Yes, it was. I took it just before the Chuck Wagon races.

The weather turned bitterly cold an hOur later.

Opening day parade through downtown Calgary
is a sight to see. It seems endless but not tiresome. Always fun when a celebrity rolls by in an open car.

Sorry I gave out the wrong channel. It was on Dave - Freeview 19 or Sky 111. I think another episode in the series will be on next week. This links to the blurbs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nqhwl/episodes/guide

I wish I'd heard of this series before now. Hopefully there are DVDs for hire.

Many thanks for that. We are always on the lookout for good programmes on geography (my college subject), natural history of all sorts, science of all sorts (the simpler non-maths type stuff that New Scientist magazine tends to have). It's easy to miss programmes now there are so many.

The European Football Cup Final was a great match. Well played. Spain 4 Italy 0. Loved seeing the players' children run out onto the pitch after the match.

That sort of thing happening in a match is great. The bit about football that is so off-putting is the spitting...

Yup, and ,I'm sorry to say, overpaid players who don't really produce the results. We have a lot to learn.
