30mm of rain tonight! I’ll have to see if we set a record at the airport, who likely got more than my station. I can’t imagine it isn’t a record for a July 11! Certainly the most for many years!
Late movie time.
Star Trek Insurrection.
Haven’t seen it for ages.
Saw a clip about #genocide on YouTube from it… seemed like a good watch.
A better time for American storytelling….

Just the timing of all this new reporting on the booze ban. Seems a bit sus. 🤔
Bridge opens what, on the 27th?
Feels like they’re warming us up.
@chris Really hoping Canadians continue the boycott even if provinces relent or are forced by trade measures.
you may feel bad about ignoring that one thing in your life right now that really needs doing
but just remember that there may be someone out there that's sitting on a chair with one wheel that looks like this and is posting about it on fedi instead of fixing it :dragon_uwu:
achievement unlocked!
just before I got stuck on the curb, I put the trailer back around in the back!
Managed to move and level enough of the dirt to make a spot for the trailer!
Perfect little spot :)
i was just reminded that the city water is..... not warm... 😂 🥶
gonna dip anyway!?
it's nearing full, full enough for both pumps to be operating well, but family members are having a shower so filling has been halted until they're done.
The poor banana plant in the back corner got a little dry in the feet 😆 😬. Hopefully it's ok. The first plants in the pond always have the toughest job.
The others are looking ok. Marsh marigold is maybe a little too exposed. I will move it to be more under the hazelnut tree. The bug eating plant is not enjoying life. It might perish. Will do my best to nurse it back to life.

I'd like to think the boycott had some influence on the situation of the senior senator from Kentucky.
@chris The market is gone… for a long time.
I had good Canadian beer on my birthday (someone else brought, so I don’t remember the name)
Cheers!
there. watering+fill
oopsie doodles!
Came outside to do some dirt moving only to find the #poolpond intake bay very nearly empty!
I have not been topping up the water since I filled it about 9 days ago? It has been cooler but windy and the last little bit of rain we got was a few days ago.
It must have just got below the level of the intake bay in the past hour or two as it was on its way to emptying. Luckily i caught it in time.
Water is being added now. I am also going to use the twirly sprinkler to water the flower and blueberry garden and it will also add to the pond at the same time in a nice aerated way.
Adding from the hose is not ideal as all that chlorine goes in at the same time
Anyways, crisis averted and information gained. It is already coming back up nicely.
hopefully it is full in time to have a dip after dirt moving!

“At press time, Canadian booze still tastes great.”
Spanish too! The selection of Spanish wines in my local government liquor store has increased notably! 😀 🍷

Canadian government wasting dollars advertising on all the sports channels about how this country is leading in renewable energy - which actually shows nuclear plants (nerp, dangerous, expensive and def not renewable) - while proposing 3 new massive tax payer funded bitumen pipelines, along with all the LNG shit in BC
It's pure gaslighting (pun intended) and actually breaks CRTC advertising rules
