all you joggers going round and round...

everyone out here seems to be exercise mad, you can guarantee that you will see within moments of leaving your house joggers, cyclists, rollerbladers & loads of roller skiers - i thought all North Americans were supposed to be obese, doughnut munching, coke swilling porkers - somebody needs to tell the locals round here

roller skiing looks like good fun & also great exercise, i am definitely gonna give it a go when i get a moment - i might even carry it on if we ever return to London, it would surely raise a few eyebrows if you skied past the stationery traffic on Trafalgar Road in SE10 on a Saturday afternoon

we spent the day in Calgary sorting out customs clearance for our goods, opening bank accounts & generally faffing about

at first sight it's not a very inspiring city but i guess we did spend a lot fo our time in the banking quarter, i guess almost anywhere after London will be a poor relation in terms of cultural diversity, the real joy i think will be discovering Calgary's alternative underbelly (if it has one) - i.e good bars, clothes shops, record stores, book stores etc

after a couple of days absence my tune of the day is travel mountains by espers
