H-to-the-J's

Month: July 2003

  • Mum stayed with me for a few days on our return to England, it took us a while to get back into line time wise. On the Fri eve we went to see an outdoor production of “The Merchant of Venice” performed by Illium (I think) players at one of the local schools. It was…

  • Today I got back from the 2003 World Electronic Music Festival. Mike, his friend Ryan, and I had a great time partying there. It was in a place called Tweed, Ontario (near Belleville) at Trudeau’s Park. The venue was really crappy, and all the DJs played inside in this little cabin with no air conditioning,…

  • Let’s roll this up now! We slept in a little on our last Sat. in Port Orchard, then went into town where we browsed the market and shops, and later met Therese and Bernadette. Mum and I took off to get some photos developed and then ended up at the Cylkowski home. Andrew, Daryl and…

  • On Friday the 4th July it was Bernadette and Joseph’s official 50th Wedding Anniversay. We rose early and made our way to their house where we picked up Christine and Brian on our way to the church in the town of Bremerton where B. and J. where having a blessing during the daily mass. It…

  • Victoria, B.C. What a beautiful city! We took the boat across from somewhere in Washington! It was about an hour and you dock right in downtown Victoria. Joseph and bernadette had booked us into a wonderful hotel, with views over the harbour, we had a suite as their were 7 of us. Bernadette, Joseph, Therse,…

  • More about Seattle…… On the Mon we all went over to cousin Andrew’s house to visit with him, it is a great old house which he has done up really nicely, we just hung out with everyone. Charlotte, very kindly, took us around to her place which is a converted church, it is spectacular inside,…

  • To Continue…….. We had a wonderful welcome when we got to Bernadette and Joseph’s house in Port Orchard. My cousins were already there: Therese, Eric, Bryan and of course Christine. Because they had such a house full, mum and I stayed in the town of Port Orchard at a Holiday Inn Express. This was a…

  • Mum and I arrived back from Seattle on 9th July and it has taken me until now to get sorted out. Mum and dad arrived on 23rd June because we wanted to have some time for mum to rest before the 9hr flight to Seattle. Dad brought her down and we went around the area…

  • The hot hot summer is rolling on here, and all without air conditioning! It is getting to the point here where we are considering investing in something called the portable AC unit – sounds interesting, though I don’t think it’s the personal, backpack type yet? Shouldn’t complain though, as this appears to be likely one…

  • I got back from Seattle a couple of weekends ago. Yeesh, it’s already been two weeks? That went by really fast. Before I know it, I’m going to be back in school. I haven’t even done any relaxing yet, this summer! The trip to Seattle (well, I suppose it was Manchester just outside of Seattle)…
