So if we're not dead what have we been doing?

Okay we may have slipped a smidgen in updating the blog but we're both still functioning and we saw a large chunk of you on our fairly recent trip across the pond. And a very nice trip back to blighty it was, very cool seeing friends and family and my dad's 60th birthday was a really nice focal point for the whole thing.

So in summary since the end of August we have:

Finished planning our trip to England
Been to England
Travelled Back to Canada
Recovered from exhausting trip to England.

Since we've been back we've been to our first Canadian Football game (free executive tickets woohoo:), I've been working down in Calgary for a bit and Jacqui's been working her hands raw catching up with the surprise mountain of work at ISL.

Last Friday was a welcome rest for both of us, Jacqui and a dozen or so other harpies went to see Canadians with questionable English accents assault Pride and Prejudice. And she said it was good fun and well worth doing. While I made my excuses and went out with John and Ian for drinks and the most expensive steak meal I've ever had, and it was truly wonderful. The restaurant's in an old bank in downtown Edmonton, we were in the normal seats but we did see a group of people eating in the privacy of the vault, pretty cool!

And that brings us neatly up to Thanksgiving weekend here in Canadia. Jacqui and I have been cleaning the house up as we have friends coming over tomorrow (Monday, it's a Bank Holiday here) for a turkey meal and quite probably one or two drinks, it's the Canadian way we feel obliged :)

Anyway Thanks for reading the fairly long post and we hope you're all lovely.

Cheers
