Not All Canadians Are Obsessed With Hockey

January 13, 2023January 13, 2023 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 31 Comments

...Just saying. When I first moved in with The Doc, his sons, ages 6 and 8, played hockey. A lot of hockey. Enough hockey to literally take up one day or another of every winter and spring weekend of their lives. They were pretty good at it and eventually went on to play on select and … Continue reading Not All Canadians Are Obsessed With Hockey

The Proactive Bitch’s Guide to Storm Prep

September 23, 2022September 23, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 24 Comments

The Bitch is fully aware that she should have written and published this post yesterday, but yesterday, her and The Doc were engrossed in storm prep. Fiona is on the way. She is now knocking on our doors as the rain has begun. She will arrive in full force tonight. Why these storms prefer to … Continue reading The Proactive Bitch’s Guide to Storm Prep

Five Islands – The Ocean Floor And So Much More

September 17, 2022September 17, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 32 Comments

I have written before about Nova Scotia being the home of the highest tides in the world. In particular it is the Minas Basin, part of the Bay of Fundy, where the highest measurements were recorded. There are several places where you can experience a low tide by actually walking on the ocean floor. On … Continue reading Five Islands – The Ocean Floor And So Much More

George’s Island

August 24, 2022August 24, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 23 Comments

After seven months of waiting around for workmen to repair our downstairs, it was time to get out and do something different. Something different was a visit to George's Island in Halifax Harbour, The island is a National Historic Site now open to the public and assessable by a ferry that began during last year's … Continue reading George’s Island

Stella, Finn, Oscar and The Wind Spinner

July 28, 2022July 28, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 23 Comments

It all started with the wind spinner… No wait a minute, that’s not right. It all started with several piles of goose crap on the beach where we launch the kayaks. But if you want to go further back than that, it actually started when a small flock of beautiful, majestic, but very shitty Canadian … Continue reading Stella, Finn, Oscar and The Wind Spinner

Anticipation

July 13, 2022July 13, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 26 Comments

Outside is where I want to be this time of year. Especially after a long winter and sometimes damp spring when we are indoors for what seems like forever. My outdoor hobbies keep me busy and I am very happy to putt or paddle in the fresh air. One of my hobbies is gardening, which … Continue reading Anticipation

Goghing Beyond

June 24, 2022June 24, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 25 Comments

What a unique and mesmerizing experience. What a beautiful way to bring art to life. What a breathtaking way to explore the colours and textures of Vincent Van Gogh. I have been wanting to go to Beyond Van Gogh since I saw it advertised months ago, but we were, and still are, engrossed in the … Continue reading Goghing Beyond

Changing Plans

June 4, 2022June 4, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 27 Comments

It was after eight this morning when I crawled out of bed, glanced out the window and saw the lake. I don't know why I didn't feel like crawling back into bed like I had for most of this week. The desire to close my eyes once again and greet the morning slowly is normal … Continue reading Changing Plans

Just In Case You Wanted To know

February 22, 2022February 22, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 22 Comments

You may recall The Story of a Carpet, a Coupon and a Sloppy Canadian from a few weeks back; and you may, or may not, be interested in the outcome. If you are, read on: The sloppy Canadian was doing what she does well, which is spill things, drip liquids, knock things over and basically … Continue reading Just In Case You Wanted To know

STORIES That Stay

February 17, 2022February 17, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 19 Comments

There are stories, and then there are STORIES. The difference is that, although both can provide interest and entertainment, it is a STORY that will stay with me long after I finish reading it. STORIES like Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy Maud Montgomery, which I read when I was a kid; Sophie's Choice, by William Styron, … Continue reading STORIES That Stay

They Want To give Us Money

February 11, 2022February 11, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 16 Comments

Now there's six words I never thought I would be writing down or speaking out loud; but here I am and here they are: they want to give us money. They want our eyes to light up with dollar signs. They want us to jump at the chance to have cash in hand. Who you … Continue reading They Want To give Us Money

Vicarious Travel

February 4, 2022February 4, 2022 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 33 Comments

Travel is on my mind today. It is a day that freezing rain is in the forecast. A day that I am shut away in my office with two doors between me and the lower level. And a day that The Doc sits sans hearing aids to avoid all the noise. Since yesterday afternoon there … Continue reading Vicarious Travel

Odds and Sods and Future Plans

October 22, 2021October 22, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 19 Comments

This is not the blog I intended to write this week. I was thinking that I had been too nice and touristy for the past few weeks, and that I needed to change things up a bit. Perhaps be a little more myself. Perhaps cover a topic that allowed me to be a bit bitchy. … Continue reading Odds and Sods and Future Plans

Driving and Dining

October 14, 2021October 15, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 19 Comments

As part of our self-prescribed togetherness plan, The Doc and I have been taking road trips; and I, doing what I do, have taken a shitload of photos. So I thought I would share them with you and attach a few details. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, just consider this post to … Continue reading Driving and Dining

If I had to do it all over again…

June 4, 2021June 4, 2021 ~ Bitchy After 60 ~ 23 Comments

I don't know about you, but June makes me think of weddings, although I was actually married in August. And what I really end up thinking is: why do we bother. How many movies have we all seen about the craziness of weddings? Yes I know they are movies but the writing usually has actual … Continue reading If I had to do it all over again…
