feburary 2010

Busy month here in Banff. I still work no where near as much as i ever have previously while living overseas but time is filled with days of snowboarding and trips into Calgary or Canmore to fix our car. Successfully however, this month we have managed to fix all the little things with the '91 Honda civic, and are safe and legal on Canadian roads now! Wooohoo!One trip to Calgary this month was most triumphant, with a visit to a 'real' thrift store/Op shop. Carl and I picked up some RIDICULOUS bargains; including a hoover vaccuum for $5, a Hamilton Beach blender looks like brand new - $5! and ski racks for the car! I also got a brown 100% leather jacket for $4!!! woohoo

This month we have found a new place to move which will be amazing for the summer weather as it has full views nearly 360' of the mountains around town. It is a brand new bulding with a big balcony and we move in at the end of this month so now we have to say bye bye to this apartment which has been perfect for the winter. An oversized basement apartment with lots of character :(

I've just treated myself to a coffee grinder. Now I can indulge in fresh Central American coffee any time, thanks to a little package i received in the mail all the way from Panama...thanks Anna! yum yum!My new Burton Blender. It's a 141 and is a pleasure to ride. Best way to spend a ridiculous amount of money ever!
