Long summer days=short summer posts.

A few pictures from the last two weeks; visit from my sister and her family (I miss you guys), Metchosin Sheepdog Trial, Butchart Gardens. We also had a lot of great hanging out time, visiting the beach, watching the scene in downtown Victoria on lunch hour, playing with Sam.

Finally, at the end, a scene from my Thursday commute home. From Victoria’s Inner Harbour to Metchosin by bicycle! That’s approximately 24 km (almost 15 miles). It only took me, well, a somewhat leisurely 1 hour and 47 minutes. The great part was that I could take my bike into work on the bus, so I didn’t have to face the steep gravel pit hill first thing in the morning, get to work at 10:30, get all sweaty and bring extra clothes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it does greatly decrease the chances that I would ever actually do that.

Things are still quite busy around here, so it may be a while between posts. Enjoy those long summer days.
