Finally some good news !

It's been 3 weeks since I last blogged.
I've been waiting for some good news to blog on, which I finally got today.

So the last 3 weeks....
We moved in on Thurs 2nd (well I moved us in, C just came home to a new place after work !) with no more issues from the movers. They actually turned out to be really cool, even out the beds together for me :-)
Sat 4th we went to the Toronto Islands intending on hiring some pushbikes and cycling round this islands. Unfortunately for us, the islands have closed the touristy stuff for the season.
So C made me walk all over the islands, which was about a 10km walk.
Not much else happened that week, apart from me looking for a job.... and not finding one.

The next weekend (11th/12th/13th) was the long weekend for Canadian Thanksgiving.
C and I spent the weekend in a town called Gananoque in an area called the Thousand Islands.
A really pretty area on the north east side of Lake Ontario, it's about 5 hours from Toronto.
We took a 5 cruise one of the days, 1.5 hours to get to a place called Boldt Castle, 2 hours there, then the 1.5 back.
The catch to this is, that the island Boldt Castle is on - which is a tiny island, holding the castle and nothing else - is an American island.
So every single person on the boat, had to be passed through American customs.
Seriously.
Because I've never been in the states, I was the very last person processed.
I was fingerprinted, had fill out their standard 'are you a Nazi ?/Have you been convicted of anything ?' questionnaire.
So I'm now in the US database....
Very scary.

We came back on Monday afternoon as we'd been invited to dinner by one C's colleagues for a real Canadian Thanksgiving.
The turkey was really nice and I got my first taste of pumpkin pie.
The pie didn't taste anything like pumpkin, it was a cinnamon based flavour.
Not something I'd ask for, but if I had to I could eat it again.
C of course, polished of 3 pieces.

The last week and a half has been very quiet, just more job searching for me.
And trying to get the car sorted.
We have to give back the Lexus we inherited from C's predecessor, so we'd been trying to get a new car lease.
The problems with that have been monumental.
We're not residents, we don't have any history over here, C doesn't have a full license and you can only get a lease for a minimum of 2 years.

So today we finally got possession of the new car, which is a big silver Cadillac.
And I got a job.
Finally.

Hopefully now that we have both of those things sorted, life will be a little smoother...
Maybe ?
