Wonderful swim at Shubie park this Am. not sure if the little layer above the water was smoke or fog as there is lots of smoke smell in Dartmouth
The sun and fog have arrived to start the day at Lower East Pubnico. Our last day at L’echange at the Congress Mondial Acadian de 2024
Caught the replay at Cineplex of the Met production of Carmen. Lots of music that dips into the familiar. The setting is modern, the Tex Mex border. Carmen is crushed with a baseball bat. How should a modern production treat domestic violence. Should Carmen still be staged?
Just finished reading Keven Major’s 4 for Fogo. I was previously unaware he is a great mystery writer. A bit unconventional, local but not too local in his narrative, and captivating between great NS storm shovelling
Fantastic presentation by @cbuniversity student Robbie Hussey! His work w/ @tim_fedak on history/provenance of Cape Breton fossils that went to the 1867 Paris Exhibition helps us better appreciate way ppl in past viewed our geoheritage & reminds us that we should value it today.
Misty sunrise on the Tidnish
@DalhousieU hey Dal! What’s this nifty thing emerging from the new addition between Forest and Burbridge. There is a series of these objects over the bike shelter. Looks like a giant dental polisher
At the Lupin Quilt fair in Port Elgin. The school gym walls are lined with amazing works of craft and art. Some representations of traditional work and many contemporary interpretations
The details on the Hollis Street Bank of Nova Scotia in Halifax, the head office before they moved to TO, are always interesting
@hfxgov @MikeSavageHFX I am on the Toronto Island Ferry. They have gone electric and removed the diesel engines. When will we do this in Halifax?
The next season is revealed at noon today
At SymphonyNs @SymphonyNS for the 1st of three sold out performances of The Piano men featuring Jim Witter and music of Elton John and Billy Joel. No tickets left for this but SNS starts selling next year’s season on April 19th at noon. Can’t beat the sound from a band of 40
Tonight @SymphonyNS will perform Mendelssohn's Elijah with a large chorus under the direction of Jeff Joudrey in his farewell as director of the SNS chorus. Here's a program from a previous Halifax performance 67 years ago featuring local soprano Sheila Piercey
A big screw up in appointments for blood collection at Bayers road. @nshealth but the guy managing the crowd and expectations is phenomenal. The system works well even when stuff happens
Privileged to have caught @NSYOrchestra at rehearsal this morning with Gary Ewer as they prepare for Orchestra in Motion with Halifax Circus on April 30 (Halifax)and May 6 (Truro) On a Saturday in March break … dedication, talent and enthusiasm ..I am in awe @SymphonyNS
Noticed this from 1981 today archives.catalogue.library.ns.ca/record/1333895. I wonder if their remedies are still relevant today?
