There’s news, and then there’s news. While the PM was in the broom closet, and the lad from Souris West picked up a shot in the leg, the Island version of Assembly announced that they’re “moving next door” while the renos take place. Only for thirty to sixty months, though.

Had an early coffee and bagel, but the energy level never rose high enough to trigger anything interesting for the remainder of the day. Let’s put it down to End of Vacation.

The final action of vacation: unpacking. I’ve decided to stretch the “pleasure” out over a couple of days. Just because.
