We held our housewarming party on Friday evening. After a mammouth session of shopping (us), baking (Richard) and chopping (me) we produced this spread for the fine folks of Edmonton. About twenty people turned up - Ian and Lorn, 4 neighbours, and the rest were from ISL. A good time was had by all, especially when the wii tennis tournament got underway in the basement. The evening ended in sudden death table football at 1am between Ian and Lorn, John and Sonya (our neighbours across the road) and us.
Ian and Lorn stayed over and in the morning we went to Socrates, a nearby diner recommended by Ian, for brunch. As requested by Elaine, here is a picture of four hearty Canadian breakfasts. Note the melon on the plates, artfully added to suggest that the meal is of some nutritional benefit.
Yesterday morning I sat my APEGGA (Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysisists of Alberta for those who are interested) exam. 60 multiple choice and 40 multiple guess questions on APEGGA, law, ethics, health and safety and other non-technical stuff. I should find out in 4-6 weeks if I've passed. I then just have to get another 8 month's north american civil engineering experience and I will be a fully qualified engineer out here. Whoo-hoo.

Thanks for the breakfast shot- looks awesome. And it always amazes me how much beige food there is in the world.
Have lovely weekends.
I'm going back to Norfolk next weekend so I'll call then
