WINNIPEG IS IN CRISIS!
A few years ago in a little country not very far away, lots of business persons did some business and decided to open a HUGE American style store in little old Winnipeg on the site of the old Bomber stadium. This was 'Targets' foray into the Canadian consumer shopping market. You see, the silly Canadians are suckers for a bargain and were always travelling down to the Un-United States of Uh-merry-Ca in order to buy their slippers, yoga balls and Cow flavoured Onesies from Target stores in Not so Grand - Grand FORKS, Big-Minneapolis and Very Far- Fargo, so teh gredy bugars from Target thought - why not save everyone time and money and open stores right here in quaint little ol Canada.

So they did.
And then they closed them again.
 |
| Target - Closed! |
But now its been turned around into a Winner. Literally....
Winners is the name of the store (along with home sense) that now occupies the old Target store skeleton. Now don't get me wrong - Its great that the store is open and being used for shopping again. But I do wish something more exciting had been opened there.
I had a look around the store the other day and although it looks nice and although it was busy, it just didn't feel like a high end store that I would like to shop in too often...

| It looks like this |
This is what I found when I took a look around...
 |
| Excitement in every aisle |
 |
| Excitement in every....oh wait...nope.... belts |
 |
| Excitement in every....oh wait...nope..casual pants |
Don't get me wrong. I am glad the store is open, but I just wish someone, somewhere would finally do what everyone really wants here in Winnipeg. A huge, big indoor water park, where we can go every weekend to get away from the drudgery of minus 40 in Winter....
Imagine if they turned this
Into this....
In other random Internet stuff - I just came across this awesome post on Facebook.... This is genuine...
Anyone know do they have laptop computers at best buy and how much they are
I wonder how the original poster actually managed to get onto the internet to make the post? I feel a little sorry for him!

In other less exciting news...
We have been doing a bit more work around the house. We borrowed a dremel from Susan and Jon a week ago in order to cut vinyl flooring, which we decided we would lay in our tiny bathroom. It was a bit if a fiddle getting the vinyl around the toilet, so after perusing the Internet I came across method, which consists of drawing an outline around the pedestals and then transferring this to the vinyl plank, which was then cut into shape using the dremel....

Hannah Rose Davey and her amazing drunken dancing.....
So, the little human shaped finger muncher has been growing again. We are onto another set of clothes and have also been out trying on the next thing we need - a decent carrier, as she is beginning to get a little too big for the wrap and as its getting cold we want to be able to wrap her up nicely... So last weekend we found ourselves running around West Coast Kids with a very happy Hannah enjoying her new ride...
After the shop we spent a nice afternoon with Aunty Hayley at her new apartment in the exchange followed by dinner and a couple of drinks at The Yellow Dog. Hannah is now quite used to being in pubs and restaurants and even got up for a table dance, although she was very drunk....
She is growing up fast and we are loving having her around... although at this very moment we are sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for her to fall asleep!
Here are the latest photos of super baby....
Well, I am up at 5.45 tomorrow morning to grab a flight and then a boat to go up to First Nation Reserve that has no roads apart from when the lakes freeze and the ice road truckers visit (Actually Genuine) Its going to be a little bit of an adventure, so I will let you know what happens in the next post. Buff and Ha Na Na will be continuing their own little adventure in Winnipeg learning to crawl, eat their own fingers and maybe sleep through the night (At least Buffy will be learning these!)
