Finally got those pesky queer bears off this computer and I can bring y'all a quick update from British Columbia.
Sunday 2nd July:
Met up with April and her tribe and was whisked away to Vancouver Island.
Monday 3rd July:
Had a scout around the local town and did the tourist thing of taking a horse and buggy ride around the murals. This was fun, with Jeeeennneeee the horse dragging us around.
She let me drive her car. Har har har. Daft woman.
In the afternoon, April had her first attempt at trying to kill me by taking me out with her sister and brother in law on their boat. I didn't do swimming, but was thrown out to sea in a dinghy, being rowed by number one son.
My arse got soaked.
Tuesday 4th July:
Little Qualicum falls.
Cathedral Grove.
Sproat Lake. It was here that April tried to kill me again: they made m try waterskiing. This is great fun if you enjoy being dragged face first through freezing cold water while your wrists are pulled off. Let's just say that I wasn't successful, but I had great fun trying. I still can't form a grip that's strong enough to squeeze toothpaste today.
Did some kayaking. It was fun.
I slept in a tent that night. Me! In a tent!!!
Wednesday 5th July:
Pacific Rim National Park and the great black bear/cougar/wolf hunt. There were bears about.. apparently. We had all the info on what to do if we encountered one. You're not supposed to run and scream or play dead or stare at them. It doesn't matter if you don't see any. We didn't see any. We didn't see any birds either. Except crows.
Also went up to Tofino, which is a nice fishing/tourist town somewhere on the left hand side of Vancouver Island. This is a nice little place, but there weren't any bears there either.
Thursday 6th - Sunday 9th July:
America! April drove us over to Washington State over the Cascade Mountain Range. The Americans let me in, the Canadians were probably relieved to be rid of me for a couple of days.
- Went up in a helicopter.
- Did waterslides.
- Did white water rafting.
- Visited the Grand Coulee Dam
See how three of these were potentially life-threatening? Oh, and there were rattlesnakes there too. And it was very hot and sunny and I've probably got skin cancer.
April gets rid of me tomorrow.
Oh yeah, almost forgot...
COME ON!!!!!

I hadn't noticed that Vin Deisel was playing for Italy - first right front row, sorta.
Hmm all these dangerous pursuits that April has had lined up for you and she still hasn't succeeded in maiming you. I reckon Piggy should ask for his money back from her.
Hello Friend! I just came across your blog and wanted to
drop you a note telling you how impressed I was with
the information you have posted here.
Keep up the great work, you are providing a great resource on the Internet here!
If you have a moment, please make a visit to my acqualina miami site.
Good luck in your endeavors!
Sounds like you are enjoying the Pacific Northwest! I'm so glad you guys are having fun!!
Have a safe trip home.
Sounds like a Nature Girl kind of vacation. Me, I like a full-service hotel with a maid to put a choccy on my pillow every night. But as long as you're having fun...
I never managed the waterskiing thing either. I can't even snow ski - I invent 1001 new and exciting ways to fall.
Holy shite, Tina! You should be careful, this is bordering on one of them blog-diary-type-post thingies.
Not that I can talk, obviously, on account of me complete fecking lack of inspiration over the last few months (and the fact that I'm very, very lazy - but I have moved house and got married, so hopefully I'll have more to blog about soon).
Anyway, t'rar.
Sorry, it is a bit journal/diary-like.
Just wait till I get back though, I've got all sorts of tales to tell. Have you ever seen the toilets here? They sort of suck all the shite away. Brilliant!
Back to normal next week...hopefully.
Convict: That's Alessandro Del Piero who I'm hoping will grow his hair back SOON. He's quite lovely despite this pic.
More pictures from your trip????
Apparently she's landed back in Manchester but she's been ahuled in by customs who want to check her hair for illegal immigrants.
Your site is on top of my favourites - Great work I like it.
