  • This Old House

    October 3, 2019 / 2 Comments

    If you have been a long-time follower of the blog you would have followed our move from Australia to Canada and our first 12 months in Toronto.   Before I took a break from the blog,  the last post I wrote back in November 2016 was about our living arrangements. In a nutshell, we had been living and renting a condo in downtown Toronto for our first 12 months and we needed to make a decision when our lease was up for renewal.  Should we continue to rent or buy?  Stay in a condo or move back into a house?  Stay in Toronto or move elsewhere? The housing market at the time…

    If you follow me on Instagram (and if you aren’t, then why aren’t you?) you will be aware that over the last 12 months I have become obsessed with gardening.   When I’m not in the garden, I am reading about gardening, visiting garden centres and making plans for my garden.   My neighbours on either side have beautiful gardens and a combination of over 250 years of life and garden experience between them (basically they are impressively old).   They are my garden Wikipedia.   Having moved from Australia to Canada I’m gardening in a different planting zone.   A dramatically different planting zone.  Instead of drought-tolerant or tropical plants, they need…

    When we moved to Toronto we thought we would give condo living in the downtown core a trial.   At the end of next month,  our 1-year lease is up and it’s time to make some decisions about our housing future.

  • Where did the year go?

    November 5, 2016 / 21 Comments

    Last week was our one-year anniversary since we arrived in Canada.  I thought I might do a bit of a blog post about my thoughts on our first year as I am trying to distract myself. You see someone is coming to inspect something in our apartment and I have been told this will happen between the hours of 9 and 12, they will be accompanied by one of the security guards in our building so if I don’t answer the door they will just let themselves in, naturally this means an alarm clock has gone off in my bowels and I need to use the toilet as it always…

    July 1, 2016 / 4 Comments

    Yesterday was the last day of the school year for The-9-year-old and with mixed feelings, we have summer break …. Mixed feelings because they are off school for what seems like FOREVER! Well, 10 weeks to be precise, not that I’m counting or anything (1 morning down and only 68 days to go).

    It’s been a busy couple of weeks and I have been a little slack with the blog.   I’m pretty sure I have been slowly coming out of a Lobster Roll induced post-holiday,  coma.  Who would have thought that you can actually get sick of eating lobster? Sitting in my drafts folder I am midway through doing a post about our Martha’s Vineyard trip, in its current state, it is the size of a small novel and not wanting to put people in the land of zzz’s I will end up breaking it down and into smaller multiple posts. What’s been happening and keeping me OFF the streets?

    May 19, 2016 / 15 Comments

    The ATO and The CRA This week I’m loving the ATO (Australian Taxation Office)  and the CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency).  Weird right and not something you hear often, someone actually loving two of the most hated government agencies. Having previously been a small business owner the ATO would often be a name muttered under my breath along with several expletives in the same sentence.  What has brought on this sudden love fest?
