Top of the ladder

A letter requesting that we send our passports off to the Canadian High Commission arrived on Saturday. We posted them off today and will expect to get them back, complete with shiny visas, in a few weeks' time. Then we'll have to officially land in the country sometime before the end of August next year. So we've finally got to the front of the long queue (or somewhere near the front, anyway).

The stepladder-top pictured belongs to my father-in-law. I love the way it shows how much painting he's done over his lifetime, in a restrained-Jackson Pollock kind of way.
