Sorry to be posting out of chronological order here but I've only just got back my unlimited internet access here at this hostel in Seattle.Anyway the Christmas in Kananaskis was great. And we did have snow on Christmas morning. The photo on the left was first thing Christmas morning. It was snowing. Even if it's hard to see going by the photo. And yes our snowman had seen better days by this stage. He had originally suffered from a head splitting headache before getting headless. He had no legs to get legless. Staff did that for themselves.
Dinner in the evening had been prepared by one of the chefs. Hence a big thanks goes out to Anthony. He managed to cook for 25 of us using limited utensils. Of course the night was also helped along by the fact another of the Chefs managed to receive a keg of beer which was apparently bad. We all didn't have a problem with the taste after an initial freezing problem when hooking it up.
Of course we did a not-so-secret Santa. People just couldn't keep secrets here.
But of course the other highlight was we got coverage of the Boxing Day Test. Now I'm not usually one to sit down through 7 hours of test match cricket but when it's being viewed from a projector, downloaded from the internet, in backwater Canada then you can't but respect the game by at least watching a few overs. Alas for Tom, the only English resident in the staff Manor, it was not a good night. He was left to constantly revise down his target of what he'd be happy to see England reach, and then also receive constant taunts from the 50 Australians either watching or passing through.
