Back in Business...
(TrackBack)The lack of updates has been due to me moving the site to a new server and not being able to get it running again but here we are hooray!
Ok so my parents visited the last week, we initially went to Victoria which was no more pleasant than when I went in November in the pouring rain. Sure, the harbour is okay but there's literally nothing there except old people and mime acts, now if you were to integrate the two you'd be onto something... The drive up the island proved rather pleasant, indeed it's a shame we didn't have more time to explore but nevermind.
Next was Whistler which of course struck awe into my amazed folks. Actually I don't think they were too bothered except by the Mongolie Grill which is enough to make the most unimpressed of Sea-to-Sky consumers vocal. They got to see a bear right on the Blueberry trail which was pretty awesome for me and them. I dropped them off back in Vancouver Friday and managed to lose the car for about an hour. Don't ask.
Other news is a bit slim on the ground, work is busy, my teeth finally healed after 3-4 days of absolute soul destroying pain and blood, Robyn arrives on the 25th! I sent off my visa work application (for a years extension) and also got all my documents together to speed up my residency application, although the lawyer is being typically useless and hasn't got back to me, but that's a whole other rant saved for when I have the documents in my hands.
Sarah left me :-( :-( Very sad to see her go, we have a great friendship and I'm going to miss her loads. Ron has moved into the apartment as a long-term tennant, we haven't spoken much but he seems pretty cool, I'm fairly sure we're going to get on fine.
I'll throw a few pictures up that I found later.
