Life, she goes on

So I have been keeping myself relatively busy these past few months... Its been a bit of an effort, but it can be done! I am really creating this post as a brief outline, I will have to come back later and bloat each of these into a decent story, but until then.... deal with it!

We had our departmental retreat a few weeks back just north of Toronto in a place called Nottawasaga... It was mostly training, with a few good networking opportunities. There are some photos which I will try and upload.

I was then involved in a Cancer Charity walk, which lasts 12 hours. A team has to have someone walking around a track for the full 12 hours (its a symbolic thing) and we raised money. Was tiring as I had just finished a full days work and then I didnt sleep!! Anyways it felt good to do something like that.

On the charity side, my church small group is in the process of making blankets to help re-habilitate released prisoners... Old jeans are donated to this place and we cut them up and make a quilt. We are not very good at this and have yet to finish one!!

My office had its "golf day" the other day, which was fun. We went to an out of town course, at a resort town called Gimli. I enjoyed beating a few balls, losing a lot of balls and just generally having a good time. I think it is more of a firm sponsored drinking day, coz they were handing out baileys on the bus ride out there!

This weekend, I am probably taking part in my first rugby match, which is bloody scary, coz I am not fit enough, and I am pretty sure I will be one of the smallest players on the pitch. Couple that with the fact that a few of the players do not know the rules well, so they may assume you can just tackle whoever you want like i american football... Oh well, I'm just going to try not to break anything!
