Sunshine, blue skies and a brand new playground that's not quite finished.

I hoping it'll be ready for use on Friday as we have all three of the grand-kids that day and they all know it's being built and are looking forward to playing on it.

It's been really nice and warm outside today (I can tell by what people are wearing) and the heating has been on in store so it's actually been warmer inside too. And we're supposed to be wearing layers and sweaters and all that sort of stuff.


I want to learn Holistic Therapies - y'know the hippy weird stuff, classes all over the place in the UK, not so here

I think I'm going to do a book keeping course instead for now, not quite the same but will be useful in time with a bit of luck.

Sounds like you need to move West not East.

It's all under consideration, the pull of England has thankfully retreated and now we know we are going to go somewhere else we can poke up with a few more Albertan winters

Anyhow, back to topic, same view as yesterday but with cloudy skies, supposed to get upto 24, so no doubt will overheat in the shop and judge what the weather is doing by the clothes people wear (and whether or not they actually buy).

There's gentle autumnal breeze massaging a few fluffy clouds in a picture perfect sunny Vancouver morning. Who said it rains a lot here?

This afternoon I have been mostly looking out of the window of aeroplanes. Currently I am looking out of the window of the Irish pub at YYZ T3.
