De bubble she burst.

So eleven days in the mid to high teens was not bad. Only up to about 8 today with cloud and light drizzle, in wind makes it cooler too.

Heat is good but the dust from the roads worries a lot of people, so the moister is a welcome respite from coughing up gray stuff and extracting same from the eyes, not to mention the cleaning of the house.

The National Aboriginal day do was moved from the ball field to the SportsPlex, going gang busters there with BBQ and speeches and events and music all day. My special ops is taking up more time than I’d like so won’t have time to drop in today, such is life.

Word has it that the Northern Ranger will be in Goose Bay for Sunday, it’s doing some sort of fund raiser trip up Lake Melville, no word yet as to when vessels will get up the coast.


There has been an ease up in sightings of black bear and moose, just some early spring. Now it’s the bird life that is getting lots of attention, some people only know the Inuktitut names for birds; some have not seen some of the ones that are hanging around at moment. I mentioned some in an earlier post, but there are several swallow hanging around between Okalakatiget building and the shore line. It looks like one of the swallows has a nest in the Ok building.
Some small hawks have been sighted but not ID’d them definitively yet.
I had a chickadee took a wrong turn into my greenhouse yesterday, got herself out with some gentle persuasion from me. Have chickadee, gray jay and even the warblers feeding at my now squirrel proof feeder [touch wood].
