Even the crepe myrtles, usually unstoppable, are looking a little bedraggled and tired.

“Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your many blessings, see what God has done.” When I sang that old hymn as a boy, I wondered what it could mean. After all, how can you count your blessings. There are so many. All you’d do is count all day long. But maybe that’s the point! If we...
