Before you read what I write. Read who I am.

Originally from Alberta and in the last number of years having been living in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are now living in Woolwich, London where we inhabit a wonderful little 2 floor flat in the Royal Arsenal. The family has grown over the years from being just my wife and I to the family of four we are now. My work has brought us to London for the next two years where for the first time in ages we will live in the same house for more than a birthday. The experience is written below from then till now. With a view of the Thames from our windows and boat ride to work the new life begins.

Days on Days

Well other than being sick for the last handfull of days and the weather turning quite Londony it's been good. Now tomorrow is supposed to be reasonable and Kate and I are finally getting an out day together. Jason and Tara are going to watch the kids while we go check out the Greenwich and Shoreditch markets and then I'm taking her to my most favorite pub in London - The White Hart Waterloo. I love that little pub.

Sunday may involve a trip to the Science Museum for 2 to 4 of us and that will be most excellent.

For those of you wondering how the settling in is going, I would say quite well in fact. The kids seem to be fairly oblivious to the change or are taking it all in quite nicely. Kate loves the area, loves the culture and moreover loves the limitless accents and languages around. I'm still enjoying feeling at home with my family around and also continuing to find some joy in all the little things around.

On another topic...

If you've never seen the work in the Idiotic Land by the ball point pen of SHOHEI... go check it out... just not at work or around your kids....

Firsts and Firsts

For some reason I am excited that my first payments to Council Tax and Utilities have gone through. It gives me a sense of happiness to know that we've set in by paying them.
