On Hiatus

It’s occurred to me I should update this blog to note that I am on hiatus until September. Instead of blogging, here’s what I’ll be up to:

  1. Visiting family in the Okanagan (mid-July)
  2. WWOOFing in the Okanagan (til start of August)
  3. WWOOFing near Squamish (til late August)
  4. Parents visit me in Vancouver (late August)
  5. Road trip back to Winnipeg with my parents, resume blogging (early September)
