With the rain continuing to fall, people keep telling us we should be used to it as we are from England. So we looked into the data: Vancouver sees between 2 and 3 times more rain than London in a year! We didn’t sign up for that!
To avoid the weather, we have started beginner ice skating lessons. Neither of us feel that comfortable on the ice yet, especially with Canadians whizzing past us, but hopefully with 3 x 45 minute sessions we will be a modern version of Torvill and Dean…or not…
Rosie was the first one to fall over in lesson #1.
Last Saturday, we also did an escape room. This suits our skills much better and, after a questionable start, we managed to escape with plenty of time to spare. It was themed around arcade games and it had us playing multiple team games to unlock clues. We will likely do all of the escape rooms in Vancouver if the October weather is anything to go by.
It’s been a while since we’ve been for a walk and the waterfalls must be looking pretty impressive with all this precipitation, so perhaps we will brave a trip outside this weekend.

Perhaps you could start a new business venture with your many skills… Escape room on ice! Although I think Ollie might need to work on moving his arms a little more… (How did he spin without moving his legs or seeming to lean?!)
I propose a new sign on the outskirts of the city to warn people of the rainy calamity: “Welcome to Vancouver. Chance of precipitation 100%”

Ollie doesn’t know either!
Problem is nobody would be able to see the sign through all of the rain…

You should compare Vancouver’s rainfall with West Coast of Scotland, not London.
You could play Escape Island, choosing between hiking, rock climbing, skating, cycling, kayaking, dingy sailing, windsurfing to arrive safely.

We compared it with Glasgow! 900 mm yearly in Glasgow vs 1200 mm in Vancouver.
