I’m working hard to stay patient, same as always this time of year. The most colourful part of the fall season is behind us, and it’s not quite properly cold enough for snow and snow related activities. November is, or has been, my boredom season!
Boredom season? That’s quite a childish approach to an entire month, but I’ll own it – years of teaching mostly Junior High and elementary school means childish is often my comfort zone. Still, this November I’m trying something different, and going for a glass half full (or more) month – it won’t be empty, not this time…
Getting out and about in the city, we’re aiming to fill the month with music, coffee, hockey, and some new beer haunts. We’ve already been to see a friend’s band, Magnolia Buckskin, play, and an added bonus was a new to me performer, Rory Makem, on the same bill. Both recommended if you get the chance to catch them live.
Getting along to watch some junior hockey is always a fun afternoon or evening, and our first Calgary Hitmen game in years was a good ‘un, with a fine home win!
Since the last time we lived here, it appears umpteen – possibly more – new microbreweries have started up, with at least three within walking distance of us. More to follow on those!
So perhaps November won’t be quite the empty month I sometimes think it is, and maybe I won’t have an empty head. I’ll go steady on the new beers though – wouldn’t want a sore head…
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I can relate – childish is also my comfort zone! November has to be the most boring month of the year. I am counting the days until Advent 1st, a big happening in my neck of the woods.

I’m glad it’s not just me thinks this about November – here’s hoping for an early huge snowfall n the nearby mountains to get the winter season off to a sooner start!

Three micro breweries within walking distance? Now, that sounds enticing. A fun way to get some steps up and kerb that boredom lol. Here, where I am, it’s getting hotter every day. Hope you have a great month ahead Adam. Cheers!

Heating up there? Pub time!
Enjoy stepping into summer! 🍻

I think you’re now going to have to put November as a favorite with all that fabulous coffee, music, hockey and plenty of beer! It’s been snowing all day here and I’ll take coffee, music and hockey over the snow. Enjoy the week!🙂

I’m glad it’s snowing somewhere! Cooling off here, but no real snow so far. Beer and hockey it is (plus the totally unexpected Everton win – five goals, even if three were chalked off! Two of my brothers were at the game, good result for them!)
I hope your week is going well!

A wonderful array of favorite activities here, pc, to get you through November. I really like the photo on the walking bridge. And it is fun to see a Canadian hockey game. Cheers to you!

We’re (I’m) getting through it! We were on the bridge again yesterday, five minutes walk from home, so Scout (I) could go play in the park in the scant snow! Displacement activity from finishing the painting…
