Back from the 'shwa
(TrackBack)I have returned from the beautiful Oshawa, Ontario. What a delightful place.
We spent Canada Day watching England lose miserably and then headed into the city for sushi and to catch up with Nat (Robyns partner in crime in Whistler back in February) and over to a park to watch a free open air concert and some fireworks, which finished literally just as the heavens opened. The rest of the weekend was completed in a pretty similar fashion, hanging out in the city, on the beaches and with ice cream. All in all, Toronto is a nice and diverse place but the humidity and general feel of the city isn't one that would drag me back time and time again.
Back in Whistler I've slumped back into the usual routine, Monday-Friday work and hang out and bike at the weekends. Sarah is set to leave me at the end of the month and Keith is moving down to the city leaving me plenty friendless and in need of another housemate to cover the rent.
The immigration situation hasn't changed, still waiting to hear back from the HRSDC who should, now that we've wasted money on adverts, let me in. The folks come for a visit at the end of the month so I'll hopefully pop down to the city and to Victoria for a mini-break, hopefully the weather will be nice as its fluctuating daily at the moment.
I also have the pleasure of paying $1,000 to have someone smash my jaw in and extract my wisdom teeth in a couple of weeks which I'm overjoyed at.
