grizzly tales

Hi folks.. sorry no pictures attached but the technology is temporarily beyond us and in any case do you really want to see our holiday snaps. ( UPDATE-pictures now available due to a new found skill or a little help from a friend...you decide...apparently you just click on one picture and you get the lot )

Well over a week's gone by already and Bryan, Kim and Jimmy have been brilliant to us...they're lovely people the Canadians and not at all like their neighbours. Beer's great,the country is beautiful and the wildlife is amazing ( a cougar crossed the road in front of us today... no the big cat not the Ford car ). I know you'll say to me " but what about Bryan Adams and his skin condition? What about blokes playing girls' sports ( hockey, lacrosse and rounders )? What about Leonard Cohen and his tone deaf drear? What about Monty Python's lumberjack song ( actually we did see a tansvestite directing the traffic on West Hastings Street in Vancouver )?.. and now what about Arcade Fire?...but these are minor blemishes on the face of a wonderful country. OK Arcade Fire is quite a large pustule but even that can be easily lanced.

We've had several nice days despite being told to.The Canadian Pacific train whistles make you want to sing the blues and jump on board...and a nice day out in the country involves travelling over 500 miles. Bryan and Kim's cabin near Boston Bar is a little piece of heaven on earth and Bryan's cocktails are lethal and make you sing and talk rubbish all night.If anybody wants the formula for Cosmopolitans Bryan's your man. On to Prince Rupert on 26th and up the inside passage on 28th ( after that we are going to Alaska tee hee ). Happy 30th to Nick on Saturday ( blimey how old does that make me ? )

How's the working life y'all ?

Cheers for now m'dears.
