Well done on your weight loss this week............I hope you behaved yourself when you ate out ;-)

So it seems flats, luxury appartments are not restricted to the UK!

Everywhere you here, they throw them up, mainly in and around the city centre. The private ones cost a fortune and usually sit at the side of busy traffic....give me green and birds any day

Then of course, there are the student appartments.....thousands of em as we have two very large Unis here in the city

Hi Sylvia,

No, OH had passed it lots of times and thought it looked nice.

It was a shame, that was all as he organsied it all and he really wanted a nice meal!

never mind, Gracie had a lovely time playing with two other little girls she found so it was nice to spend time together and not have to rush off somewhere!

Finally having a small break from the heat for today, then it starts to climb again tomorrow :-(

Hi Grace


Happy birthday to OH

It's always disappointing when places don't come up to expectations! Had you been there before?

Hi everyone,

Sylvia glad the funeral went well.

It's awful when the planning people are allowed to do what they want. We have lost so many nice older houses because they can cram modern blocks of apartments that are soo bland and are just put up quick as...

Had weigh in yesterday and lost 2.1 pounds in my first week, happy with that so far!

Went out for dinner last night with OH and monster as it was his birthday. Place was packed. Unfortunately the food was quite expensive and not the best we have ever eaten. Luckily they had tables outside so when we finished we sat out in the cool breeze and monster played in a big swing/slide area for ages.

Perhaps, when you come over in the next year or so we can all make an effort and book into a hotel somewhere for an evening ?

SAVE MY COFFEE SHOP!!


I NEED MY SOYA LATTES!!

It's such a shame that I didn't know you a few years ago when I visited Vancouver - It would have been very nice to meet up !

The coffee shop owner IS worried about the next year or so ..... whether she can continue to make enough money to pay her bills, etc. They are making more lunch and early dinner type meals ............. home-made soups, chili, steak pies, etc etc ..... so that may help them.


It is a lot of disruption, and not one I'm looking forward to.



The site was identified a couple of years ago as one of about 10 sites suitable for potential development IF that development included lower rent apartments .... something that is desperately needed in Vancouver.


But like all developers ..... the architect has fitted in the minimum number of such apartments ........... all the rest will go at "market prices".

I don't know whether any of them will be for sale .......... probably!


Also, it does have the potential to completely change the character of the area ............... most of the buildings along the main road for about a mile or so, are what we call low rise ......... single or 2 storey buildings.


You can just see the gleam in the eyes of those landowners ......... let's get together 3 or 4 or 10 buildings in a row, then redevelop with higher buildings, with apartment on the upper floors and shops at ground level.
