Comment on I'm getting ready for summer days, but it's still cold here.

  Hopefully today the Weather Network ain’t lying…

  And come visit! It’s great here. I grew up on the northern coast of NFLD often called Iceberg Alley. We had tons of icebergs following the current down from the arctic. Humpback whales follow the bergs too so you often get to see both at the same time. I used to go kayaking with the whales whenever they’d show up. Insanely peaceful. I think the first 15 seconds were pure terror and after that it was just awe inspiring. Gentle giants is accurate.

    My coworker pal is from there and she says if random local people invite you for dinner or tea, you should just go, because they’re that hospitable. I think that’s amazing. I will visit someday!

      Honestly, yes. We’re a strange folk. That’s not as common in the city though. Like almost non-existent. But outside in the smaller towns? 100%. I’d highly recommend watching the play ‘Come From Away’. AppleTV+ did a taping of it. It uses Newfie music styles to talk about all the planes that landed in Gander during 9/11. The focus is on the people, not the events of 9/11. People in a new land going “What the fuck are these people saying”. It’s a joyous romp.

        East Coast music in general is awesome; have you heard of Cassie and Maggie? My favourite Christmas music ever. I will watch the play for sure!
