A Canadian girl who moved to England to pursue adventure! ...who is now back in Canada. Adventure achieved!
First Supper
One of the first nights in the new house I decided to make ruz and lubee, a meal usually fit to serve about 8. I decided that I would invite those of the boys who were in the house to eat with me, since it makes a lot. Little did I know, I’m living with people who, apparently, hadn’t eaten in days and didn’t think … Continue reading First Supper
The hare might be fast but the tortoise gets free rent [October 11, 2009]
The house is slowly becoming more and more complete (emphasis on slowly). Each time I come home from work there is one more thing complete (you’d think after a whole day there’d be more than just one thing, but we take what we can get). The exciting thing that happened recently was the installation of our kitchen faucet (finally, after doing the dishes in my … Continue reading The hare might be fast but the tortoise gets free rent [October 11, 2009]
The Money Pit
Let me explain the housing situation. When I first arrived in England I had no house. Well, it was here, it was just in pieces. Construction on my house has been ongoing since…let’s just say the watch that was keeping track of time ran out of battery. I believe the original plan was the have the house finished and ready to move into by June. … Continue reading The Money Pit
On Break [October 11, 2009]
On break at the Cornish Pasty Bakery – must eat and write fast as I only have 15 minutes. Hmm, working a 9-hour shift and only being given 2 fifteen minute breaks seems somehow unlawful. If we were in Canada I would have two 15 minute breaks and a 1 hour unpaid lunch break. I am not really complaining though, because at the end of … Continue reading On Break [October 11, 2009]
New Plan [October 1, 2009]
The old plan of chili for dinner has been cancelled, the new plan is to have a night out in Leeds! And Ron, Darrell, and I all work together tomorrow. Reflection (from October 5) – Leeds was madness! We missed 2 trains within 5 minutes. Drank in the train station bar for 30 minutes while we waited for the next train. Met a kid named … Continue reading New Plan [October 1, 2009]
Last Night at Jennie’s [September 30, 2009]
Tonight is my last night at Jennie’s; I’m moving into Manhouse in the morning. I’m very excited to get settled. This is ManHouse 2. The house had been so named because at the end of my housemates’ first year at University of York, they all decided to live together the next year, at the time they were 5 guys and thus dubbed the house ManHouse. … Continue reading Last Night at Jennie’s [September 30, 2009]
Darrell is Here! [September 29, 2009]
I had my first pasty today (a small traditional). It was delicious! Must be careful not to get fat eating free pasties at lunch. At Jennie’s – I just used 3-ply toilet paper. While it seemed slightly outrageous (to even have such a thing as 3-ply toilet paper) I also found myself thinking it would be better if it was quilted! :S Day 3 – … Continue reading Darrell is Here!

One Night; In and Out [September 28, 2009]
(With Ron) At a bar called The Maltings with a live band playing Bob Dylan music. Got there at closing time (11 PM). There is a dog here (Lab?Retriever?) He is very shaggy, very blonde, very old, very big, and very cute. He is sleeping at Ron’s feet. It is 2:20 AM and I am in bed at Jennie’s house. We just watched a movie … Continue reading One Night; In and Out [September 28, 2009]
