  1. I loved the original Twister. Twisters was only on the cinemas here for 2 weeks then it went straight to the streaming platform that we don’t have. Enjoy the drive-in - gosh that’s a throwback. Happy Birthday 18th Birthday to your grandson 🎉🎂.
  2. I so wanted to watch this live but live here was 3am and that wasn’t going to happen Hoping I can find a full replay. Interesting that the surfing events are being held in Tahiti and due to there being no hotel at the small village at the surfing location, competitors and officials will be accommodated on board the cargo/cruise ship Arunai 5. This ship offers cruises to the remote islands of Tahiti and I am keen to experience this cruise with my daughter in the future.
  3. Final Jasper update - Due to tremendous work of those on the ground overnight, the main structures in Jasper were saved including the hospital, both schools and treatment plants. Also, very relieved that although the beautiful historic Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge did incur fire damage, most of the structures including the main lodge survived. My son is currently spending today & the weekend with his sister. Thoughts go out to those in Jasper who lost their homes & businesses & thankful to the authorities for evacuating everyone safely well in advance including backcountry hikers
  4. This is my 2nd last post about this because it will be all over the news shortly. The Jasper fire has reached the township. Absolutely devastating. My thoughts are with the firies & the all the responders in Jasper & throughout Canada and the US (and the international crews including from Australia that have joined them) working tirelessly right now. Hope they stay safe.
  5. @Luckynana My son drove from Valemount early yesterday morning to Whistler. He arrived exhausted but his employer has put him up in deluxe accommodation (with valet parking) for the rest of the week. The update today from Jasper NP is not good. Assuming he is not able to return to Jasper, he will travel down to Waterton where he worked last summer. Yes, my daughter is in B.C. They are seeing each today. Although, my son slept in his car, I want to say how wonderful the small community of Valemount is - dealing with a sudden influx of thousands of evacuees from Jasper in the middle of night and co-ordinating somewhere for them to sleep (many in local homes) and providing free meals the next day.
  6. This brought tears. I love that you and your step-daughter have each other and she openly expresses how much you mean to her.
  7. My son is having an eventful evening. His summer job is in Jasper. At 10.30pm his time, an evacuation order went out for the town and Jasper NP due to wildfires. Fortunately, he is smart enough to always have a full tank of petrol in his car. He loaded up the car and with only one road open has driven west and is safely across the border into B.C to the closest town. With poor phone reception and everything being a bit chaotic, he has just decided to sleep in his car until the morning, when he will update us further.
  8. Beautiful photo. Lucky they are in Sydney today and not yesterday. Strong, icy breeze here yesterday. Envy those on board cruising to Singapore or on the return trip later.
