Marron, eh? |

Looks like we will start off going to Victoria since they have better mental health services. Victoria is still lower cost rent vs Vancouver which is the only other option mental health wise, then in a couple years move to a more lower cost region.

Looking at it on Google Earth, it looks like there's a nice bit of woodland right next to it - not huge, but at least a bit of greenery!
Worth contacting them in advance maybe? It's not long til January! It looks like the physical address is 1150 Esplanade, by the way. :) Edited to add, that might be a dodgy advert - these are luxury condo's Robins Grove |

I don't like it but it does look as if someone designed it. The second link though, that's right on the money, intersperse those with small attractive houses on huge lots awaiting sale, lot division and tree removal, and you have Indian Road.
https://goo.gl/maps/BekyuyJWwS72 I imagine that the single family houses on the left and right won't be around for long. When I was @ U of Waterloo as a student the whole street single family homes, some rented out to students others were family homes. I hope for the builders sake that there is a constant stream of students wanting to move in !!! https://goo.gl/maps/onGXX4sJHz42 This to me is the height of ugly suburban sprawlburbia https://goo.gl/maps/MCXX9XsGCmQ2 there goes your weekend mowing all that lawn until the next week when you mow it again. |

Good spot. I grew up about 10 km from where they filmed that show. The look of the towns is virtually identical from where I lived (Hadfield vs Hayfield, Derbyshire). Back when BBC Canada was actually worth watching I would watch that show and actually think the channel was worth subscribing to.

Going to ask Santa for one of these. The front truck has a special articulation mechanism so the ride is more fluid. Should be good to bomb about on in the spring while getting some exercise. :thumbup: https://s9.postimg.org/uoozkvdan/Car...wallow_001.jpg https://s11.postimg.org/q0h8qafv7/45...6_1280x720.jpg |

I have mixed feelings about Casey Neistat's vlogs but he seems to zoom around at high speed on one and they seem fairly reliable. I'm not being a old fart but they are fast and without a helmet ...:unsure:
The bloke's an utter knob. Good board though. |
Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I used to have a lovely bright yellow Marin mountain bike with a gel saddle and toe clips on the pedals - bought it direct from the factory and it still cost me more than £400. I used to do a lot of cross country off roading.. I miss that bike.

Still amazed how fast illness can arrive, go to bed at 1am feeling fine, wake up 6 hours later feeling miserable, like a truck ran over you and a fever....
