Canada to Patagonia at a Worrying Age

This blizzard of updates is about to cease. Getting on the train for 3 days in the morning and I suspect there’ll be no wi-fi there.

Been up the CN Tower today, along with everyone else, once the sun had come out. Pleased I did – poss pic to follow. The last time I had a gin martini in a tall building it was the World Trade Centre.

Some info on Canada (well, Toronto);

By law, all residents of Toronto must carry a cup with the words ‘Tim Horton’ on it, between 0830 and 0930 each morning – but only while on the street, public transport or in their homes or cars.

Ontario’s laws on licensing make it virtually impossible to buy off sales – Rob, shouldn’t you have mentioned this? Shaun, you can never rely on a convenience store for 6 cans of Stella. Imagine that and have nightmares.

Right I’m off to electronic and radio silence (unless I miss the train). Unlikely to be able to keep up with the weekend’s footy or Eric Loves Me’s progress in the National Ffrett League. John, Ang, Shaun or Mike, I expect the code on Monday in my inbox. Although what interweb link I’ll be granted in the Rockies should be interesting. Might have to bribe a Mountie!

Tonight’s song – Leave the Capitol, The Fall (I know I’m not in Ottowa).

106 hours

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
