The journey begins
In a famous book series a guy named Ford Prefect advises you never go into space without a towel. Well we’re starting on our NRA (Nanette Retirement Adventure) and I’ve followed the sage advice of my friend J and packed a stapler.
Three Challenges – Surrey Canada
I have three challenges to complete today – a trip to Costco, rearrange the furniture in a couple of rooms, and hold Mackenzie for three minutes while Kirsty eats dinner.
On the way again
You probably know that Kirsty, Kai and Mackenzie have been visiting for the past few weeks. You may also know Nanette and I do the odd plane flight. So …… how much of a challenge would it be to travel back with them? Oh, and I won’t take Nanette as backup because that would be cheating.
N Ice Day Out – Vancouver
David is sitting in a coffee shop listening to Kirsty and a couple of her friends talking girl talk. He is also feeling good. No, this is not a fantasy story or a window into a parallel universe – we have tickets to the hockey game tonight
Being useful – Surrey Canada
I get all the really important jobs. It’s Saturday and Baby XX has decided it’s time to come and see what all the fuss is about.
Giving – Surrey Canada
I like golf. I Love assembling flat pack wardrobes. One of those statements is true. One is not. More about that later
A fine day had by all – Surrey Canada
Today is one off those days when it just feels great to be alive. The sun is shining and they’re predicting a maximum of at least 7C.
Trick or Treat? Surrey Canada
I don’t understand Halloween. It’s really big here in Canada, probably reflecting their symbiotic love/hate relationship with their southern neighbours.
Transitions – Surrey Canada
There are some advantages to visiting the same place often – like having Bob the border guard greet us by name as he glances at our passports and tells me that his cold is now much better
Off to Canada
Hi all. I’ve been asked to kick off the blog again, even though this trip is all about being with Kirsty for the birth of baby XX. I can’t promise a blog every day, but here’s a summary of our first few days for those who are interested.
