Last weekend was further evidence that climate change is real. It was the end of March, and for both Saturday and Sunday it hailed and snowed in Vancouver. It was very strange to see, and caught the city unprepared. The snow didn't last long though, with rain following and then plenty of sunshine this week.
Big congratulations are in order for my cousin Andrew and his wife Vicky who gave birth to a little baby boy on Tuesday! The delivery was by caesarean (as planned), and both mother and baby are doing well.
On Thursday, we saw Eddie Vedder play at the Centre for Performing Arts. Our seats kind of sucked - they were a long way from the stage, but we enjoyed it anyway. No photos this time I am afraid, due to the distance. I wasn't really a fan of his or of Pearl Jam, but I recently heard his soundtrack to the movie "Into the Wild" (which I highly recommend - both the film and the soundtrack), and liked it a lot. The gig was very "MTV Unplugged" with Eddie on his own on a stool with a bunch of guitars, a ukelele, and a banjo. The simple presentation really let his fantastic voice shine through, and for almost 2 hours he was riveting to listen to. Oh yes, he can play the guitar too :) Superb.
It's been a very busy week for both Steph and myself at work, and I'm glad that the weekend is here. We intend to relax and enjoy it as much as possible. Tonight we are having a few friends round and will probably watch a scary movie of some sort, providing we can find a good one. Hope you have a good weekend too :)
