Bad news

If you are in the UK right now, you probably won't have too much sympathy for us, but it's hot here right now in Vancouver! Summer is in full force, but the weather is turning today with possible thunderstorms later, which precedes a coming week of rain and showers.

To say that it's been a stressful week would be a major understatement. The company where Steph and I work has been going through some "realignment" under its new management, which meant more than 100 people being made redundant. Unfortunately, Steph was one of those people.

On the lighter side, Steph's friend Helen is visiting us and having a good time so far. She's been travelling a lot so we haven't seen so much of her so far. She comes back this evening from the Okanagan valley. This week we are all going to see Radiohead play outdoors at UBC Thunderbird Stadium, and then at the weekend we are going on a day trip to Bowen Island for some kayaking and walking, with a bunch of friends. So plenty of good stuff ahead.

Last night was a wedding celebration for Steve and Janine - good friends of ours - which was great fun. There are some photos on the web taken by other friends of ours if you'd like to take a look.

Let's hope next week is better than this one!
