The skunks have deserted us (without paying rent) and the whelbourn family in Canada are just getting on with life.

• Visiting friends,
• Walking around the beaver ponds,
• Accepting new job offer,
• Feeding our pet Racoon (who has replaced the skunks as the new family pet).
• Registering for UNB fall courses
• Spending money

Tomorrow we (Julie and I) are off to Saint Andrews NB. There are a couple of events and places to visit.

• Ministers Island Community Picnic
• Kingsbrae Gardens  (see what is blooming now)

Over the coming weeks I will be transitioning my assignment and preparing to start my new job (still hush hush really). One of the downsides to the new job is that I will have to carry a Blackberry phone. After watching the crackberry addicts tap out emails constantly I have managed to resist the pressure to have one. But alas the new job requires me to have one, I will have to time limit my use (no messages after dinner).

OK time to go and soak up the sun (its a sunny 30c here in Fredericton). The summer has finally arrived and forecast is hot and sunny all next week
