sipping pilsners in the sun.......

we drove around Canmore today & it's a much bigger place than meets the eye - there is allsorts of housing here from luxury $1m+ mansions to a downtown trailer park, everything, even the trailer park seems to be neat & tidy - all in all a total contrast to the grafiti ridden Soth London burbs we have moved here from

found time to stop by the Grizzly Paw which is a great brew pub, the weather was really sunny & warm & we basked on the sun terrace sipping cool Pilsners! from snowstorms to sunbathing weather in 48 hours! my tipple - a pint of Randy Goat Pilsner, most appreciated on a scorching! afternoon

tomorrow i am off to Vancouver for a week, i've been there before & it's a lovely city - this time it's for work & it's gonna be interesting as it's my first week

good to see Charlton win again, i watched the game on the net & we were lucky to come out of the first half just a goal down, great second half though & five straight away wins is absolutely staggering - take Premier League purchasers Chelski out of the equation & it would be a great competition this year as everyone is taking points off each other

i watched a bit of the MLS Soccer play-offs last night, these semi-final games wer eplayed in seemingly empty stadiums with Grid Iron markings obscuring the pitch, a strange affair but a few familiar faces on display not least past CAFC nemisis Youri Djorkaeff who now plays for Metrostars

there's talk of a Canadian MLS franchise next season with either Vancouver or Toronto looking likely to win a place in North America's Professional Soccer league.
