It is still 2017 here in Calgary, but only for another 45mins - currently -29C with a -38C windchill. All the outdoor celebrations have been cancelled and I have another 6 3/4 hrs at work, should go...
Watched a charming independent Canadian film the other day -
How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town
:eagerness:
I've not got any in my collection right now, but here are a few photos of the ones I did once have and let go, which in hindsight was a dumb thing to do - sigh
...
We went to see Patriots Day last week, and followed it the very next day with Lion. Both excellent films in their own way. :eagerness:
Just getting ready for a busy weekend, working both tonight - Friday 13th, full moon(ish) and it's getting warmer (will only be -11C tonight) - and I get to it all again tomorrow - deep joy!!!
I...
Apologies, no picture as I am at work. This week, wearing my new arrival - Bulova Apollo 15 Special Edition on the bracelet. It is a weighty piece of kit, well made and I'm very happy with it...
I scooped one up from the Canadian site on Boxing Day for $449 which is $300 less than RRP. It is on my wrist right now and I'm very happy with it :eagerness:
It has been a while since I've been around on a Friday to post, and today I'm wearing this - my first Seamaster

10 days in May - 5th to the 15th.
May 5 saw the mandatory evacuation of Fort McMurray in northern Alberta as the largest, most destructive wildfire in Canadian history raged around the city. On...
When I'm back in the UK, I miss driving down the road and seeing mountains pretty much as far as the eye can see :love_heart:
Welcome from the Great White North
Although, the snow has all gone now :eagerness:
No argument from me, I love them and have had many different variants over the years, but the two that have survived the longest are these -
My very first expensive watch - bought in 2000 after...
We have had plenty of snow in the mountains to the west of the city, but it dumped it all there, and dissipated before getting to Calgary. It is not a complaint after a couple of really long winters,...
I've had a few in my time, and all have gone to other homes, which in hindsight is something I shouldn't have done, but you learn from these things, but I still have a few photos to remind me of the...
Another one Mrs Bond and I like is Blue Bloods :eagerness:
We've had a really mild winter - not had any snow since January, and last week we broke temperature records with a daytime high of 28C.
Well into my 5th year of living in Calgary now, and I've read the replies with interest. I can honestly say that is not a lot I really miss. The food, beer and wine here are top notch - Canada is...
A couple I've enjoyed recently here in Canada - Lucifer, about the devil leaving hell and sets up a hot nightclub in Los Angeles, and somehow gets mixed up in a police investigation, and then starts...
It has been a couple of years since Mrs Bond and I were there, but here are the highlights we enjoyed -
Pike Place Market - including having a coffee in the very first Starbucks - if you have...
I seem to be alternating between these two at the moment, and this week I have my 2254 on :eagerness:

New (to me) car picked up last Friday, and whilst not as exotic as some of the vehicles on these pages, I've always wanted one and it is very practical for the Canadian winter.
Dolphin Grey over...
It's been a very long time since I've posted on the Friday thread, but this week I've mostly been wearing this -

And later,...
For me, in Return of the Jedi, when the Falcon goes into the bowels of the Death Star, hits its target and then races for the exit with the explosion in hot pursuit :eagerness:
Another vote for the blue :eagerness:
One of the advantages of living in Canada, there are absolutely no French cars sold here :smug:
Sorry, can't offer any advice, haven't lived in the UK for some years now, and I would have no idea...
