It’s a celestial delight! From now until December 4th, you can see NASA’s International Space Station from the capital. It won’t just happen at any time, though. Peak viewing times are in the hours leading up to or following sunrise and sunset. At certain moments, the light of the sun will shine against the space station, […]
Happy Friday! How’s your week going? I usually start these off with a week of weather in review, but it’s simply getting too unpredictable! I’ve worn my parka more than once this week, so that’s saying something. Cool temperatures are ideal for my favourite thing these days: staying home!! Speaking of, here’s a few ideas […]
