Today is several things. Today is daylight savings time and I forgot to change my clock. And it’s not the good kind of forgetting like in the spring when you have an iron clad excuse for being an hour late for work or school. It’s the kind of forgetting that makes you an hour early for work! (Or in my case, 2 hours early. I … Continue reading Daylight Waste of Time [October 25, 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]
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
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.

Arrived in London 35 minutes early (11:25 AM). Got my luggage without a hitch, though it was dirty and still wet with Toronto rain. Took the tube to King’s Cross immediately. Between baggage claim and travel time, I arrived at the train station at 10 to 2. Bought a ticket to York and caught the 2 PM train! Arrived in York at 4 PM. Called … Continue reading Day One [September 27, 2009]
It’s raining so luggage loading was delayed. I wonder if they keep pet cages sitting in the rain? The people sitting next to me are a small Asian girl and her punk boyfriend. He’s got an ungelled mohawk and she’s got a chain-strapped purse that she’s refusing to take off her shoulder. He’s reading a large book called “Cronenberg on Cronenberg” and she’s reading a … Continue reading On the Flight [September 26-27, 2009]
Today is November 1st. I moved to England, roughly, one month and four days ago. This entire blog is dedicated to my mum. I know it was really hard for her to let me leave, but I’m happy she did, and I wanted to do this for her because I want to keep her (and my dad) as informed of my life as if I … Continue reading One month and four days
