Plucky Penguins in seventh heaven

Jordan Stall scores early in the second period. He comes from a good Dutch CRC family, so you gotta cheer for him. Game 7 goes on Friday night.

Go Pens!

Mile '0' marker and Terry Fox statute

Debra and I went for a Sunday drive along Dallas Road and through Beacon Hill Park. The statute of Terry Fox was unveiled a year or two ago.

Goose trail to Thetis Lake

It is most enjoyable spending time with my eldest son on our Sunday bike rides. We also try and swim together twice a week at night.

Shamrocks 12 - 9 New West

The Victoria Shamrocks are back. After a disappointing year in 2008, the Rocks are out to a 5-0 start to the season and have already taken 2 games from New West who won the WLA last year to represent the west in the Mann Cup (losing out to Brampton). Clayton and I used to go very regularly and after attending last nights game, will certainly try to take in a few more this year.

Good week in the pool

A total of 11 km over 8 times in the pool. I put down 1 minute per 50 meters as a rule.

The new "Uptown" shopping centre

The massive redevelopment of Saanich’s 47-year-old Town and Country Shopping Centre is easily the most significant construction project on southern Vancouver Island.

Uptown coming out of the ground.

Ok, now it is HOT!

Victoria melts heat record

Expect another scorcher today with a high of 29 degrees in the forecast.

Greater Victoria set a new temperature record yesterday as unseasonably hot weather continues to scorch the region.

Environment Canada said the high of 30 degrees, reached between 5 and 6 p.m., surpassed the previous record for the day -- 27 degrees, set in 1978.

The average temperature for this time of year is 18 degrees.

Nice weather forecast!!

Me, I love this weather. My family, gives it mixed reviews.
