They were filming the new Marvel Superhero movie Newtman on campus today. He is equally at home in water or on land. But will dry up if you leave him out too long.

Dedication
or stupidity. One of the two. Daughter bringing Brandy in during stupid driving rain today. Unlike a dog who can curl up on the sofa, horses require you to get out on days like today.
End of the run
Went to see Cardiff Devils play the Nottingham Panthers tonight. The Devils were aiming for 13 games unbeaten at home, but we lost. The Panthers were the better team, although it was 4-3 to them with 7 minutes to go and we were pushing for an equaliser. They scored and then we collapsed to 7-3. Oh well.
Welsh hills
Took Pip for a walk up the forest today. After all those snowy mountains in Kamloops the welsh hills are not as dramatic, but have their own charm.
A lover sings
I am a big Billy Bragg fan, and on the basis that no-one else will treat me for Christmas, I bought his recent book A Lover Sings for myself. It is a collection of his lyrics, and discussion around the songs. I got a signed copy too. He really is a fine lyricist.
Canada swag
Travelled back today from OpenEd and got home about 7pm. No trip is complete without some form of ceramic ware, so I got this Tom Thomson mug and this cute tea pot.
View from TRU
The view from Thompson Rivers after snowfall. Doesn’t look like Milton Keynes

Spend a good working with people at Thompson Rivers University. It was proper Canadian weather (well maybe not -30, so not real, real Canadian weather, but snowy)
Red bridge
I flew to Kamloops today as I’m spending a couple of days at Thomson Rivers University. Had a walk down by the river this afternoon. This is the Red Bridge originally built in 1887.
Canucks
Went to see the Vancouver Canucks play Chicago Blackhawks tonight with Brian Lamb and Clint Lalonde. The Canucks won 6-3 with a hat trick from Daniel Sedin. It was fantastic
