One year and five days
I've been here for one year and five days now:
The downs: - that one call (or email) that nobody wants to get, and no chance to get back. - living with a roomie instead of having my own place like I did. - the hassle of having to reaquire stuff. - moving house when roomie bought a place The UPS - started my own business (http://webs.scentedalchemy.com if anyone's interested) which was far, far, far easier than either the UK or NL. Even with Health Canada registration! - live in a very nice place now - prospect of a house next year - finished 9 months probation, and am on 1 year in my day job tomorrow! And its a step up from where I was in teh UK! - almost everything I needed to replace, is replaced (car will be this month, and that's it! ) - got a very good social circle, with medieval society, and writers group locally - lovely blue skies and dry air are doing wonders for my mood this winter, so that looks like a 'here to stay' feature. One year in, i'm well settled and happy and getting on with my life. :thumbup: |

Re: One year and five days
I'll be on skype as soon as we have 'Net at the new place....one more year and I can get my place! wooohoo! Can't believe the year went this fast!
The only other downside was confirming a no gluten diet is the only way to go for me, but that would have happened in any country, so I'm not blaming hte Canucks for that! |

Re: One year and five days
Sue, I'm a good little dutch girl, i'll never give up my bike ;-) But I might upgrade it to a good little girls bike instead of a mountainbike with a basket on it.
Dave and Jules - thank you! Journeyman, Thanks for the thoughts on the website - I'll work on that a bit! And yes, I have a table at the farmers market, all 24 of them (and the week before at the senior center in center nord. ) I must be mad! Still, a few weeks after start I can test my new shaving soap...with clay in it. |
