Canada to Patagonia at a Worrying Age

Turns out I didn’t need to bribe a Mountie. Not that I’ve seen one yet. Bloody swizz.

Anyway Mark, the reason I am not sweating in South America, but freezing in Canada, is because of you and your hair-brained scheme to civilise Canada, or something. About to ring you to complain and then a gorgeous sunset appeared out of nowhere to make the mountains look especially impressive. Just to up the ‘aah’ factor a family of deer appeared outside of my hotel bedroom. All very nice. The minute I get to grips with editing pictures on the site, something will appear…

Did I mention that it’s 30% off all Moose Antler products? Does anybody want me to pick anything up for them while I’m here?

Today’s tune is Nowhere Man – The Beatboys from Merseypool. Chosen, Col, because it was playing in the bakery when I picked up my packed lunch ahead of my tour to Maligne Lake. See you later.

Hello avid readers – god this must be dull if your not me. I did write a rant against Zoom – but I’ve left it at the hotel. Just as well really as it’s no doubt libellous. As would any comment on the hotel room which is one square yard by my reckoning with a postage stamp window onto the air-con system. Still moving tomorrow.

Toronto seems nice enough, by the way, just the usual North American food (and added tax) thing going on. Paul McCartney was just starting his show as I arrived. I often fill in on backing vocals for him since Linda’s demise, so was happy to do so again. Frankly I think I saved the show…

However, real news for those who are interested – Hello Pauline Murphy – is I now haven’t smoked for 36 hours. Not promising anything at this stage, but it’s a start. Off to spend the money I’m saving on beer – that is how it works, isn’t it?

Mark – thanks for comments. Tickets booked – get to Jasper Monday – See you next Thursday I Think…

Anyone know of a good base in Jasper for three nights?

Bye
