Monday 3rd. Labour Day.


Labour Day is a bank holiday in Canada as it is in the USA. Although there is always something to do here, Labour day doesn't appear to be celebrated in any particular fashion. So today we decided to go to Stanley park, play some golf then go to the beach. However the first part of our plan was foiled by the man who looks after the pitch and putt, as it would appear that he was 'on strike until further notice', at last our first unhappy Canadian. Never mind, so we headed off to the beach instead. Nix and I sat on the beach and reflected upon the week that had passed, something we had not done since we had arrived here and as we recounted all the madness we had been through, the boys grubbed around on the beach as only they can do.

So Labour day turned out to be anything but laborious and we all retired nice and early to our beds hoping that tomorrow would bring us word from School District 44, as tomorrow was the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.......
