You are most welcome, Michal. I am so glad you saw the "rare full worm super moon," and with a photo of it as a screensaver, it must be so lovely to see it every time you look at your phone!
Our Marvellous Moon
The moon like a flower In heaven's high bower, With silent delight, Sits and smiles on the night. - William Blake I often marvel at our Moon, whether I am looking up to the sky to find its comforting luminescent smile in an artificially-lit city, appreciating its value in illumi...

I am glad you enjoyed the post, Vicki. Perhaps in the next film, like the technology, the actor playing James Bond will change!
James Bond: From England with Love
Just for fun, recently I have been watching, in order, all of the James Bond films. I have been a fan of the debonair yet deadly English spy ever since I was a child, and played with my brother's model gold Aston Martin DB5 car with its ejector seat, based on the silver car Sean Connery drove ...
Thank you very much, Maureen. I do agree, Peregrine Maltravers is a wonderful name! Another strong woman character to watch for in the first fourteen James Bond films is Canadian Lois Maxwell as M's secretary, Miss Moneypenny. The actress actually had a very interesting life, and I remember reading her "Toronto Sun" newspaper column:

Thank you so much, Jessica. You are quite right about Yo-Yo Ma, and I have corrected my post.
Summer Travel in Toronto!
I recently read about a five-year-old boy, Jackson Ryan Bennett, who plans to visit, with his father, all 100 branches of Toronto Public Library this summer, on public transit! His father said that Ryan picked the first branch, Fort York, out of Daniel Rotsztain's adult colouring book, All the L...
