No, this blog isn't broken, it's just that we haven't updated it for freakin ages. Well here's a special double dose for yawl. Let's go right back to the end of the last blog.

Our New Years Eve was nice. Quiet but hey, we've already seen well over 25 years come and go. You can't expect every year to feel like you're living a Prince song. Anyways, we had a nice dinner and wine and watched everyone else's fireworks from our balcony. 

2008 has seen us working full time but this has been punctuated by visits from various members of the Hutchinson family. Emma (Adelaide) for a few days in mid January, Mark and Mandy (Adelaide/Boulder, Colorado) for the Australia Day weekend and Drew (Auckland) on his way home from a skiing holiday in Whistler. It was a pleasure having all of these people. Our Vancouver tour generally revolves around food but we did manage to show our guests some of the other features of the city as well (our different modes of public transport, homeless people, trees and rain).

Whilst we're on the weather, it feels like it's been getting better. We had another lot of snow but we've also enjoyed some sunny days (I took a photo to prove it). Great for skateboarding so long as your board doesn't fly off the park into the snow.

Last night we went to the monster trucks. Now we know what white people do on the weekends. We're white, so we had fun.
