It finally happened! Six months after my arrival in Canada, we now have a place we can call our own. For some weeks past we had found living in a house with others and having the use of only one room to be quite a challenge, and a nerve straining experience. When the pressure was applied, we searched for an appartment in a hurry, and found a spacious and quite pleasant one within shooting distance of our current abode. It fits the bill in many respects, with most of our costs included in the rent; right opposite are butcher, baker, fishmonger, dentist and chocolatier; for more urgent occasions, there is a dépanneur (off-licence in the UK!) just across the road; it is convenient for our buses, and for almost all the regular shops; not only this, but being on the top floor means that we will not be disturbed by people trampling overhead, and we will benefit from the heat of the appartments below.
This week we have been moving in our new stuff, and tomorrow things start happening in earnest when we begin redecorating.
More updates will follow as and when we have time!
