It has been raining in Halifax for two days. Fortunately, I have the Halifax Public Library on Spring Garden Road.
This week, I have been enjoying:
Marjorie Simmins’ “Coastal Lives: A memoir“. It describes her relationship with Silver Donald Cameron, and much more.
Herb Wyile’s, “Anne of Tim Hortons: Globalization and the Reshaping of Atlantic Canada Literature“.
Pico Ayer’s, “The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere“.
Today, after my visit with Dr. Morris, by draining the fluid in my inner ears, I have recovered my hearing. We celebrated with lunch at the Daily Grind, a coffee shop, near our condominium at Bishop’s Landing in Halifax.
Earlier in the week, we took a drive down to the Valley. We managed to arrange for a car service and to pick up our snow tyres.
En route, we stopped at Berwick, a progressive small town in Kings County, which may offer possibilities of condominium living at a lower cost than Halifax, although likely without the medical expertise found in Halifax.
Stopped to say ‘hi’ to Debby and Rocky Hebb. We did manage to go to the Endless Shores in Bridgetown. They had “Iceland: A Simple Saga” as told to Peter Wyman. After reading his previous books, I found this one, rather disappointing.
