Where does the time go? We've had a quiet week here in Ralston with the exception of Dinner at the Commander's house, which was nice (!) and an evening over at our friends house, The Flavell's at the weekend. And yes, at -23, we drove the 200 metres over to their house!!! It's still very cold here, though the school hasn't closed so that must mean it hasn't dropped below -40! But we have had some beautiful sunny days which is almost blinding against the white snow. Speaking of which, there is another 5cm of snow forecast for tomorrow (yawn!). I am sure that when the snow thaws, we will find many things in the garden that we have lost over the winter months - we haven't seen any grass since it first snowed in November! So not much to blog about this week. Just the usual school runs, ice hockey & after school clubs. Leigh is busy at work and next week is half term. Our plan is to head up to Calgary for a few days & hopefully get some skiing in at the Olympic Park. It's also the International Snowboarding Championships there so we hope to catch some of that too. Hopefully you can see the footage below of a much improved Ben practicing his 'hockey stop'. If you saw the previous footage that I blogged about 3 months ago then you will be impressed! Leigh and I are studying it trying to pick up some tips!
