stuff....

been boarding the last couple of days. been alright but yesterday it was 8 degrees and today it was pretty warm aswell ><>< this makes me very very angry. none the less i was still hitting the slopes and enjoying myself. - pics to come

There has been a few happenings around here lately. Lots of the frenchies have been leaving - there was a BIG party which was organised without the consent of the staff housing folk and thus was closed down at 11pm. it then moved to DCH (donald cameron hall - where the other bunch of staff housing is) and was shut down there, THEN on the way back to becker from DCH all the find party goers were questioned by the police and 1 was arrested. I found this all rather amusing as i finished my partying at 11 and watched tv instead. - pics to follow

last night was 'steak night' down at the elk n oarsman. u get a fine steak sandwhich for $8 which aint bad. we made a booking - definitly necassary - and we had a full table of 14 i think. this was, me, adam, tim, rupert, billy, lucy and clair who are back in town (the two irish girls who i think i mentioned in a much earlier post), then some girls from the hostel we stayed in ages ago, jess, rachael and sarah, then two of their friends. and then a friend of clair's rocked up with a buddy of her's. so it was a full table. I got my steak, was enjoying cutting the big thick piece of meat only to find out the edge of the plate which the steak was resting on was hanging off the table and quite a comical situation which ended with a plate of chips, calamari rings and my steak sandwhich all on my lap..... ><

pics of that night to follow too i guess.

yesterday walking back from the staff cafe to Becker, after snowboarding and dinner and such, there was a group of 7 elk (maybe/i think) wandering around the Banff center. they had made their way from behind the becker building down towards 1 of the hotels. they were quite calm, and didnt get alarmed with all the people watching them. this said some of then had tags on their ears which means they had attacked people before. i snapped a whole bunch of photos - will put up the better ones aswell.

besides that its the 7th which means all of 24 more days till i leave this place,

hope you have all been enjoying reading 'this thing' (that better ritz??)

remember u can leave comments yo!!!!!

erm i think thats it, i will chuck all the photos ive been promising, from my days on the slopes at lake louise to all the ones ive promised in this entry.

oh, and on a sad note, Sebastian left this morning - those of u who ever look at my myspace will remember him as my number 1 friend for a day or two. He was one of the french canadian house keepers. anyway last i saw of him he was trying to hitch a ride to calgery airport to catch a 1am flight tonight LOL. hope he catches it, before he left he said if i come to quebec and need to stay somewhere he will happily put me up so thats one more pro to going there - its looking more enviting.

anyway best be off now

toodaloo all
