We live in Bold not too far about 20 mins drive - that's UK driving time though.

I though you were coming to play with my MacBook Pro this weekend? I thought we could try out the new iWeb template called 'grumpy' and build a web site dedicated to our favorite BE member

Probably just chill ........catch up on some of this
Friends around this evening and seeing some other friends in the mountains on Sunday for a bar-be-que.........will probably be doing a lot of this relaxing in the sunshine. and may go walking on a nice trail.
oh and got to buy a new bed tomorrow ..........

Myself, I'm with Willmore I wouldn't go anywhere on a long weekend period, but then I have the luxury of not having to.

Sounds lovely will you be posting when you are away, or are you going leaving the technology at home?
Hope you have a relaxing time.

I'll be taking our laptop with us to download my pictures to. We are also supposed to have a high speed internet connection at the condo we are staying at in Parksville. Perhaps I might post the odd picture or two if I get any decent ones.

My travels this weekend will probably be as far as across the river, going to the hot air balloon festival in Gatineau.

We've gone to mansion where my OH looks after the horses. It's like a resort, pool, tennis court, hot tub, use of half a dozen horses, ATVs, choice from extensive wine cellar, even tractors and farm implements to play with! As on most long weekends, the owners have gone to their boat and want burglars deterred.
