Well It's been a hectic couple of weeks leading up to Christmas but the hols are nearly upon us. We are getting into the Christmas sprite, Cath is playing the Piano for part of the schools Christmas concert, and I am going to be an elf and help Santa as he hands out the presents to the kids. OK so it means I have to wear a silly costume but on the plus side I do get to fly in a helicopter (another first off the list). In a few days time we are off to Saskatoon for a Christmas with my Cousin and her family which is really exciting, we are making a real journey of it with Overnight stays in Fort St John, Fort Nelson and some couch surfing in Edmonton.
Getting really cold now think it was like minus 32 today and is supposed to get a little colder for the weekend (not sure what the exact temperature was as I broke our thermometer last week), we have also had a pretty impressive amount of snow in the last few days, I will do my best to get some photos up in a couple of days or hopefully tomorrow. The really big news and the link to the title is that Cath and I have started our second job of House sitting, we are staying at my bosses house and looking after their 3 dogs for a couple of days, might seem like a bit of a chore but the dogs are awesome the house is amazing and I have just spent the evening watching Manchester United vs Arsenal, followed by Top Gear and the English Premier League review show whilst simultaneous drinking copious amounts of Earl Grey Tea Good old Blighty hey. I wonder if it is too much to hope that the sports channel that showed the above will also be showing the test match, now then I really would be in heaven.
Oh well hope everyone back home is having fun, apologies to my Mother, I will call soon promise!
Not a lot else to say really apart from everything here is really good, the place is awesome and the friends we have made are some of the most fantastic, helpful and generous people I/we have ever meet, so if any of them are reading this Thank you very much.
P.s Most of the people I know back home are pretty cool as well I guess
Keep on keeping on
