Old Shuz New Shuz

Why is it I don't realise how dreadful my old running shoes are until I get a new pair next to them?
Yum. New running shoes . Can't wait to try them out today.

Run in the Snow

My running had taken a back seat lately to all to Crossfit Ive been doing so it was nice yesterday to get out of town and head up to Lynn Valley for a little trail run. The valley is a short drive from Vancouver and I headed out there with a couple of friends. We didnt realise ,however, how deep the snow is up there still! So the run turned into a sort of scramble walk. Its a bit nerve wracking running over a tiny wooden bridge over a stream when there is a narrow ridge of snow on that bridge that puts you another 3 feet above the water!
I didn't have my camera but found these shots to give you an idea of what its like. We were out for an hour but only ran about 6km ..thats how slow we had to go. Still, it was fun!

Coffee at Johnny's Place

My friend John got a new coffee maker.
To save money.
It cost $800!
Hehehe






I have to say tho the coffee was very good. Its all automatic. It grinds the beans . Makes the steam. Brews the espresso...... everything but drink it for you!

Book at the Beach

Had last week off so took advantage of the FANTASTIC weather and went down to English Bay to read and have a coffee. This is why I love Vancouver. A day at the beach in February?!

I Have a Cat ....Her Name is Mouse

Update !Actually her full name is (big breath here...)
Triple Grand Champion Kokopellirex Miss Mouse of CDelite.

Alex,her breeder ,already showed her as a kitten and she won!

She is a sweet girl.As is usual with the second kid I havent taken nearly as many pics as I did of Minka. Ho hum. Too busy emptying litter boxes to do anything else!

..

I currently have 4 litterboxes which will go down to 3 now that The Mouse is out in general population. She was living solely in the bedroom for the first week with her own en suite bathroom. Sigh.

Juris helped me construct 'Poo Towers' in the hall cupboard which has gone over well so far.

Rising Star in Car Scandal

Seen on the back streets of Swinton recently. This Norwegian star with connections to the Swinton area was seen driving dangerously with her baby beside her on the front seat.

Caught by the paperazzi she tried to cover her face but she was clearly caught on film. She then tried to reverse away from the camera lens narrowly missing a smaill horse standing nearby.

The girls agents could not be reached for comment at time of press.

Whistler Feb 2008

Took a weekend trip up to Whistler a few weekends ago for some skiing. Yuris and Cindy came along. Juris is a fantastic skiier and a very good instructor. He had Cin and me carving out some nice turns by the end of the morning. It was a beautiful day with no wind and blue skies. Plus a fresh layer of 12 cm ne w snow. Lovely and soft!
