Who told Mother Nature about our capitalist overlords and why is she punishing us using their arbitrary pattern of free and indentured time!?
We had a bit of a sulk last weekend (excluding zoom gigs and catch-ups!) but luckily it’s getting lighter in the evenings. On Monday, we snuck off work slightly early and walked up another hill near Dog Mountain, Brockton Peak. This one was a bit steeper and Rosie did lots of complaining, but forgot she was grumpy once we got to the top!
This one is right next to the Mount Seymour ski resort, you essentially walk up alongside others on the chairlift. You get more sweaty than them, but it’s free! We saw lots of back-country skiers “skinning” up and heading into the scary looking avalanche terrain, but we stayed on the safe flatter bits.
Most people walk up to watch the sun set over the pacific before sliding back down in the dark. Rosie had packed the head torches, but Ollie doesn’t like sunsets, so we went down before the main event.
The board game shop benefitted from another rainy weekend. We are exploring the escape room genre, moving on from “Exit” to “Unlock”. So far, we prefer “Exit”. “Unlock” doesn’t seem as smooth and you have to use an app, which isn’t required with the clever “Exit” mechanism. But we’ve only played one so far, so will reserve judgement.
Next week is Easter and we get the Friday off (but not the Monday, no fair!). We might brave some snowy camping – not sure if we’ll have phone signal so we apologise in advance if your update is a bit late. Until next time!

Does Ollie not like Sunsets… or does Ollie not like sliding down mountains in the dark with a grumpy Rosie. Cos the last one is sensible, the first one is just sad.
I am glad that you are enjoying a bit of the weekday sunshine. If mother nature is a capitalist then she at least needs to supply the correct PPE. I am shocked.
I hope you enjoy your camping and that a bear doesn’t play a game of “unlock” with your food supply (contrary to popular belief Bears have smartphones and quite like an app based game).

I think you’ll find Bears have very little brain and can’t work smart phones. We have to get Roo to help us.

We haven’t invited any bears to play with us… awkward…

Ollie does not like waiting around for sunsets, or anything really. As soon as we arrive anywhere, he says “right, shall we go?”
