My little Pastoral Assistant promoted herself to Junior Minister halfway through the Prayer of Adoration and Confession. Yes she yoinked my stole and put it on. Yes it let her keep it. Yes congregation thought it was adorable and hilarious. Seen, loved, sent was the theme.

This is delightful! Don’t fly drones in restricted airspace folks! The fines are quite high and you could also face criminal charges. Those of us with valid Drone Pilot Certificates are tested on this. It’s not expensive to get the proper certificate so go for it folks!

When your command badge is so old the white enamel has faded to pale yellow. If I was staying in I’d be able to get a shiny new one. As it is I’m going to need to see if there are “other” ways to get a nicer one for my shadow box

The future, the steady support, and the iron fist of our monarchy.

Three members of the Royal Family rode on horseback for the Trooping of the Colours today. Each one of them rode a horse that was given to them by the @rcmpgrcpolice That’s pretty awesome.

Correction- he’s up to 35ml a feed. I’m impressed. Is this how full term babies eat? My last 3 fosters were all premies so I may be out of practice with full term babies.

The Gold Stick is fearsome woman. I know it’s technically a “ceremonial” bodyguard position but I honestly believe HRH could beat someone to death with her stick if she had to!

Night 1 completed! It was quite the challenge but we survived! Little dude crushed 30ml of formula every 2.5-3 hours, pooped 3 times, and refused to sleep from 0230 to 0625. Loved it!

Day 1 overnight shift begins!!! Time to learn how this baby works!! By far the hardest and most rewarding night!

Stargate!!! Are you listening yet @PrimeVideo ?????!!!!!

I mean….damn…

Fiji- more proud of and loyal to the monarchy they abolished than many countries who still have the monarchy. We could all do to be a little more Fijian.

Incredibly accurate statement.

This is the stuff they never warned us about when social media started out. I’m convinced we are living in an era where a Supreme Court justice will have nudes from their younger days floating around the internet before too much longer.

Joseph Oswald Maurice Paul Leblanc MMM MSM CD. Senior Ceremonial and Protocol Adviser, Department of Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada. Named a Member of the Royal Victorian Order by HM King Charles III today. Rare to see a Canadian so honoured! Way to go Mr. Leblanc.

Oh thank you sweet baby Jesus

I’m not sure if this is an unintended or intended outcome of the law. To me, if you’re working for free the law shouldn’t apply to you. That said- Quebec is free to pass the laws they want regardless of my feelings. cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/hi…

All good things. In 2010, the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery undertook a modernization initiative that added an additional battery to each Regular Force field regiment. In the 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, that battery was Y Battery, and I was deeply honoured to be appointed the first Battery Commander of its modern incarnation on Artillery Day 2010. Today, I had the solemn privilege of attending a ceremony in Petawawa marking the deactivation of Y Battery as part of the Artillery’s latest modernization efforts. It was a fitting and dignified occasion, bringing together serving members, veterans, former commanders, and friends of the battery to recognize sixteen years of service and achievement. While there was sadness in seeing the battery stand down, there was also pride in all that its soldiers accomplished during its time. Military organizations evolve to meet the needs of the day, but the spirit, traditions, and accomplishments of Y Battery will endure. I have little doubt that one day, when circumstances require it, Y Battery will once again take its place on the Royal Regiment’s active Order of Battle. Ubique.

I KNOW I have some mutuals who would be excellent in this role. Get on it lads and ladies!
