Hello Ian. You work in engineering? I bet that is a great job with lots of benefits! Good for you
I ended up taking my kids to the park last night because there was a band playing. My son really loves music and he isn't shy at all, he just danced the whole time, nobody else was dancing, hehe. He is cute and so full of life.
I have been all over North America, although America is beautiful, I enjoy Canada a lot more - less populated, colder. You should come here! I really want to go to Scotland, England, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Scandanavia, ect. but I also want to visit Japan, Australia, New Zealand. I want to go everywhere! Hopefully someday I wont have to feel so confined and I can get out and live a little.
Take care!
