Seven Bays and seventeen year olds

30 June, 2018 James ForemanFitness

This morning I went to Seven Bays Bouldering, a climbing gym in Halifax on Gottingen Street, to climb with the teenage son of one of our friends from Dartmouth. Just like when I went to[…]

On and on and on

29 June, 201829 June, 2018 James ForemanTravel

Today I borrowed a red Toyota Prius-C and drove it a couple of hundred kilometres. It’s an acceptable car for driving long distances on a freeway; the soundproofing isn’t great, but it’s got cruise control[…]

A sunny day in Halifax

28 June, 2018 James ForemanTravel

We got up early and took the first ferry from Dartmouth to Halifax. In my dreams. As usual, a lot of lollygagging went on, so much so that a 9:30 planned start meant sprinting to[…]

Ocean’s 8

27 June, 201829 June, 2018 James ForemanFilm

After putting the kids to bed, we drove out to Dartmouth Crossing, a retail park a few miles away from where we’re staying, where we always try to catch a film during our visit. Memorable[…]

Peggy’s Cove, cankles and meat

24 June, 201826 June, 2018 James ForemanTravel

I woke up this morning with a fuzzy head and no ankles. My legs had swollen so much on the flight they were just sausage shapes from knee to toe. This is possibly good for[…]

Lost in transit?

23 June, 2018 James ForemanTravel

The plane got slower and slower, until it finally arrived two hours and 42 minutes late. The flight attendants were rather confusing; I saw one going around with a sheet of paper with all the[…]

Stuck in transit again

23 June, 201823 June, 2018 James ForemanTravel

It was raining hard at Hong Kong. The descent was bumpy enough that I heard people crying out in fear, and although the usual miracle of commercial flight meant we landed safely, the heavy weather[…]

An ecstasy of fumbling – Canadian edition

22 June, 2018 James ForemanTravel

I didn’t sleep much last night, partly because I was worried that I would oversleep and miss my flight, and partly because I stayed up watching the incredibly crap Day Of The Dead: Bloodline movie[…]
