It's 9.25 on the 7th of July. There's been a very welcome change of pace here in Victoria, as I'm sure you've noticed from my last blog. We've had a chance to kick back and relax here after the craziness of Toronto and The Rockies. It does mean however, there isn't so much to write about so these blogs will be a little shorter for a while.
So Saturday. Donna and Bob had booked us in for the museu...

Interesting to read of your progress westwards and its sudden stop by the Pacific. Even from West Sussex, one gets a real sense of the huge distances you have travelled from the snowy beginnings in Quebec. Loved the description of the pugs running in, out and then back in again! That dizziness you had sounds less fun and one suspects a labyrinthine virus or similar. I'm very pleased that it has cleared up. Enjoying the Ben Howard album although the tracks haven't yet taken on full definition: will need to listen to it a few more times for that to happen. However - so far - the track 'Black Flies' really stands out and builds up brilliantly. Will give you my further thoughts and evaluation on both that and the GA album in due course. Over here, we have just had the pleasure of the first fully Conservative budget for 18 years. Despite all the media cheerleader puffery about George Osborne being the most brilliant Chancellor and the greatest political strategist of all time, a reading of the small print quickly reveals that poor people have been absolutely hammered by the withdrawal of tax credits. Only trouble is that we have not got any effective opposition at present. Hope that the rest of your time on the island goes well and look forward about hearing about Seattle and then that amazing train journey down towards San Francisco. Dad
