I just realised I hadn't blogged since our Mexico trip, which was 2 months ago now! Not much has been going on, just general every day life!Normally in winter we don't see blue sky except for a couple of days. This photo was in February on one of the rare sunny days - it was still about 0 degrees though! This is taken from downtown and looking over to the north shore. I love the view with the mountains in the background. If you look closely you can even see a float plane on the right hand side!
This is more a typical winters day - with the grey sky and the rain! The cables are for the electric buses that go around the city - there aren't many diesel ones around.
I was also lucky enough for Andrew to buy me a KitchenAid mixer in the boxing day sales! I've wanted a stand mixer ever since I left home - I grew up with Mum using hers a lot and always wanted one of my own. It was a crazy deal - $500 down to $200 - and has been getting good use!
Since I haven't been working, we haven't been going out quite as much for dinners as we used to. However we did go out for lunch one day, where Andrew ordered a burger.... and this is what arrived. It took a while for him to think about how to attack it!
We have also been lucky enough for our landlords to replace all our kitchen appliances - so we now have a stainless steel oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer! Very nice.
I have picked up some temp work, which is good. Nice to get out and meet new people! And the money is nice of course.
It's not too long to go and we should be out of winter - coming up we're going to the Bon Jovi concert later this month, and last month I went to see Chelsea Handler, who I think is hilarious! She was so funny, I walked out with sore cheeks.
