Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Laughably enough, a friend of mine (my wife) was also taken into hospital yesterday. She's a tall (fairly) slim lady of 64, a retired school teacher and until yesterday in good health. She had what we now know was a trip on a rut in the paving, resulting in an awkward fall onto concrete, now being called concussion and two fractured elbows by the brain surgeons and the fracture clinic doctors.
Marron, eh?

This house must be on the ugliest I've seen. I took a detour while in Montreal recently to see it.

Looks like we will start off going to Victoria since they have better mental health services. Victoria is still lower cost rent vs Vancouver which is the only other option mental health wise, then in a couple years move to a more lower cost region.
Looking at it on Google Earth, it looks like there's a nice bit of woodland right next to it - not huge, but at least a bit of greenery!
Worth contacting them in advance maybe? It's not long til January! It looks like the physical address is 1150 Esplanade, by the way.
Edited to add, that might be a dodgy advert - these are luxury condo's Robins Grove

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Good spot. I grew up about 10 km from where they filmed that show. The look of the towns is virtually identical from where I lived (Hadfield vs Hayfield, Derbyshire). Back when BBC Canada was actually worth watching I would watch that show and actually think the channel was worth subscribing to.
