It’s sad that I can only post that I am not dead. However, blogger has eaten my “substantive” post twice and we are moving houses at the end of October which is eating up any free time I may have had.
Anyway, check back in mid-November. Hopefully something will have happened here by then!
We just found a new place to live in which will become “home” sometime in November. No, we are not buying – no one without a serious cash injection can afford to buy property (by which I mean a house and land) in Vancouver right now.
We’ll be renting 2 floors of a character home straddling the east/west side Vancouver border. It’s off of any major streets and offers us a much better layout. Both bedrooms are upstairs and this will be much more kid-friendly. The house also offers such novel concepts as a huge kitchen (with dishwasher!) and a separate dining room. If you know our current home, you’ll understand why these two features are so attractive. And, though too late for this season, there is a large sundeck and a lovely garden (which we do not have to tend — good news for the garden).
As if life weren’t busy enough… it just got totally crazy!
Pictures will no doubt follow at some point once the craziness subsides.
Hey, I have my first ever photo event shoot. An acquaintance asked if I would shoot a charity gala she’s organizing and after some thought I agreed. It’s for charity, so I won’t be earning any cash (instead, I get a tax receipt), but it’s an excellent learning opportunity.
Unfortunately, there will need to be cash spent from my end to get a much-needed flash and extra memory card.
