And believe it or not it actually relates to our Winter Issue*

Someone was blasting this as I walked to work this morning, reminding me it is the best video ever.

Three lovely words...

And it's down to the final

Here's to you

Back in the office after a great chat on Crosstalk. One thing that surprised me was how many callers liked magazines first and foremost for their recipes. We don't include many recipes in the NQ, but I do link to the occasional one on this blog. Here's one for what might be the nicest of summertime drinks: white wine sangria.

NQ on CBC Crosstalk tomorrow

In case you're in earshot of CBC Radio tomorrow, Wednesday July 7, the NQ will be on chatting with Radio Noon host Ramona Dearing* about magazines and so forth - so lend us your ears!

(*Incidentally she's a fabulous writer.)

Fall issue under construction

It is summer, just look at the pots and baskets of flowers so colourfully available outside the supermarket of your choice. As nicely distracting as gardening can be, the NQ retains focus on the next issue, starting to get our beams aligned and riveted, ie. whatever it is these brave guys are at here.

...from our gig on the lovely, foggy Burin Peninsula. Vol. 103. no. 2 ahead.
