Busy day yesterday, errands, one being the purchase of a new TV stand, baking bread, assemblage of the TV stand, catering to Siutiks ever increasing fancies.

Siutik is starting to get back into some of her pre birth routine, the pups are starting to be rambunctious and more demanding and active so mom seeks out some refuge.

Knocked up a quick meal of medallions of pork loin with other stuff, will give souvlaki a try tonight with the left over loin.

Guess what was every bodies lips yesterday? Yep, the cold, and the fact we all have to adjust to it's sudden arrival.
Some more snow on the ground would help with these -24 to -31 wind chills.

It is increasingly obvious that social media [facebook and to lesser extent Twitter] is becoming the de facto form of democratic government here.

Not as in your face as on the Island [VOCM and letters to editors of the on line outlets and comments to stories] and other southern cities. In a small way people are starting to discuss issues that concern everyone.

Of course the elected officials dont react to the discussion, Nunatsiavut Government has a 'no response policy' it seems, for sure they have a 'no social media' policy.

At their own peril they ignore the voice of the people.
