Plenty o'wine - with minimal whining (I hope). Who knows? Maybe a few bons mots on life's other pleasures (and pains) as well.

@CBCStephenQuinn Even if all he does is see you “read the news.”

[Bob Halifax 🍷 @2001bottles]

You know we’ll line up to buy a bottle if it makes its way to Vancouver!🍾🥂

Guess there are no Eurovision fans on @CBCEarlyEdition. With all the talk about the wolf on the loose, there wasn’t a single mention of giving that wolf a banana.

Looking forward to tonight’s tasting with #BCWAS. It’ll feature Masa Shiroki & his BC-made Artisan Sake as well as some recent Gold Medal wines. 🍶🍷 https://t.co/iugUZJd62c

So happy to see one of our local book stores ⁦@pfbvan⁩ (Pulp Fiction) on The Drive showcasing my neighbour, ⁦@marshalederman⁩’s, book in their front window. Can’t get much more in terms of local support than that! 📖

[Bob Halifax 🍷 @2001bottles]

Very glad to say that the wine did so much better than the cork did! No hint of taint whatsoever - still full of bold fruit & body. Phew! @lfngwine @BCWAS 🍷

[Bob Halifax 🍷 @2001bottles]

Not sure this bodes well. Odds on the contents still offering a great sip?🍷⁦@BCWAS⁩

Exciting news! Any guesses/predictions as whether Vancouver or Toronto will play home base for the group Canada will play in?

When’s the last time you saw a line up at a video shop? Maybe the time one had its closing day sale? Sorry to see the institution, @BlackDogVideo, close its doors.

Hanging at @VanMarkets & biggest treat was seeing a man with a prosthetic leg walking a dog with 3 legs. #LoveOurHood

Darn. I guess since I’d pre-ordered (& received) my copy before I saw the pasta offer, I can’t count on something to nosh on while I read away?

Oh God I'm so sorry - it's my 13-year-old, up early and trying to help market my book on its publication date. As you were.

[Bob Halifax 🍷 @2001bottles]

My sentiments, exactly.

[Bob Halifax 🍷 @2001bottles]

Received notice from @BCFerries that our reservation for a sailing this Thursday (before Easter weekend) is cancelled. Booked 2 months ago but NOTHING they can do to help - even when we’re travelling with a disabled person. More like, nothing they’re willing to do. #RuinedWeekend

Guess it’s time to get an answer to that age old question, “Will he still need me? Will he still feed me…?” 🎉🎂

Agreed. Here’s hoping it’s a favourable omen. On my way for a blueberry cinnamon bun for a good start.

@damien_ryan @Socceroos You know full well that I root with the Aussies whenever I get the chance!

I’d kinda hoped that The Drive would be alive with flags & honking in celebration of #CMNT qualifying for #WorldCup2022. No such luck. Guess the regulars are bummed out about Italy not making it. 🇨🇦⚽️
