It's to hot to sort much though so stuff is still all over the place. :)

But Canadian students have a chance to practise that type of clinical testing over and over in their training and so are much more prepared in that sense. She's going to give me a bunch of notes, books and practice exam scenarios which will help tremendously. Plus I'll know what to expect when I re-sit it! :eek:

I love my new Canadian friends. :beer:

I had such a good evening last night. Round at a friend's house overlooking the Stampede grounds. Fire pit going to deter the mozzies, good food, good company and plenty of booze! :p

Then we watched the fireworks at the end of the stampede evening .... best I've ever seen!! :D , then returned to the garden where one guy took out his guitar for a little singalong and one of the guests was a Newie who sang some traditional Newfie folksongs unaccompanied. He was brilliant! :D

I love my new Canadian friends. :beer:

I'll put one up tomorrow after the vinyl is down. :)

Let us Pray:

At home as it is in the local.…
Forgive us this day our daily spillage
As we forgive those who spillest against us….
Lead us not into the practice of poncey wine tasting,
Deliver us from Alco-pops,
For mine is the Bitter, the Ale and the Lager,
Forever and ever,
BARMEN.

No, not yet - not sure what is happening with plastering yet - I think it's getting done by the electrician's plasterer but I'm not entirely sure.

I have a complete mental block when it comes to reno in my own home and it's always disorganised....

Anyway, he's here....was the smell of the coffee. :D
