We attended our wedding preparation course on the weekend. It was surprisingly good, entertaining, engrossing and thought-provoking. We feel almost ready now!
After a few more busy and intense weeks both Anne and I got hit with the flu last weekend. I think we’re both on the mend now but we’re still full of sneezes, coughs and snurfs of various kinds. Which is a bit too bad, because it put a bit of a downer on Anne’s […]
A month has past, the blog is gathering dust. But it’s been a busy month. We got our wedding invitations last weekend and will be working on getting them mailed out Really Soon Now. We finished hanging pictures in most of the rooms of our house. We went for a nice ski weekend up north, […]
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, […]

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 […]
Busy week, but we’re continuing to see less of the house as a big pile of boxes, and more as a place to live. Oh yes, and there was a lot of work, too… Tuesday I got flattened by a brief spell of the flu. I had a fever when I woke up in the […]
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 […]
