Another busy month, with a lot of activity. We had James Alliston, my cousin from the UK, to stay with us for a few days. He was up from the US where he’s working as an apprentice rider and stablehand at a showjumping stable. He needed to get his visa renewed outside of the country, […]
A happy New Year to everyone! Hard to believe it’s 2004 already, and the vacation time is almost over… It’s been a wonderful and relaxing holiday! Highlights included visits from Anne’s parents, having my sister to stay for a few days, seeing the ROM’s excellent Art Deco show, and lots and lots of video games… […]
We have a Christmas tree!
With all the activity we’ve been up to over the last while — work continues to be busy, and the new house is keeping us hopping — it’s been easy to ignore the holiday looming up on the horizon. No cards have yet been written, and few gifts have been purchased. The Christmas muzak in […]
Anne and I are starting to adjust, slowly, to our new roles as homeowners. This week we’ve got a shed going up in our back yard — rather faster than we’d expected, actually, but it’s going to be great — and we’ve scheduled the closet organizer people to come in and install our closets on […]

Another busy and productive weekend! Friday night, Mum and Dad came in from Guelph to see the new house and take us out to dinner. We had a nice meal up at Omonia on the Danforth, though Dad wasn’t impressed with the greek style of serving meat with potatoes and rice but no vegetables. We […]
Wow, what a busy week we’ve had! The weekend was another whirlwind of boxes, this time involving cats as well. The week has been long and hard for me, and although Anne’s taken the week off work, she’s been working hard on the house for most of the week as well. The house is great, […]
Just two nights left at Wychwood before we move into the new house! Yay!!!
Another Hallowe’en come and gone. We went out for this one, and saw the 1920 black & white movie Nosferatu at the ROM, accompanied by live music courtesy of the Toronto Sinfonietta. We got there early and got great seats. Not the world’s best movie, but it had a couple of creepy bits. Our favourite […]
