Fireworks, and other things

July was a busy month for stuff. We saw a bunch of movies, which I'll maybe get around to reviewing at some point soon. July was mostly great summer weather, apart from the last week which was cold and wet. We spent time on the beach, and cycling too. The last two weeks has been the Celebration of Light again, which for those that don't know is four big fireworks displays from English Bay (close to where we live). This year Canada, USA and China competed, and Canada won again for the second year running. I reckon it must be a fix, as China was the best in my opinion (they were the best last year too). Last Saturday we had people round to ours for drinks and to watch the fireworks from our apartment, which was cool. Yesterday was the final display, and our friend Jon has a BBQ at his place which was fun. It eventually degenerated into several hours of Singstar karaoke which was quite hilarious (especially Rick Astley). It's a long weekend here (Monday is BC Day) so we'll be taking it easy for the rest of it.

If you are interested, there are pictures from the fireworks here, and some from last night's karaoke fun here. Or check out the movie below :)
