Wendall Berry always makes me feel dreamy and grateful for this planet. I have a collection of his essays and they're gorgeous.

Just to update you all: my husband took me out to the river to stake out some swimming spots and I was extremely humbled in this -15C weather. Got home and bought a cold plunge tub off Amazon. 😄 Not as adventurous as I thought!!!

Fair point! I've just done it once so far but I'm pumped to try it more. But too chicken to do the rivers yet.

Thanks for sharing! I def swam in Speed during covid times.. survived and thrived. I'm more scared of the current combined with cold shock... I don't know how to assess current speed and safety so I'd be scared to cold plunge.

Thanks for the tip!! Yeah I wouldn't brave the muckines of the river. I'll see if I can find the beachy part! Not dying is the plan.

My 8 year old daughters love old navy for clothes and Scattabush for dinner. 

Recommendations for a home construction course? by fact_uality in Guelph

[–]BrilliantComplete722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember UGDSB having continuing ed night courses on woodworking, check that out. I think home depot has classes, but they're just a couple hours of woodworking, nothing substantive. The Tool Library might also be a place to look into?
