A snippet of trivia that somehow typifies life here on the island – and some pretty images from some recent sunny days…
We are signed up to our local ‘Block Watch’. In the UK this would be the ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ – and you can make you own judgements as to whether it is better to keep an eye on the block – or the neighbours! I jest, of course…
Our local Councillor forwards items of interest from the equivalent of our local ‘Bobby’. Here is today’s message:
“Hi everyone,
Couple of items from overnight;
-
-
-
-
- A small dinghy was stolen sometime over the last month from the area of North Saanich Marina.
- A large cougar was reported in the Ardmore neighbourhood, last night.
-
-
-
Cheers”
Several points about this tickle my fancy… Obviously the typical small town mix of dingy theft and wild animal sightings speaks volumes about the place that we call home – but I particularly like the fact that the small dingy was stolen “sometime over the last month”! “Yeah – I meant to get round to reporting it!”.
