wow-wow-wee-wow, it's been a while!

Time here is flying - and i'm not entirely sure where it's disappearing to! It's February, and it's unseasonably warm in Banff - today we're on a happy high of plus 5, which is bizzare - it's like summer outside!

After my last post saying work has calmed down, I take it back. The hotel is still relatively quiet, but I've been picking up shifts left, right and centre - I now work for 4 of 5 departments within food and beverage in the hotel! I worked in Eden as a hostess on Saturday night - it's our super fancy 5diamond french restaurant (one of only 10 five diamond restaurants in Alberta)... so the tips from that will hopefully keep me afloat for a little bit!

While I'm on shop talk - we've finally hired 2 new hostesses (well, one hostess and one host) for the primrose - which means I should get my "weekends" back! They're both crazy canadians and good fun!

The hill has been pretty icy lately (due to no new snow) so I haven't been up for about a week and a half... my snowboard is feeling a bit neglected. But my friend Will has hooked me up with a 1/2 price lift ticket for SUnshine (one of the other hills here), so I'm heading up there on Thursday... and it's meant to snow for the next 3 days, so hopefully I'll have some fresh powder to play in!

Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday (which means pretty much nothing to me...) so I went to the pub for the obligitory 1/2 hour to watch a game I can't say I'll ever really get in to. I'm battling a cold at the moment, so it was my excuse for a quick escape!

I hope all of you back home have a happy Waitangi Day - I'm working a split shift so will have no time to celebrate... and being that there are only 2 kiwis in the hotel (and only about 6 in the whole of Banff) I don't think we'll be living up to the Aussie's standards - they all get pretty crazy on Australia Day!

I'll post again soon - when I've done something exciting worth telling you about!

Also have loaded a whole bunch of new photos onto my flickr site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/48847309@N00/) so check them out!
