After spending most weekends on Galiano, we had a weekend in the city (sort of) that we made the most of. Friday night I hung out with my friend Dave at the breweries in Port Moody. Saturday was all Vancouver as we started the day at the Khatsailano Street Festival, followed by a wander looking for a place to watch the England game, a stop at a beach volleyball tournament and then Symphony at Sunset. Sunday we headed up to Squamish to do a hike on the Sea to Sky Gondola, followed by hanging out with our friends Nicole and Anthony. I’m tired just thinking about it all!
Read MoreRoof Garden Update and First Day out at the Nat!
I am finally caught up (mostly) and this one will be fairly quick. I thought I share some pictures of the roof deck, a really funny (short) story and a quick post on our first trip to the Nat for the summer to see the Vancouver Canadians play baseball! Summer is finally here!
Read MoreMy Birthday Night Out
As my birthday was on a Wednesday, our celebration was a little bit low key. Justine had found a very fun looking event on the Friday night, “Eat the Invaders”! It was a really interesting approach to exploring the local food scene, and we had an amazing night out!
Read More2026 Roof Opening!
Another short, interim post. The weather has been so spectacular that we managed to get the roof fully opened this weekend! This is one of the earliest that I can remember in a long time.

Read MoreA Short Post - Spring Flowers
This is just a short post to share some spring flowers (and a bird or two) on a walk earlier this week. I have a bigger post to share on the trip to the island last week, but that might take a bit of time to get up. Happy spring!
Read MoreA New Addition to the Roof
In the middle of trying to get our place put back together with the renovation, I found a great deal on a small Yardistry greenhouse that looked like it would be a perfect size for the roof! I couldn’t pass it up (free shipping too) and so we had another project to tackle at the all wrong time of the year.
Read MoreA Long Overdue Renovation Post
This post really belongs more in 2025 than 2026, but let’s just say it’s both taken longer to complete the project and longer to write this post than it really should have. The overview is that we had heat pumps installed in our townhouse back in late October.
