The Contingency Plan

Tuesday, September 27, 2005

I'm in the land of bears, hockey and people who eat bacon, maple syrup and pancakes together.

Oh Canada!

It's around 2am and despite being here for five days I'm still freakin' jetlagged. I want to write but my mind's a mish mash blah blah yeah.

I'm having a great time. Getting along with Luc's mom better than I could dream. LOVE his family. Hardly see Hugo because he's off with cousins, aunties, grandmothers, etc and has shed his former clingy self. Yay.

The air is so crisp and it's not as cold as I imagined. I've been wearing tshirts and singlets during the day.

Driving still freaks me out. Especially when turning corners. Luc drove for the first time in five years here and turned into the on-coming traffic lane. Was no longer constipated after that.

We're finding it hard to relate to people our age here, including many of Luc's old friends. They're totally self obsessed and think we ride kangaroos to work. I went through two solid days of socialising where no one asked me a single question. I just don't know how they can do it.

Having weird dreams. It's not helping the sleep.

North America is having quite a warm autumn!

Glad you are enjoying your visit! Try the apple fritters w/bacon & syrup---yummy.

Hope you enjoy your vacation. Sounds lovely, except for the uncommunicative people. You're making me hungry talking about pancakes, bacon and syrup. I don't think we had pancakes since the Branch and the Blossom were born.

And everyone knows Australians don't ride kangaroos to work. They ride old beat up cars. I know because I saw it in the movie "Road Warrior". :)
