It’s my Mum’s birthday today. Happy Birthday Mum! Another year younger. A few more and she'll be 21 again.

It was almost belated, most of the time I forget that we’re actually 19 hours behind Oz here. I actually think of it as being 5 hours ahead – it’s easier to compute. It’s hard here – time just runs away and there isn’t much on the way of facilities up here. The souvenirs are awful for a ski resort (I can’t bring myself to buy another t-shirt) and I’m going to have to go into town for a card. Happy birthday mum!

Jae is in Edmonton for a few days. He’s being shown the sights by Kev and seeing an NHL Oilers game live. Current estimated timne of return is Wednesday. Fingers crossed. Safe trip.
