A while since the last post, I see. Too many things to do now that summer is here.
For about the last four weeks, it has been dry and sunny weather non-stop which has been wonderful. We've been making the most of it with lots of cycling, sunbathing and picnics :) Steph has gotten back into swimming at the outdoor pool on Second Beach too.
Unfortunately we've both been sick recently, with a weird cold bug that had mild symptoms but a long and lingering cough. Steph was worse than me, and is only finally getting over hers after three weeks or more. I've had my cold for probably two weeks and I'm just about over it now. Poor Steph had to sleep on the sofa for a couple of nights as it helped her to stop coughing! And she missed a whole week of super-hot weather because she was too sick to go out.
We had a couple of nice meals with friends to celebrate birthdays - one at
Brix which is fine dining I guess, and one at
The Naam which is a casual vegetarian restaurant with great food. Both were excellent.
Steph did a day of kayaking a few weeks back with friends Conor and Sandro. The weather was good and they enjoyed it, but getting back proved to be really hard thanks to head winds and a rising tide. There are a f
ew photos on Flickr, though sadly none of Steph! Since then, she has discovered a
website which shows the tide times and levels for Deep Cove, so in future she'll be checking first to make sure it is a good time to go.
Other big news is that my Mum and Gran are arriving on Tuesday for a fortnight's holiday in Vancouver. They are looking forward to it, and so are we. Expect to see a deluge of photos soon from our tourist adventures :)
