Bike Ride: Mar. 8/21

.

Apart from riding to my crossing corner almost every day this winter, this was my first bike ride of the 2021 season in which I hope to fill in on my map the streets I missed in 2020.

Here we see that the bike lanes aren't quite available yet, but apart from that it was a nice little ride in the neighbourhood.

Pioneer Camp Coffee House: Fri. Feb. 5/21

.

Via Zoom I participated in the annual Pioneer Camp Manitoba Winter Coffee House. The theme for the evening was "boats" and so my contribution was a sort of sea shanty: Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirate Chorus", previously recorded for the Cheer's Open Mic Gang Quarantunes.

This video was shared this evening, too. Lots of fun, a bit sad at the end:
