Happy Pancake Day!

For yesterday, obviously :)



What a long time it's been since my last blog post. It's almost the end of February already. So what's been happening?

Weather wise, we are having a most unseasonably dry Winter. We've had little or no rain at all to speak of which is very unusual for Vancouver, and the slopes of the local mountains are green - hardly a drop of snow in sight. A bad year for skiing so far. The last day or so it has actually started raining again, and there's been some snowfall at higher elevations. We are probably going to Cypress Mountain on Saturday (one of the local mountains) so that Steph can ski and I can maybe do my first snowshoeing of the season. We also have a big Whistler trip booked for mid-March with 18 0ther friends. That ought to be lively - let's hope there has been plenty more snow by then!

I am busy finishing Prototype which is the video game I am currently working on. Steph is still working too - her contract got extended a few weeks into March which was good news. Not much work around at the moment for when she finishes her current contract, but we are crossing our fingers.

My Mum has finally decided to come visit me this year - hooray! My grandmother might also come too which would be nice. We are currently sorting out flights and suchlike. I think it will be my Mum's first transatlantic flight - quite an adventure I expect.

Steph and I are in reasonably fine fettle, though I've been having a bunch of problems with my shoulder recently. I've always had trouble with it, but it has been a lot worse over the last month. I've had some massage which helped a little, but I'm going to the doctor's this week I expect to see what they can do, if anything.

Oh yeah - our friends Jon and Marissa got married! It was a very simple affair, but very pleasant indeed. We have a few photos that I will post when I get some time. Congratulations guys!

Until next time...
