-10, you call that cold?

It’s bizarre how slight changes in the climate can make a huge difference in perception of the temperature. If it were to reach -10 at work I’d probably be wearing 7 or 8 layers and still be shaking like a Parkinson’s sufferer. This is about -12 in SilverStar and with the dry air of the area that t-shirt under the hoodie was enough.

The flip flops were just old-fashioned stupidity.

It was good to get out of the hustle and bustle of Vancouver for a few days.  The weekend was also packed full of pretty rad things, such as snowboarding…

Candy…

Popeye’s candy sticks

Coffee and chocolate…

wine…

and my sunnies…

…that Bee stole (and hence she misses out on making the list of ‘pretty rad things.’)

Chilling in Canada

Literally.

Headed up to SilverStar Mountain to be of entertainment to Bee and Allie, and to kill some more time before I had to start work. The cold snap just came from snow where and it bucketed down for most of the time I was there. We forked out a few dollars for some kids snow toys and had loads of fun shredding down snowy hills until we got told off by uptight security.

I forgot my rule from the other month: Don't let Bee play with your camera.

One way to stay hydrated...

Also went to see the local hockey teams: Vernon Vipers V Salmon Arm somethings.

Back in Vancouver now, mostly just biding my time until I start work. Found myself a share-apartment which I’ll get to move into next week, I have training for work on Friday and Saturday, and I’ve done a little more sightseeing around the city. It’s also been unusually cold this month, snow has been falling in the city and I’ve been pretty damn cold even while wearing 4-5 layers of clothing. Maybe I picked the wrong winter to come over. The snow should be pretty sweet for boarding on though.
