Night time 80's wear

Night time 80's wear

So the foot got worse and worse until I couldn't really even walk on it. Ended up going to Cranbrook again to see about orthodics. Got them custom made so this should help with all the feet troubles! They were actually only $400 compared to over $1000 in Australia so stoked on that. The doc is going to write in the medical report that it's a new condition so that travel insurance should pay for it, fingers crossed anyway.

Went to Sarah and Dan's for drinks on the 12th March and played guitar hero with the drumbs and singing too. Was so much fun to play and catch up with them cos we haven't seen them much since leaving Extra Foods.

Had St Paddy's day on the 17th. Just had drinks at home and then went to the Brickhouse for open mic night. D'Arcy and Alex played which was fun.

The following weekend we had tea at Andres and his wife place. They have 3 girls, 4, 3 and 4 months. OOoooo they were super cute and fun to play with. The wee girl, Victoria was super happy with lots of smiles!

On Saturday we had an 80's day up the hill. Super fun for dress ups! Took the flask up with fireball, a cinnamon whisky, so tasty. Went over to D'Arcy's for drinks before heading out to a circus cabaret that was pretty average.

Have just been riding each day with no new snow but awesome spring conditions with sun in the arvo and nice soft slushy snow. Been learning shiftys and getting ollies times properly.

Finally got all our tax T4 slips and took them into H&R Block to get them sorted. They quoted $100 each which turned out to be $310 cos it went up with each T4 slips, super pissed off about it. The girl who did our stuff told me one amount and then it got cut in half for a reason she wasn't sure of. Then she forgot to enter one of Marsh's slips which made his return go down by $350! So all in all they were farkin useless and way over priced so i sent them a letter telling them we want our returns looked at again to make sure they are done right and that we want a refund. They are looking into it but have ignored my refund request ha, big companies, it's all about the money!

Went over to Murf and Crystals on the 26th for a burn everything in their house party. Just had drinks and hung over round the fire. They are such fun people, also from the mother land!

Lots of people are leaving now so had a big night out on the 28th. Started at Dale's for drinks, then the Pub and then onto the Red house for a party. Was such a saweeeeet party, they had a DJ and pretty much everyone we knew was there. Was awesome to see everyone before we cruise.

The orthodics haven't been shipped in time even though we paid a $25 rush fee so we can't leave until Thursday now. Very annoying but it is what it is I guess. I really want to get them so my feet can start to get better cos my left foot now is numb on the top which is all related to the bone structure etc.

Fernie - what an amazing wee town, loved everyday we had there! Such a pretty, fun place to live, with awesome people to hung out with! So glad we aren't leaving to go home a work. Can't wait for the next big adventure. It's going to be so nea to be travelling again and seeing different places!

Good to read of the great time you and Marshall have been having.
Hope your foot problem gets sorted out.
We are in Olhao, Portugal at the moment. Its in the Algarve which is a pretty touristy area right on the coast but Olhao is a lovely little fishing village. Just had a trip to a nearby island and tomorrow go back into Spain and after that we get ferry to Morocco.
Have fun on the next part of your trip.
