May 7th Doris Day!!

West View from Doris

Hello all. Just a mini blog today as I'm supposed to be packing and cleaning before we leave here. We'll be off line for a few days until the internet is activated in our new place on Doris Avenue. You can still email us but I'll be using a wifi spot in the building or at the coffee shop, like all the students, until the middle of the week, plus Eamonn can pick up emails on his phone. We'll also be without tv for a few days too - we haven't even bought one yet but hope to have it all sorted before G and A come  - next Saturday, exciting! Eamonn's currently building the furniture - he's quite enjoying it really and I help a bit but it's hard work. Appeals to his caveman side I think, thank goodness all that Meccano and Lego training has paid off! The guest bed was too big so had to go back, bit of a performance with lifts etc. Have had 2 big shopping sessions at Ikea - phew! and were not done yet. But the new sofa has passed the nap test. zzzzzzz

Just a quick summary of last couple of weeks: saw James Blunt - fab, sobbed through Royal Wedding - aaah, perfect; shipment arrived - 35 year old tat from home! - got to find places to put it now. Been on a very good art tour at the Art Gallery of Ontario and a heritage walk in town. Tell you more later. Spring has finally arrived, yay! So must get clearing up. Chat soon, with love, Mary and Eamonn xx
