baseball, the first week,

48 hours after arriving, I went to my first baseball game. Peter and I had tickets up in the nosebleeds which were actually great spots (right behind home base) - and with my new long distance glasses I could see everything very clearly!

The first weekend was a blur of appointments and running around. Saturday I met with Janet from one of the major Canadian astrology schools to discuss some teaching opportunities - which look promising! We hit Ikea plus other random furniture stores, along with the supermarket etc to stock up on home and kitchen stuff. Our place is quite big (more than enough room for the two of us, Claire and Sebastian plus work/ studio space for both Peter and I) and since we are both basically starting over there is lots to pick up. The only essentials we are still arranging are book shelves (ordered and arriving in a week) and a work desk for me. The rest we'll add to over time.

Monday night (last week) Sebastian and Claire came over for dinner so I got to meet them. We had a fun night and a few laughs (one of which including me swearing, loudly, as I misread a joke Peter made!). Claire and Sebastian were also here over the weekend which was a blast.
Tuesday I had morning tea with Peter's sisters, Stephanie and Michelle, who I had met over the weekend (along with their husbands, Steve and Dave respectively). We had a good ol' gals gasbag. Steve, Dave and Peter all play in the same hockey team Sunday nights so we all go, plus Jessica and Sarah (Michelle and Dave's daughters) and every second weekend (when we have them) Claire and Sebastian too.
