The weather in San Diego was worse than in Vancouver, which confused me greatly.<br /><br />Lisbeth, I hope you get the chance to explore a fuckwit-free Stockholm! <br /><br />Mermaid, I'll let you know how it goes! (I'm actually a little scared that I'll like it so much that I won't want to work ever again). The aquarium and anthropology museum are great favourites Cath@VWXYNot?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01164268321173313605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-76186585092431670822010-10-04T12:26:02.056-07:002010-10-04T12:26:02.056-07:00Having spent all our money in Paris just after Eas...Having spent all our money in Paris just after Easter, the Inhabitants of the Maison Des Girrafes (henceforth 'we') had a staycation at home in Cromer. It was great.<br /><br />I have a theory about fuckwits, though. I don't think they are as stupid as they seem. It's all a front. I think they are all members of a secret worldwide conspiracy called S. T. O.

As far as I'm concerned cooking is work, but I understand there are some crazies out there that actually find this pleasurable and are sincerely upset by not having enough time to indulge this bizarre activity on a daily basis.microbiologist xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578078880223116616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-66993748485749773882010-10-04T10:58:42.162-07:002010-10-04T10:58:42.162-07:00Hehe, yesterday I was daydreaming about Thomas arr...Hehe, yesterday I was daydreaming about Thomas arriving here and me taking off from work and explore Chch with him.

I recommend the garden tour so you can have it explained to you why they didn't use glue. It is pretty cool. <br />Granville island probably fits nicely into the goal of cooking nice food, always did for me. I can recommend Duso's stuffed pasta or butternut squash gnocci. <br />KJHaxtonhttp://www.possibilitiesendless.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-12726432987706797222010-10-04T10:12:09.348-07:002010-10-04T10:12:09.348-07:00Ricardipus, with place of work in or about Toronto...Ricardipus, with place of work in or about Toronto, Canada (hereinafter, "The Commenter") hereby represents and warrants that The Commenter and his associates (the "Parties") have no such accumulated vacation time.

This blogger also still has to use up 8 vacation days - and that is AFTER taking a bunch to go to Toronto in a few weeks. <br /><br />I went to Vancouver only once, but it was for a Keystone conference, so my free time was between 11 and 5 during the week, and everything was indeed nice and quiet.
