The Last Friday of June - Skywatch Friday

A lot of people were relaxing in these tents. |

I've just noticed the wolf ? or maybe it's a coyote? on the banners. |

There's some filming going on inside one of the restaurants near the bright lights. |
There's always something interesting to look at when you look up.

May 29, 2025 - Skywatch Friday
Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
Happy weekend ahead to you all.
Today I'm sharing photos from a recent walk to a small local park. I was able to capture the sun going down.
It was a beautiful evening. The next day it rained heavily.
Thanks for visiting my Skywatch Friday post.

A Bit of Hygge
Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
Some of you will have read my story here about the lost and found item I picked up late Saturday night. I tried to go to the local police station on Sunday but it was closed by the time I arrived. I went again on Monday and thankfully made it before closing. I left the wallet with an explanation of where I found it and my name. Now it's in the hands of the police and hopefully the person who lost it will find their way to the police station or maybe the police will somehow locate him/her. I don't even know if the person is a male or female because I'm not familiar with the names.
I got a long-ish walk in over the span of several days going on errands and going to and from the police station over 2 different days.
I spent some time caring for my plants, watering them, removing dead leaves and transplanting one of them into a larger pot. I also purchased a new plant. I think it's called a Kangaroo Fern but I'm not 100 percent certain since I've never seen one before. All of these plants were purchased on clearance over the past month or so and were in rough shape when I bought them. I'm trying to bring them back to life but they need more sunshine. I'd like to take them out to the patio but need to wait until the workers are gone.

I'm going to buy another hanging basket for the new plant on the left in the photo above. I can also see that the aloe vera needs dividing as it's gotten too big for the pot it's in.

Monday Starts the Week Again
This past Monday was demolition day at the condo. This was the beginning of it. The walls and ceiling were cut away later. The end result is that the water seems to have dried well enough and there is no mold growing. So that's great news!
Now they have to fix everything and I'm keen to make sure the end product doesn't look like a patchwork quilt. I can't wait until everything is nicely painted, carpets are washed and everything is generally fresh again. I'm hoping to immediately reduce more items before I completely return things to the bedroom. It might be a bit difficult but it must be done.
The workers arrived at 9:30 a.m and left at 5:30 p.m. I felt quite tired so I went out for a bite to eat and a bit of grocery shopping instead of cooking. I didn't make it to the community garden but I must get there very soon.
While I wait for the bedroom renovations to begin, I'll be purging in other areas of the condo. I made good progress on Sunday by cleaning the bookshelves and getting rid of a lot of magazines, expired Covid tests and various bits and pieces.

A Neighbourhood Walkabout
Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
I hope you are enjoying your Saturday so far.
Today it got warm enough to wear sleeveless tops, sandals and shorts if you so desired. I don't wear shorts anymore and I usually wear a very light long sleeved top over a sleeveless one. But I saw plenty of people dressed for very hot weather today.
I've been trying to get out for a walk and errands as often as I can but it was actually very cold and rainy for about a week. As a result I developed a bit of a head cold but I didn't remain in bed. In fact, I probably needed more sleep and rest than I did get but I'm working on it.
These photos were taken when the weather was still cold and rainy earlier in the week.

Does anyone know what flower this is? |
