  1. Just finished "If You Could See Me Now" by Cecelia Ahern. Really enjoyed it, one of those books that just gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside - best way to describe it really.

    If you ever had an imaginary friend as a child then you should read it.

    Plan to read the new James Patterson book next before finally getting into I, Lucifer properly (keep getting distracted by another book every time I start to read it, very unlike me.)

  2. Think I've just about recovered. I have a couple of photos from just after the bells in bassment, by the time we got to moshulu I was in no state to operate a camera! Could hardly sleep last night for having spent the whole of New year's day in bed though.

    Hope everyone had a great Hogmanay and has a good 2007 :)

  3. Oh god, I almost forgot about the falls! U must go and get a sexy blue rainmac thing - cool as! Never realised America was so close to the Canadian falls - u can actually walk across the border (provided u got ur passport with u!)

    When I was there we went over to New York for the morning, had breakfast and went onto the hurricane deck of the American Falls (very wet.) - surprisingly immigration at the border was more troublesome for our Canadian friend who was with us than for us.

    Anyone been to Blue Mountain water park? Now that was fun...

  4. Don't know if the weather will be suitable for it but the Toronto Islands just a quick ferry ride from the quayside are well worth a visit - best to devote a day to them like. CN tower obviously is a must, if you get a clear day you can see all the way to the otherside of Lake Ontario - even see the mist rising from Niagara. Plus you can stand on the strengthened glass floor on the lower level to look all the way down to the street, enough to make anyone dizzy, my mum was too chicken to do it.

    The Eaton shopping is good for shopping, although I just remember making a bee-line for the Baskin Robbins booth - the flavours over there are so much better!

    Erm what else... no idea if it's game season but you could catch the Argonauts (CFL) or Blue Jays (MLB) at the Sky Dome, the University Buildings are quite beautiful aswell and definitely worth a look.

    If you got the chance a day trip to Niagara-on-Lake and Niagara Falls would also be worthwhile. The horseshoe falls are just breathtaking.

    I'm well jealous. I'd love to go back to Canada.

  5. Can't say I'm a huge fan either, but am forcing myself to eat some everyday after reading in P&J about study into dark chocolate helping M.E. sufferers feel a bit better... but where the hell do you get dark chocolate with 85% cocoa?! All I can find is 70%.. ah well, an excuse to eat choc if ever there was one!

    My fave tends to be Sainsbury's cooking chocolate, el cheapo but very tasty.

  6. My flatmate is misery guts with Xmas. I'm getting a "Ho Bloody Ho" bobble for the Xmas tree for him.

    I adore Christmas. It's just a chance to catch up with everyone and share presents. :)

    Like the grinch... with porn.

    Speaking of present swapping Burnham, you and I need to meet up this week to do just that!

    (And I'm still waiting for card #2... that you remembered to write in this time ;) )
