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
$9.99 plus tax plus ?? – Canada
I always have trouble with tipping. Not trouble with the concept …no, my trouble is knowing when to tip and how much.
I just cleaned that! – Canada
“What on earth are you two up to?” “We’re cleaning the house before we leave.” “But, isn’t there a lady who does that after each family leaves?” “Of course! We don’t want the place to be untidy when she comes.”
Everybody wins – Canada
I hate haircuts. It always seems like I’m wasting time on something that will just get messy again anyway. Strangely enough, I actually like mowing lawns, trimming gardens and clearing out storage areas
You call That customer service? – Canada
I love the way almost all salespeople in Canada interact with customers. At times I wonder if there is a secret competition with fabulous prizes for the person who performs the most amazing feat of helpfulness (hey – the spell checker reckons that’s really a word!)
Trading Up – Canada
Swapping things is a kind of national pastime here in Canada. Tired of your old cell phone? No problem, contracts are month by month so it’s easy to swap and get that shiny new model. Don’t like your old stuff? Easy, just list it on Craig’s List and it’s gone
Paris to Dublin
Airport reached and it’s only 8:15. Pats on the back all round. Now, to find the Air Cheapo check in counter. Oh, maybe it’s the one behind that line of people – the really big line of people
