Hannah and I had a wonderful trip to Sudbury first, then go Pentictan and partly over to Vancouver island. We loved visiting our friends and family.

This weekend I flew my helicopter in the weight watchers carpark next door. Here is the film from the heli:

And here are the pictures from my visit to the paper factory and then our walk along the Thames.

 

Tigger is collecting dread mice outside the window. There are two there now. Hannah went to Cardiff today. So I was left wondering what I might get up to today. Thought I’d go to school.. Not one I’ve been too before though. Here are some pictures:

 

Tigger brought home a mouse today. Hannah and I had wildly different responses to this. Our responses were probably far more interesting than the mouse. Tigger did look pretty thrilled with his catch and offering to us.. Which was not received by hid staff as he might have liked I don’t think. I tried to show him that I was pleased. But want going to partake in the eating.

Thought this morning Tigger only went out through the window as far as the window ledge, then when another cat came on the scene he howled at the other cat, until I let him in again and the other cat ran off. He hasn’t yet got the hang of fighting with his opponent yet, just yelling, what I can only assume are obsenities.

So we’ve been busy over the past few days since we got back, found a place to live, got a mobile (cell) phone and also think we’ve found a car that we might buy. Tomorrow is D-day for all, we hope to sign the contract with the estate agents and also buy the car..

Off to have a bite to eat now at the pub next door.

We’ve been very busy this past few weeks, selling stuff and getting around seeing our friends and relatives around Sudbury, also seeing things for one last time before we head out. Tigger is finally done with his visits to his least favorite place.. I only have two days remaining to work in the Sudbury office. The apartment is devoid of comforts necessities, we’re moved into the house that we started off life in Canada. Farewell to Canada, we’ll miss you, but we’ll be back to visit, hello England, home we come.

We went to Killarney today, to go Canoeing. Having set off at about 10am we arrived having seen some deer, Hannah saw two raccoon coming down a tree and setting off into the bush. We then went for paddle right to the far end of George Lake and back. It was a little on the windy side but still warm enough, we stopped for a spot of lunch at what must be a popular spot as there was the remnants of a fire. On our way back home I spotted a bear at the side of the road and then half an hour on Hannah saw two big male moose at the side of the road.

This post has nothing to do with counting down, I was just mulling over the fact that we’ll soon not be in Sudbury.

So here are few of pictures from our weekend. We had great fun, at Camp and then a party on Sunday night with Hannah’s work colleagues and Monday at Fairbanks.

Where I found a log in the water..

Which I thought I’d re-float..

but it didn’t get into open water…

So I tried again..

Success!

Also, I had seen this combine harvester a few times, but never stopped to get a closer look..

And got bitten quite a few times over the weekend.
