Monique has been taking us to the University Club for years and while it's a great all year setting it does have one of the nicest terraces for outdoor dining around and we are a little short of them in Victoria. We decided to join the club ourselves since it's very reasonable and handy for Jim when he's doing research at U. Vic and they have a super pool table so already we've had a few meals and games and he's had pool games and lunches with others. I'm not quite sure why we didn't join it years ago.

A cool pleasant view but no baby ducklings so far this year...lots more eagles around so perhaps they got them. It seems the crows are the only ones to really discourage the eagles. We've recently seen various eagles being dive bombed by crows while sitting on our deck lately. Very effective as the eagles get out of the area as soon as they can.
The turtles are still there...I guess they don't have many predators.
