Anne and I had a busy but useful weekend. Friday night we joined the Usual Suspects for dinner at Joyce's. Maddy apparently used up most of her sick baby fitfulness during the day, so was able to make an appearance and steal the limelight once again. Ian cooked up a very nice chicken dish and we finished the evening by drinking the bottle of ice wine I'd given them as an engagement present.

On Saturday Anne and I wet up to Sporting Life and fought through the S.U.V.-born crowds to the cross-country ski department, where she got a complete package for a not-unreasonable price. We picked up the skis yesterday, and are looking forward to getting out next weekend and hopefully heading to Guelph the weekend after. We also stopped at Future Shop and picked up a new microwave for me, to finally replace the old dead one. The new one is sleek and very nice, and thank-you's to Mum & Dad and Grandpa for the Christmas cash that paid for it!

Other than that, not much else happened. We watched Alien and Aliens on Saturday (and Anne showed considerably more backbone than Dave Lasby at the scary bits). We played Scrabble (and Anne won). We played on the computers (Anne on Civilization 3 while I started a new campaign in Europa Universalis, and this time conquered the Scots right off the bat).
