Adventure update

No, it isn't that I have lost interest in maintaining a blog, passing on lots of useful information about our life in Canada or been kidnapped by irate Canucks, it is just that I have been very, very busy. Yes lame excuse, but life at Stantec Towers went into overdrive and the last two months have seen me plying my trade between Edmonton and Saskatoon. The long and the short of it has simply been that I've been too darn knackered to sit in front of a computer and keep this blog up to date. I have also mentioned that I will be starting a new blog soon and winding this one down. After two years, the adventure continues but has morphed into more like a stable way of life. I shall try to keep it interesting of course and keep you up to date with wonderful tales and ripping yarns, but the initial shock and awe associated with moving to a new country has dissipated.

So, a quick update. Charlotte has started grade 2 at school, Eleanor has started pre-school classes twice a week for two hours and Claire maintains and guards the fort. Our third winter approaches after a blistering hot September and my 52 birthday looms around the corner next week. Our basement is 95% complete on stage 1 and the next job is to install the home theatre system (yippee!). We have had both grannies visit and Claire's friend from the UK, Cathryn. No other radical news really, although I'm sure events will continue to unfold in their usual inimitable fashion. I'm about to leap into the Facebook fraternity with a host of useful information, including details of the new blog. So keep posted!
