Wednesday, August 6th, 2008This year was the inaugural Pemberton Festival, and since I’d never been to a music festival, and Pemberton is pretty, we booked tickets.
You could check in early at the Hyatt in Vancouver, so Dave did, but he couldn’t check in for me wihout my being there -but they gave him my camping wristband anyway, strangely. [...]
Owl Lake; wedding; sea wall cycling; John and Debbie
Thursday, July 17th, 2008I’ve been very remiss about blogging, again, so here’s another round-up. Sorry.
On the last weekend in June we went camping with Tim and Brigitte and their two dogs. Of course, them being them, that meant driving in their Jeep up past Pemberton; going up a very hairy logging road several kilometres, making good using of [...]
Festivals and cycling
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008We had no plans for the weekend, so of course we ended up doing loads. On Saturday we cycled along the sea wall to the Dragon Boat Festival, then back to Granville Island for lunch. On Sunday we cycled up Broadway to the Greek Festival, had lunch at East is East, then cycled on to [...]

Congratulations to:
Rhian and Robbie on the birth of Caio
Stuart and Rachel on the birth of Eli
Neil and Suzie on the birth of Olly
Jo and Greg on the birth of Felix
And crossing fingers for Kirsty and Ben, and Mark and Roisin, who [...]
Round-up
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Bad lazy blogging from me. Once again I am just going to sum up what I’ve been up to in the last few weeks - if I can remember, that is!
Well, I went to Abbotsford for the first time - there’s a new hospital and BC Cancer Agency centre opening there in August, and I [...]
Weekend with Kate
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Weekend before last, Kate came to visit. She’s currently living in L.A. so it’s not a long flight, and she’s in the same time zone as us.
She arrived on Friday while we were still at work, so we left her a key and a map and she went to Granville Island and found herself [...]
Catch-up
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008This is another one of those ‘Phew, I have time to stop and take a breath, blimey haven’t blogged in a while’ posts.
At Easter we did an Avalanche Skills Training course in Whistler, which involved going into the backcountry (up on snowshoes, down on snowboards) and learning how scary and dangerous the terrain is. I [...]
Sunny Vancouver with Caroline
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Our friend Caroline has been staying with us, and she brought the sunny weather with her. She had a day on her own on Friday while Dave and I toiled; but I was pleased to see the blue skies and think of her out there enjoying them while I sat at my desk.
On Saturday, after [...]
Not the best weekend
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008I still need to post about the hockey and the split boarding, but just to keep current:
Despite both being under the weather, we drove up to Whistler (I know, I know) on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately there was a serious accident just north of Squamish so traffic ground to a halt, but luckily we found the [...]
Holiday with the boys
Friday, February 15th, 2008Quick update: yesterday Dave and I went back to work after a lovely holiday in Whistler and Vancouver.
Stuart and Andrew arrived on 29th January, and Dave took three days off work while I toiled for a wage. They were very jet-lagged and had some moochy days in Vancouver shopping and eating, plus a cloudy no-vis day [...]
