  #3GoodThings Had a comfort meal from childhood - beans (beans in molasses, in a tin, made in Canada) and brown bread. Sometimes you just need it. Weekend, Caturday, planning some muffin baking (inspired by Mastodon posts today) John Coltrane. Hard to choose an example, but found this (1963) for its ability to make you feel the feels. There's pain, loss, chaos, anger, hurt, sadness, strength, life... https://youtu.be/d108znBickM

  It has been such an uncharacteristically busy 7 days. Back to normal levels tomorrow. #3GoodThings Short films. Long novels and short films. Canada🇨🇦 I survived a trip to the dentist today. The tools they have these days are amazing. Would be interesting to be able to watch what's going on.

  #3GoodThings Walking in Autumn weather! Brilliant sun. Nice breeze. Beautiful leaves in all the colours. Just enough chill in the temperature to keep it comfortable. Brisk. Everything seems to be sparkling. Neighbours get chatty too. Nice chat with the not-weirdo neighbour. Post flu-shot ice cream. No vax side effects, but why waste an I-deserve-a-treat opportunity. 💉

  #3GoodThings Flu shotted Treats bought (see previous good thing) It only took 2 days after the holiday Monday to orient myself to the correct day of the week without having to think - Tuesday is Monday, so today is Wednesday.

  #3GoodThings Mobbed by 6-8 crows today, in a good way. They've been absent for about a week, just a couple around. Glad to see them back. They were glad to see peanuts. Audiobooks with really good narrators. Looking forward to baking lemon brownies and apple crumble tomorrow. Anticipation.

  #3GoodThings Pleased with myself that I remembered that Thanksgiving is one week away, rather than "Whatya mean Monday's a holiday!!!?".😲 Found 2 paper $ bills buried deep in my wallet, a $5 and a $10. We haven't had paper bills since 2011. Don't know if I should use them or not. I haven't looked in the recesses of my wallet in 15 years! :eyeroll: 😆 Miso soup on a rainy day. 🥣

  #3GoodThings Gentle rain at bedtime is very nice. In the morning it makes it hard to get out of bed, bit of a dilemma. 💤 Women's reaction to the Cornell Rape Club. Solidarity. Gov Kathy Hochul & AG Letitia James. And the #IAmJaneDoe action. Morning walks. Specially the ones that come with spectacular sunrises over the mists hanging in the low areas.

  #3GoodThings Recently discovered Lucy Darling. She is very funny. On utube. The audiences are fun participants. We need funny these days. Not being too hot and humid to get anything done. Bless autumn! and its cozy evenings. Music. Because it's magic. Going broad here, because there's something for everyone's soul that can just stop you in your tracks. From a century ago, 60 years ago, yesterday. (Just happen to be listening to Delibes' Lakme Flower Duet after a smidge of San...

  #3GoodThings Jack Smith. He's not ours, but y'all (US) should be proud of him. Crows. Crows. Crows. Deer. Squirrels. October, even better. Thanksgiving. Colourful leaves. Hallowe'en. Perfect temperatures. Harvest time. Apples. Pumpkin.

  #3GoodThings - better do this early before I fall asleep Found a 50 cent Euro the other day. Thought I'd dropped a loonie, same colour, but the euro piece is a little smaller. Espana. Fun seeing cash from different countries. Everyone using cards takes all the fun out of it. Rainy days that don't start being rainy until you get your morning walk done. Switching to fall clothes and discovering you really like them. I'm shorts and $10 sneakers all summer but go grown up for fall/win...

  #3GoodThings Reading Cher's Cher, a memoir. It's quite good, only 200 pages in. Celebrity memoirs can go either way. 23°C with no stinking humidity. 🥳 Finding all the bits for knitting the snowflake socks. Yarn. Pattern. Although... cannot find notes. How do I not have notes!? Have decided on snowflake sock #2 as the next project.

  #3GoodThings Apple Crumble, 'tis the season. Yum! An extended high pressure area in the autumn. Digging out the cooler weather clothes, discovering forgotten gems.

  #3GoodThings This might be getting repetitious, but flannel sheets❤️. Will start to take them for granted soon, but the first couple of days are soooo snuggly. Roasted veggies. Yum! A little olive oil (fibbing, a lot of olive oil), S & P, oregano, and thyme. So easy. Morning light, sunrise, with the long shadows and sun sparkling off the dew on the grass and leaves.

  #3GoodThings The Muppet Treasure Island. Delightfully silly in a good way. Very quotable. Tim Curry was a dastardly pirate in the best way. Caturday. Weekends, because Sunday morning is pancake brunch day, looking forward to pancakes and all the fixings.

  #3GoodThings The Muppets, tonight The Muppet Treasure Island. Robert Louis Stevenson, never in his wildest imagination...😆 Lemon Brownies. Day at Home clothes so comfortable that I had to look at what I was wearing to know if I was in my pjs. Must remember for next Day at Home.

  #3GoodThings Checking most of the things off the list today. Couple of minor items left that can wait. Crow convention in the tree outside the kitchen window. At least 20 crows. Much enthusiastic debate going on. Looked like there might have been fisticuffs except for some skillful aerobatics. Would love, love, love to be able to translate crow. :crow_heart: Haddock. Ate it twice today. Yum!

  #3GoodThings Fall is coming, I keep telling myself. Today, humidex 29°C. Just a little reminder of why I'm looking forward to Fall so much. PM Mark Carney is knocking it out of the park on the international stage. Saving Canada's economy and sovereignty. And supporting Ukraine and President Zelenskiy. Ontario pears are sooo good this year.
