Nothing Important Happened Today!

Well another day but not another dollar yet, (just thought I would say that comment it sounded good).

One of the other apartment renters got hold of us last night and we arranged for a viewing at 9am this morning.

We got there before they did and the distance from Neil's work is about the same as the other one.  They managed to get the key stuck in the door (god I hope that doesn't happen to us).  They were a husband and wife team and they seem nice enough.  I think if we took this appartment they would be more willing to help us out.  Their daughter has gone to Engalnd, Devon I think it was, teaching. 

This one is a nine year old appartment block but has three bedrooms and most of the other rooms in it are bigger than the first one we viewed as well.  There was also parking for one car underground and another outside with added storage space wit in the underground garage. (very handy for bikes etc)  This one was only $95 extra per month than the other we saw.  The down side of this one was that it has blue carpets and the appliances are older but I am going to see past that with the added space it give us.  The area is much better with this one as well.

After we viewed the appartment we took a drive to St Albert, we stopped by at a sports shop and this is where the fun  began.  We bought ourselves a set of skis, boots and poles.  We weren't looking for any but they were such a good price and I now have a cute baby blue set everything matching.  I have butterflies on my skis (so very cute, I'll upload pics when we pck them up in  a couple of days as they need bindings)

After that we headed to the Science Museum, god I love that place.  We are going to be getting yearly passes when we finally get our accomodation sorted.  We telephoned the lady from the second appartment to tell her we would like to go with it but we needed to get hold of the girl from the first one.  I was a bit hasty last night because I thought we were never going to get hold of any of them, they always appeared to be engaged.  We don't have the time to be waiting around for people to call us back.

We haven't signed anything for the first accomodation, and we have tried to get hold of them a few times but they are never in.  I will try and send them an e-mail and see if I get a reply from that.

Driving

After our trip from the museum it was time for some food so we started trying to find somewhere to eat.  I pulled into a retail park. 

As you drive through them there are zebra crossings across the road to the shops from the parking area.  We have to drive quite slowly as people who are crossing have the right of way.   I kept on having to stop and let people cross well anyway the person behind me in a merc got a bit upset and started beeping me. 

I have no idea what he wanted me to do! I couldn't go any faster as like I said there were people wanting to cross.  I decided it would be best to take a next turn and get away from him but he turned to.  I was wondering if he was going to start following us so I pulled over to one side to let him past then he stopped right behind me. 

I put my indicator on to tell him I was stopping then he over took me very slowly, I made an effort  not to bother looking at him then he drove of normally and went away.  This whole situation threw me, and made me a little upset, I was doing really well up until that point and it made my evening quite crap.  Neil couldn't see what the guys problem was either but I couldn't drive then it had really annoyed me so we changed over.

Don't get me wrong not all of them are horrible drivers, I have found most of them quite polite.  Most of them let you in when you are indicating but a small number can be very rude.
