Evening All.... *bends knees and makes like Dixon of Dock Green* lol How is everyone tonight. Jacquie xxxx

Hi Jacquie! At long last our paths cross! We have been looking for you all week. Phew- Pat and I were the only Owls around, not much of a flock, or whatever they call a group of owls! Deb

I always seemed to just miss you... Not been around that much the last week or so... didn't seem much happening of interest on the boards. How are you? Have you spoken to Magi recently? I spoke to her last week one day or was it the week before! lol - she seems very busy, which is good! Jacquie xxxx

hi deb just checking my mail before i head off to stink in my pit......and thought i would see what is happening on here and here you all are having a p.j. party ! maryclare.......... toronto

Hi Jacquie Its lovely to see you :-) How is Marley? hope he is a bit better. Group of Owls or is it Parliament or is that Vultures? LMHO We better stick to group Deb sounds betteror does it? they may think we are a clique ah well doesnt matter really. I found the same Jacquie very little interested me when I popped in, hopefully that will change but I seem to be saying goodbye to people a lot lately, not many hello's :-( I don't know whats gonna happen, normally I would have thought there would be more people around as Autumn/Winter sets in. Pat x

***Waves to MaryClare*** Welcome to the night thread! How's Toronto these days? I must admit that I have never been there - shame on me! Then again, we live in a vast country. Also, it is cheaper to fly to the UK than fly 'back east' Deb

That's it Pat! - A clique of owls! LMHO Deb

deb toronto's the same great place its always been...winter is on its way though, the trees are changing now so its very colourfull, bit chilly and the mornings are dark. your right about the cost of travel, just been looking at the flights home for next year looks like i can do is for less them $600

Oh yes, please let us be a clique.... never been in one of them!!! Pat, Marley seems to be improving - have to take him back on Thursday so hope it's good news! Normally the vet comes to us but my usual vet seems to have gone back to Cuba, she was brilliant a real laugh! But this American guy at the Vet School seems to be pretty good - he even showed us what he had scraped off of Marley in microscope! Yuck!!!! Yvonne.... see ya piccy little Sis! So we both wear glasses too!!! lol Just had my hair cut really short - first time since I've been here. Found a good hairdresser and very cheap!!!! Jacquie xxxx

Sorry - Hi Maryclare..... welcome to our clique!!! That's one thing I miss... Autumn!! The changing colours of the leaves.... we're still in our 'Summer' at the moment... it was 92 degrees today!!! 'Winter' usually drops to about 88 or so!! lol Summer = wet season...... Winter = dry season! Jacquie xxxx

Sorry peeps, had to go and put the washing out to dry :) have to keep up a semblence of hou.... oops sorry. I have been to Vancouver twice and also Toronto although that was a long time ago. We did the Icefields Hightway two years ago. I call it the Ohhhhh Ahhhhhh Highway - magnificent :) Vonny

Vonny, are you talking about the Columbia Icefields?

hi oleander 92 degrees!!!!! and its winter!!!!!!!!!! stop it,,stop it.......stop it we had the best summer this year hot and sunny 'they' tell us its going to be a mild winter, time will tell

yes, We went from Calgary to Jaspar then across country and down through Whistler to Vancouver. We have very good friends who live in High River so we all went together. Marvelous. I went Zip trekking at Whistler - have the photos to prove it :)

well thats me done for the day.i realy do need my beauty sleep. nite nite all maryclare

Jacquie 92 degrees lol Today here it was grey and dull all day, yesterday was sunny and bright and even warm, well by our standards it was warm for Autumn. I do love the changing colours of the seasons Spring and Autumn being particularly beautiful just wish Winter was shorter in Ireland it seems longer than London :-( thats long enough. I am pleased Marley is getting better. Don't think I would really want to see what they scraped off him Jacquie best you saw it LOL You must keep in touch Jacquie. Clique of Owls oh like that ;-) Hi MaryClare missed saying hello to you. Sorry but I'm off to bed now kids for school in the morning its 3.15am here. Goodnight and Good morning to all lovely to see everyone. Pat x

Night Pat and Maryclare.... Methinks I will have an early ish night.... 10.25pm here. Night all I will try and catch you all tomorrow!! Jacquie xxxx

Night one and all. i had better get dressed as the kids will be home for lunch from Uni and I will still be where they left me - at the computer in my dressing gown LOL See you later :) Vonny

Night MaryClare, Vonny, Whistler!!! That's where we go for our 'Girley Weekends' LOL I think that another one is due any time now! We went to the Columbia Icefields 20 years ago. My Aunty (who is younger than me) came out here on her Honeymoon- along with my Nan. I was to be the Matron of Honor at the wedding until someone (who is now 6' 5') spoilt the fun. I was pregnant for the time of the wedding, so no Matron for me! I had a 2 week old when they came here. I wasn't going to go camping , but my Nan said if I didn't go then neither would she! So needless to say I went! Deb

Deb, next time you are there all go Zip Trekking. i'ts expensive but what a blast :) Vonny
