1/ Pretty epic falling out with C yesterday. It started first thing in the morning when I discovered she hadn’t phoned the doctors to make an appointment. She’s bed bound with abdominal pain meaning that I’m having to care for her and baby full time. I’m happy to do that but I do expect C to play her part by seeking medical help. She did then contact the surgery, but doing it late meant she was unlikely to get a same day appointment.

Good Morning #Canada
I've been a bachelor since Thursday as my wife is in Toronto helping my daughter with her latest chemo session. She's back late Monday when life, for me, returns to normal. According to #StatsCan, being married at our age (late 60s) is the most prevalent relationship. But Canadians in younger age brackets are more likely these days to be living common-law and getting married later in life, if at all. Canada has one of the highest rates of common-law relationships worldwide and the highest in the G7. Between 1981 and 2021, common-law couples increased 447% while the number of married couples grew by only 26%. Common-law unions are most prevalent in Nunavut (52%), Quebec (43%), and the Northwest Territories (36%). It's no surprise that more than half of Canadians believe that marriage is not necessary, and even less surprising that this opinion is stronger with young men versus young women.
