@DeondreSmiles @K_elly_B Ok you guys are hilarious! 🤣 Given that I drink coffee about 4 times every day, this should not be so difficult! Maybe a special backroom tour of Point Ellice house would be a great way for us to all get together soon!

@qmackie nice interview, thanks for sharing!

[bthom @bthom]

@K_elly_B I was there too and witnessed the same thing. Happened yesterday too. The herons are like "meh" but still, the lagoon at Cordova Bay is a pretty special place.

@K_elly_B you probably didn't know that I was ghost writer for the Indigenous-focused sections of the Islands book (sunsets cover, lower shelf on the right) many years ago?! Cool to see you collection making a new home here. Welcome to Saanich, neighbour, we should get together sometime!
