Claire & Andy are here

In the Den

On the Porch

Totem Pole Pose

Thanks to a bit of nifty dispatch work, i was able to leave Kelowna BC as soon as i had taken 10 hours rest and drive straight into Calgary, as i crossed the Provincial line into Alberta i was sent the number of an empty tridem that i was taking from Calgary to Lethbridge so all going well i should be in Lethbridge for the early hours so Jan & I can get out selves back up to Calgary that lunchtime to pick up Claire & Andy (Claire is our daughter who still lives in Swindon Wiltshire and Andy is her fiance).

There was a bit of a drama coming out of Kelowna, the trailer was very nose heavy and i spent over an hour trying to balance it out before i could get going, but once i was a way that was it, plain sailing all the way.

I finally got into Lethbridge at about 05:00 in the morning, scrubbed out the truck ready to hand back and Jan picked me up. We managed to get about 2 hours sleep then it was another 3 hour drive to the airport.

On the way back we stopped off at Tim's for the obligatory "Welcome to Canada" donuts then headed south through the torrential rain back to the 'Bridge then down to Raymond.

After sinking a few "Cold Ones" i decided it was time for Buffalo Wings, as i got up to make them i noticed that Claire had already keeled over and Andy was starting to nod off.

Okay i should have remembered about our own first day here but never mind, all the more wings for me......................................................
