Slacklining with Jon

We had the pleasure of wonderful company last weekend - Mimmi visited from Victoria for the weekend and Patrik's cousin Jon visited for the weekend and through to Wednesday when his was the first of the BA flights to make it out of Vancouver bound for London. Mimmi left us on Sunday afternoon, but the rest of us packed a picnic dinner and headed down to Jericho beach for the first slacklining session of the summer. Jon had apparently slacklined only a few times, but quickly proceeded to school us all.


There's something so wonderful about those first spring days when it is warm enough to walk bare foot. It feels like the body lets out a long sigh, relieved that the winter is over.





This photo gives away what is becoming harder and harder to hide - a growing belly! Although small yet (I'm only 3 months), the body seems to remember having done this before and gives shape to a bump seemingly from one day to the next. I guess I had better tell my boss tomorrow before he figures it out on his own!

A Day in the Sun


Although we're back to rain again today, we've had a few beautiful warm and sunny days mixed into the past couple of weeks. On one of those days, Anna and I declared it t-shirt weather, and spent most of the day outside. Even if the wind still holds a bit of a chill, in our backyard it feels like full summer when the sun is shining. Bliss...

Last Ski Day of the Season


Well, the ski season is officially over, and did we ever go out on a high note. It was a beautiful warm and sunny Saturday, and it had snowed 55 cm just a couple of days earlier. It was the best day of the season, and it was the last day of the season.
