WAFO-9 working close to office
I’ve spent a bunch of the last year, since 2020-June anyways, working in this space. The public atrium at 1515 Douglas Street. Workday has an office suite in this building, but as you know, it has been closed due to COVID since 2020-March. Jawl has…
WAFO-8 Upper deck at home
At home, there is a nice upper deck that is useable as office space in the summer months. It ticks all the boxes for power, Wifi, bathrooms, access to coffee, etc. In this shot, you can see that I have the Macbook set up on…
WAFO-7 1021 Fort Street
The site of Picnic Coffee, near the corner of Fort & Vancouver streets. The owners run a catering outfit out back, and a coffee shop out front. Great eats to be had here, and on the day this shot was taken, I was enjoying the…

WAFO-6 Market Square Balcony

WAFO-5 Imagine Ice Cream @ Breakwater

WAFO-4 Picnic Coffee
Among my favourite patio spaces in the downtown core, at 1021 Fort Street. Great eats and coffee beverages, plus much more if you check out the menu! A very creative gang is at work in the kitchen. Have you tried the charcuterie boxes? I digress….!…
WAFO-3 Home patio
All the convenience of home, in this location on the back patio! This is a fair-weather location only, as there is no overhead canopy to keep the rain off. I use the portable umbrella on the table to keep the glare off the screen. I’ve…
WAFO-2 Macchiato Café
The café is located at the corner of Blanshard and Johnson in downtown Victoria. I came over for a late lunch, and grabbed a seat out on the Johnson Street side of the patio. The WIFI network called “Mac Guest” is available out on the…
WAFO-1 Market Square courtyard
I came downtown on a rainy afternoon to grab a coffee at MOSI on Lower Johnson, then park somewhere out of doors and undercover to avoid the raindrops. This bench is down on the courtyard level of Market Square. I grabbed WiFI from #TELUS, although…
