I was about to say relatable because it's been like 13c the past couple weeks (and snowed a week before that) but apparently today we're hitting 26c. Fuck yea.

We get like one hopeful day of about 20-21 degrees and then back down it goes to rainy and 14. It's been a long cold spring.

As someone on an island in the middle of the ocean, I feel you... Newfoundland isn't exactly known for balmy weather so real relatable lol
Hopefully it changes for you soon <3

I would love to visit there! I want to go whale watching and see the Viking settlement!

Hopefully today the Weather Network ain't lying...
And come visit! It's great here. I grew up on the northern coast of NFLD often called Iceberg Alley. We had tons of icebergs following the current down from the arctic. Humpback whales follow the bergs too so you often get to see both at the same time. I used to go kayaking with the whales whenever they'd show up. Insanely peaceful. I think the first 15 seconds were pure terror and after that it was just awe inspiring. Gentle giants is accurate.

My coworker pal is from there and she says if random local people invite you for dinner or tea, you should just go, because they're that hospitable. I think that's amazing. I will visit someday!

Honestly, yes. We're a strange folk. That's not as common in the city though. Like almost non-existent. But outside in the smaller towns? 100%. I'd highly recommend watching the play 'Come From Away'. AppleTV+ did a taping of it. It uses Newfie music styles to talk about all the planes that landed in Gander during 9/11. The focus is on the people, not the events of 9/11. People in a new land going "What the fuck are these people saying". It's a joyous romp.

East Coast music in general is awesome; have you heard of Cassie and Maggie? My favourite Christmas music ever. I will watch the play for sure!
