Busy day in the 'office'

Friday, 4 Dec 2009 | Views [220] | Comments [1]

A great nights sleep in the new bed! I spent all morning emailing and doing work then decided I needed a break so walked back to the house on Cave Avenue to get the rest of my stuff.  AJ was kind enough to give me a lift back into town as I had way too ... Read more >


Moving Day

Thursday, 3 Dec 2009 | Views [287]

Today I got to move into the apartment I am renting with Adam this season.  It is the perfect location - right in the centre of the highstreet in the middle of town! It is so spacious and homely.  I know the couple that rent the apartment (Carlo taught ... Read more >


Bumper Cars!

Tuesday, 1 Dec 2009 | Views [257]

Ouch...I backed a Jeep into a concrete post today! The bill to replace the damaged bumper is going to sting a bit.  It was a hire car that Sam and Shane had organised so that I could pick them up from Calgary airport.  I had my first 'blizzard' of the ... Read more >

My friend Page stayed over last night so I left her sleeping at 6.30am and walked to the other end of Banff Ave. to meet the group for breakfast at 7am. I had to meet you a couple of boys interested in taking the 11-week course in January at 9.30am then ... Read more >


Lesson 1

Sunday, 22 Nov 2009 | Views [271]

It is the first day of lessons for everyone today.  I walked to the Voy carrying way too much stuff, feeling like a complete donkey.  Anna gave me a lift to the hill in her car which has a built in voice activated phone! Met with the 4 instructors who ... Read more >


Saturday shredding...welcome to Sunshine!

Saturday, 21 Nov 2009 | Views [285] | Comments [1]

An early start, rewarded with a breakfast muffin.  I decided to get the bus to avoid getting too hot and bothered in my puffa.  I was going to join the gym but a 20minute speed walk twice a day could be just the ticket.  The group listened to a talk on ... Read more >


Check yourself....in!

Friday, 20 Nov 2009 | Views [198]

By 9pm everyone on the course had arrived in Banff...let the fun begin! I breathed a massive sigh of relief as the ski passes and bus passes allowed those already in town to head up the hill.  Sleepless nights and worrying for nothing.


5 runs!

Got my first run of the season in.  A very stressful day but felt 200% better after 5 runs!! Holy smokes, was this job a good idea?

Working 9-5

Tuesday, 17 Nov 2009 | Views [202]

...well more like 8am - 6.30pm Wow, that was intense day of new information. I am feeling a bit frazzled. Tuesday night is locals night at the Elk so it was steak sandwiches all round. I love sweet potato fries!


Making Connections...

My first day of work. Connected with my boss, colleagues, internet and Rogers!


The Joy of Jet Lag

Sunday, 15 Nov 2009 | Views [226]

After a sleepless night listening to one noisy heater that sounded more like a rocket preparing for a mission to mars I got up. Task 1: get mobile (in the telecommunication sense). Bumped into birthday boy Carlo and chilled at his apartment...soon to ... Read more >


Back in the Bow Valley

Saturday, 14 Nov 2009 | Views [265]

After an emotional flight watching 'My Sister's Keeper', soaking my scarf in tears I got through immigration in record time and breathed a sigh of relief as I located by board bag and luggage. The Banff airporter man was so friendly and welcoming.  Even ... Read more >
