Firstly a very big Happy Birthday to my old mum back in Scotchland...

Day 9 of our trip, the last of the first half and I was up at 6:45 listening to string quartets and writing up my notes, then out into the expansive garden for some early morning photos...

Anne was up at 7:30 and, around an hour later, a lovely breakfast was delivered to our house - poached eggs with cheese along with toast, coffee, juice and mighty array of fruit...

We spent some time down at the lake before driving into town where we found the Mall – the BIG mall - and Anne availed herself of a new pair of trendy trainers while I bought two discs by City and Colour after being so impressed by their concert performance on TV yesterday...

We had lunch at the Taco Bell/KFC in a bout of flagrant North Americanism, followed by a Mars Caramel, which they don’t seem to do in the UK – it’s the best bit of a Mars Bar, the caramel, in a coat of thick chocolate – like a Mars Bar without the nougat...

Then, back to the Coliseum for the two o’clock kick off of today’s hockey game...

This time the Spruce Kings were untroubled by the Quesnel Millionaires, running out easy 8-0 winners...

There were six players sent off for fighting although each of the three fights did seem a little bit staged and the refs just let them get on with it till one of the combatants fell over...

Back to the house and out on the lake in the blazing sun in one of the pedalos...

Then to the same place as yesterday for tea, with your correspondent almost finishing off the biggest pizza in the world and the Executive Producer polishing off a huge chicken salad...

Tasty...

Home to the TV and the very strange “Gene Simmons Family Jewels”...



Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Boating on the lake
