Canada to Patagonia at a Worrying Age

Possibly one of the nicest leaving comments I’ve ever received – step up Simon Welton, who actually said as he prepared for the weekend’s parties as I left Kelowna – “Don’t Die”. Pure class.

Today’s record is clearly “There is a Light That Never Goes Out” by the Smith Brothers

Today’s attempt to make people envious.

There may not be a picture to go with this one.

In my effort to do new things all the time, the Weltons are proving willing accomplices. Today I had an aromatherapy massage in a bloke’s office that entailed taking my clothes off. It was a bit hippyish, and the bloke didn’t half look like Stevie Mal, but it was fine. After a visit to Sunshine Farm (kept my clothes on) it was off to the infrared sauna where I took my clothes off again. Kim had organised both of the clothes off events. Mark & Kim do a weekly visit to the infrared sauna where they are videoed live for an internet audience. It should be interesting to see what my figures are like.

It was curling tonight and I was relieved to discover it wasn’t naked curling. However, it was embarrassing curling as I ended up on my bum. It’s not as easy as those screaming Scottish harridans make it look. Simon and Olly were also upended, but we were all brave little soldiers. The adults beat the kids, by the way. Hopefully there’ll be an action photo here soon – but not a sauna screenshot.

I see Ebanks-Blake scored…

Also Sue unhappy about the fact that one certain nephew is yet to feature – will sort out soon.
