Xin gives last barbecue and Boris writes first

Well probably the last barbecue! the weather has been hot and sunny except for one day since I arrived in Calgary, no one knows how long it will last but typically it starts to get colder around now. Alec is the new guy with us he has done his paratroop basic training (5 jumps fully equipped) and is doing temporary work before enlisting

Victor with us here qualified for and worked in telecommunications in Nigeria before stating the degree

Can you go to a Chinese residence without playing table tennis?? Xin v Sarah great game but amazingly Victor beat them well XIN quite a bit and Sarah once - she had pro training back home, Victor's younger bro is a top player back in Nigeria.

And now the most amazing item a card from Boris. For those who do not follow the blog regularly Boris is a bear that has been glimpsed around my property and makes his presence known by moving tools around and collecting measuring tapes. He has also left footprints in the snow, sent me a Birthday card and now is the first to write me out here in Calgary. What an intelligent bear!!

Martin McDonald Chairman of the Energy Dept and Alison Lee his assistant, These are the folk
who were so helpful and worked hard to get me admitted to SAIT after I had completed most of the courses. Needless to say SAIT admissions has people specially trained by the Federal Government in denying admission.
