Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Monday, June 21, 2010. Himself is home. And not working nights, which is not home, as far as I`m concerned. Let the normal times begin for the first time since February. For a while at least! Monday, June 21, 2010. Friday, June 18, 2010. Hoping for a white hot summer. It’s after eight pm and it’s still thirty degrees. Even though it’s only June. Everyone is hoping this will be one of those summers. We haven’t had one for a while. And when the sun went do...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: The wearing of the poppy
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2011/11/wearing-of-poppy.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Friday, November 11, 2011. The wearing of the poppy. The many faces of Remembrance Day. Here, where there was no war, just commerce and volunteering for service overseas, it is a very sombre week, everyone wears poppies and it is full of ceremonies remembering all the soldiers who fought in WW1 and WW2 (and others of course). (it is also a big drunk for many). It was a defining issue for the young country of Canada. Friday, November 11, 2011. East Coast ...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: To Libya with love
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2011/02/to-libya-with-love.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. To Libya with love. We see the carnage on Twitter. We want it to stop. As Western Europeans/ North Americans, we reach for the tools to do that. Call on Obama. Email the EU Commission. March on the embassy. Campaign to motivate NATO. I am reading Amin Maalouf's " The Crusades through Arab Eyes". It is as gut-wrenching as the photos I am clicking through on Twitter. Disembowellment. Siege. Starvation. So here's the thing. Maybe...

Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Thursday, August 05, 2010. Yes, it's all really funny till someone gets hurt. Smart ass anti-baby comedy sketches inc. So we were talking about it this evening, in that part of the evening when we stand in the kitchen after work drinking tea and telling each other what really just friggin' sucked. None of us could believe it. Himself couldn't believe it. And he doesn't even know them. And then they get SHAFTED by some bureaucrat today. In Ireland, you ha...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: July 2010
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Thursday, July 29, 2010. On Reading Coetzee's Elizabeth Costello. I have been reading Coetzee again. As usual, I have only the faintest idea what the novel is about. It takes me a while with Coetzee usually. She is accompanied by her increasingly bemused physicist son. (Coetzee is a mathematician by trade). Who presumably represents the poor reader. This is what the Telegraph. Andrew Marr) said about it:. In the end, as his heroine confronts death, he ha...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: Mothered by a warm breeze
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2010/08/mothered-by-warm-breeze.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Monday, August 16, 2010. Mothered by a warm breeze. Tired and flat and hiccupy after an enervating week and too much emotion, I managed to force myself to put the cleaning rag down and sit out on the deck in the darkness for ten minutes. I was rewarded by a warm breeze cooling me off, playing a soft melody on the pewter wind chimes. And crickets. I will not have a meltdown and spoil what's left of you. Because you won't let me, will you.

Essays from East Lawrencetown: December 2010
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Thursday, December 02, 2010. Rerun of Dear Dublin. I found this on a blog I contributed to in July, 2009. Almost eighteen months ago! It is strange to me that it is still relevant. Maybe the hiatus, the fear, can be lifted soon and we can all move on. There was a lot of politics in Ireland back then. Come on now ladies and gentlemen! Have ye no homes to go to! Enough talking lads, there’s money to be made…. let’s get to work. We ran riot on the Nasdaq.
