My Very Own Curling Rink

Wee Curling Rink

I bought a curling rink for only $5 last week. Admittedly it will fit on top of the kitchen table with room to spare for chips and a drink. It even came with rocks and wee little brooms. There will be curling at our house for Canada Day. Let's hope I am better at this than I was at the real thing.

Canadian Club on the Rocks

No this isn't my new favouite drink. The Canadian Club is a group Gavin and I have joined that, funnily enough, meets in an area of Sydney called 'the Rocks'. They meet once a month for drinks. Some months there are other events such as bush walks, wine nights, and picnics. The group seems to be mostly made up of Canadians and their Aussie partners though there are also a few Canadians over here for work and even a few Aussies who just love Canada. We've been along to a couple of meetings, met some nice people, and, gosh darnit, I just love hearing a familiar accent.
