Sorry Bette, the living situation sounds hard, even without the extra stuff.I'm in a bit of a mess, so bear with me. I'm struggling with a very old relationship (never lived together in 23 years), end of life stuff (or maybe not, if they get their s**t together and proceed with dialysis), and trying to do it with two questions in mind, "how do you want this to be at the end; work backwards from that" and "live your values".
We now have a new cafe here with very yummy bread, cake, cookies and an international section of food- yes, including vegimite. I restraint myself from buying it, wouldn’t know what to do with it. Also had all kinds of british sweets and tea and some german stuff. Not cheap.Sending you a hug @BetteTheRed I know this has been difficult.
Thanks for the cart Red. I have some delicious ANZAC cookies to share thanks to an Aussie friend. She and @PilgrimsProgress have been chatting on my FB feed. Stay tuned re: the Vegimite.
That sounds like a GREAT place! Congrats to settling in & feeling life to be more stableWe rented a beautiful small house in a nice, walkable neighbourhood, and just a 10-minute bus ride to work.
It is a restored character building, with beautiful ceiling decorations, old crystal chandeliers, high baseboards, etc., with a big living room, a big dining room, one big bedroom, and new kitchen and bathroom. The laundry is downstairs in the basement. There's a nice backyard, a deck, and a garage.
We moved the 29, and got everything set on Sunday and Canada Day.
It is a very good sensation to finally move to a beautiful place and a good neighbourhood. I start feeling like my life is getting back to order.
I can't compare it to Northern Ontario, but WInnipeg is known for their mosquitos.Isn't Winnipeg windy and dry-ish like the rest of the prairies? (i.e. not mosquito country like N. Ontario?) Didn't spend a lot of time there. Found the MEC in Winnipeg via Google-maps. Spent one night in Brandon on way out, none on way back.
BTW, Giancarlo, love interesting ceilings. My home (a post-war bungalow) has hand-plastered ceilings and crown mouldings.

P.S. - how are the Winnipeg mosquitos??
I love ceilings, too. Yours sound beautiful! I lived in a 1930s apartment in Rio some years ago which also had hand-plastered ceilings and crown mouldings, as our new home also does. But this apartment in Rio looked grandiose, as the whole building has been designed by and for an aristocratic family in a scenic location.

As for the mosquitoes, a lot of people are saying they are gone for three years now.
I remember when I used to visit Edmonton in the summer, and there were clouds of mosquitos every evening - evening especially. I got eaten alive. One year they didn’t spray for them and heading out to Klondike Days was a quite bit of a nuisance. My grandma always insisted on putting vinegar on my bites, so I smelled like vinegar the whole time I was there.I can't compare it to Northern Ontario, but WInnipeg is known for their mosquitos.
Compared to Calgary & Edmonton, it's humid in the summer.
