Taking advantage of the fact that we don’t need to wear a coat on #sundayfunday

I’m totally stating the obvious here but as I have mentioned 10 million times my goal in life is to eventually move and settle in Europe. Is is going to happen? I don’t want to say “probably not” because that would be defeatist so I will just say hopefully and keep my fingers crossed.  The cities that are on my shortlist are London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Copenhagen. I have always been drawn to Copenhagen. Maybe it is my ancestry coming through (I am supposed to have a large part of Danish in my history but I have yet to do the ancestry.ca DNA test to verify that). These cities being on my shortlist for permanent settlement is why I am thinking about centring our next vacation around them. Also, Tom’s job is in tv/film so a move to England could lead to employment since they make so many awesome tv shows and movies there. One word (or three letters) BBC, most of my favourite shows come from there. Continue Reading

Winter picture #winterfashion

Before I get to the point of this post I just wanted to mention again how utterly bizarre this winter is. The picture on the left was what I wore early last week (with a light jacket). It looks like what I normally wear in the summer/early fall. The picture on the right was this week with a huge parka over because we had some of our coldest days of the season. Then tomorrow it supposed to be 10°C and all the snow from the snow storms this week melt. It doesn’t seem that big a deal but if you experience the winters we usually get this is a very strange year. I’m not complaining though, because while I like winter I prefer to be able to walk destinations without my face freezing off and disappearing in a snow drift. Continue Reading
