woah nelly! where have the days gone?!

hola! :)

it is beginning to get chillier here in calgs, in fact apparently it's officially autumn on the 21st. dang. but last weekend was divinely hot :) (you never can tell here). we took advantage of the blue blue sky and went floating down elbow river on our big blow-up bed! using our jandals to paddle around the trecherous rocks and branches, it was a very exciting ride! it was so incredibly rad. we drifted down-river for about an hour then tied ourselves to a tree so we could just float there soaking up the rays. aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. then we clambered out onto the bank, deflated our bed, rolled it up and walked all the way back to the car. sunday was just as gorgeous, so we went to glenmore reserve - a big lake surrounded in beautiful reserve land, right here in the city. we biked around 16km around the lake, keeping our eyes peeled for the bear that the signs warned of.

last wednesday it was pori's 30th! (despite his protests). we invited some of his friends around after work for pizza, beer, red wine and chocolate birthday cake smothered in m&ms. it was a really good evening and we were finally able to 'christen' the apartment with a little party :). i think he had a rad time even considering there were 30 candles on the cake ;).

the weekend before that we headed out to boundary ranch in kananaskis country and went horseriding for a couple of hours at the foot of the rockies. it was pori's first time ever on a horse and he was a total natural - next time we'll have to bring his cowboy hat coz dang he looks good on a horse :). my horse, nugget, was a little crazy and required a bit of concentration to keep in check, but that just makes things a bit more fun :)

and now i better go make dinner. g'night! xx

oh yeah, i added a couple of albums to my gallery that illustrate the above :)
