Luxury motorhomes

Marlene & Peter (L's parents) have traded in their old 1996 33' motorhome, for a luxury 2002 36' motorhome (well, I think it is a luxury motorhome). This thing is NICE!!! It has 2 slideouts (you push a button and part of the wall slides out further, only when stationary tho). It really is a moving house: nice kitchen with all the mod cons, kitchen table & chairs, a 2 seater leather love seat, a 3 seater sofa bed, nice bathroom, queen size bed, 2 TV's, VCR, satellite and LOADS of storage. And we're going away with them next weekend...CLASS IN A GLASS! You could NOT drive this thing on British roads my friends, this thing is a monster.

Weird (short) weekend

This weekend is gonna be pants as Lindsay has to work today, so really our weekend has to be crammed in to tomorrow. But the weather has been good today, so I have been sunbathing while he isn't here.

However, next weekend is a long weekend as Monday 2nd August is a bank holiday here, and we both have Friday off, so 4 day weekend...CRACKIN'!

Super Sundays

I LOVED yesterday, it was a GREAT Sunday. Sunday is my favourite day of the week anyway, but yesterday was just CLASS. We had a great preacher from Canada Food For The Hungry, who talked about the missionary work they do, but who also preached an awesome sermon.
Then we went downtown to the river bank to watch the speed racing and eat yummy food, although it was a bit hot 30+oC. Then we went over to Dawn & Dereks for a BBQ, to hang out with a group of friends and to watch Calender Girls (and bask in their air conditioning), the boys weren't too keen at first on the film, but all agreed at the end how good it was. I did feel a little homesick seeing the beautiful Yorkshire countryside though. It really was a wonderful day.

The heat is on

Well I got my wish, looks like today will be a scorcher, but maybe just a bit too hot, it's forecast as getting as high as 35oC. I am so pleased that the church has air conditioning, at least we'll be cool during the wedding and reception.

Tired (but the good kind)

I started a new temping job yesterday afternoon and had my first full normal working day today. It was a really good day, but I feel pretty tired now, although it feels good to actually have done a decent days work, and know that there will be some money coming in. I seem to get on well with the other women in the office, and have been invited to go out for lunch with them tomorrow for someone's B'day. It's a relief to have some work.

I'm hoping the good weather lasts for the weekend, it would be nice as we have a friends wedding on Saturday, then we were hoping to go to 'A Taste Of Saskatchewan' on Sunday. It is a food festival based down on the river bank, it's great, good food, good weather and the 'River Roar', which is speed boat racing.

What am I gonna do now.

It looks like more work is coming through for me, which is great, and will do my purse a lot of good.

My problem now is that I am worried about when I will get the opportunity to listen to Radio 1's Chris Moyles show. It is a problem cos 'the boy' doesn't like listening to it, so I usually listen to it once he's gone to work, but now I'm gonna be working when he is! I know that it isn't exactly crucial to listen to it, but it lessens my homesickness listening to it... oh well, I'll think of something.

Our 1st wedding anniversary 

Experimenting

Lindsay spotted that I could put pics on here, that I had been too chicken to try, so here is a picture the weekend of our 1st anniversary.

What a weekend

Last Thursday (1st July) was Canada Day, which is a bank holiday for everyone over here. So Lindsay got Friday off so that we could go up to Candle Lake for the weekend. Wednesday (30th June) was Daniels 4th B'day, so had B'day cake and pressies with him Wednesday night, then travelled up north to the lake on Thursday morning, watched Linds and Pa in law play Slow Pitch ball (like baseball), then Wes & Diane & Boys arrived so had more pressies and B'day cake again....IT WAS GREAT...love B'day cake! Later that evening Me, Linds & Peter went down to the lake shore to watch the Canada Day fireworks display, and got half eaten to death by mosquitoes.
The rest of the weekend was taken up with golf for the boys (including Daniel...he even has his own golf bag & clubs), eating, walks, eating, games, eating, and crazy golf...loads of fun. Plus got to have lots of cuddles with Steven who is only 3 months old, loved it, he is very cute.
