… and then what happened?
O HAI. Yes, I disappeared. Sorry about that. Well, not really, because I was on holiday. Yay! Holiday! We went to the USA and Canada. Have I mentioned this trip? I can’t even remember. Anyway, Mr. T had a conference in Dallas and so we used his free flight as an excuse to poke around in the northern hemisphere. As such, I flew into Seattle as his conference finished and he flew up and met me there. Then we went all round Washington and Oregon states, then up to Canada: Vancouver, Whistler, Banff and Jasper. It was great. Well, of course it was; it was a holiday. I have only one camera downloaded so far, which is the Good Camera, so it has all the scenic shots, like so:

I know. I would like to be back there right now. Maligne Lake in Canada. Sigh. Usually it’s bluer and, you know, waterier; but I am from New Zealand and beautiful lakes are everywhere. Beautiful FROZEN lakes, however, are a total novelty to me and I LOVED them.
Anyway, I’m back, the house is a bombsite, the cats are back from the cattery and they are freaked THE HELL out. Also they smell like bleach. That’s a good thing, I’m thinking, as the place is clearly scrubbed to within an inch of its life; however I hope they weren’t actually bleaching the cats. I mean, the ginger one could do with a bit more blonde, but that’s a bit extreme.
More updates to follow, once I get my A into G and shake this jetlag. How have you been, internet?
So glad you had a good time, I cant wait to hear all the tales!
Looks like you had an awesome time, I’m very jealous. I want to live in Canada.
Things on my side of the internet are bleh, but I have the big Nationals this weekend which is kind of exciting.
Oooh, did Hugo go too? You mention only the cats. Why were we not offered puppysitting? Squid would have liked a large boistrous chum, and I do think my house has been tediously intact since she stopped chewing things.
But really, holiday! Nice!
Wow that frozen lake. Spec-tak-clear.
Ohh you were in Canada! Thats awesome! If only you made it as far as the east coast! Hope you enjoyed the northern hemisphere
It’s weird to think that you were so close to me! Did you fly into Calgary and then drive to Banff and Jasper? I could have played hostess for a day (if my swelling pregnancy girth allowed it). I never get tired of the view of the mountains around here – so glad you had a wonderful trip.
And that damn dawg? Is he back??? Need photos. Badly.
