In between looking after the puppy, making meals and washing up I spent much of the weekend taking it in turns with Mike to read the last Harry Potter book. The kids weren't particularly interested, although I have read all the earlier books to them. Think this one might be one that they have to read for themselves when they're a bit older. I knew I'd have to finish it on Sunday or I'd be unable to do anything approaching work until I had.
Got a dog licence for Toby yesterday. For our $20 we got the licence itself, which lasts until the end of March, and a metal dog tag (yes, literally) with the number of the beast on it - 660 in this case. We also registered him with a vet in Trenton. We haven't managed to register the humans with a doctor yet though.
I had a bit of crisis of confidence about this blog the other day. I remembered those horrible round-robin Christmas newsletters that some people send out - the ones that tell you how wonderfully people you've often never heard of are doing in whatever they turn their hands to - and I wondered if by writing this blog I was doing the same sort of thing. I resolved my crisis by deciding that mostly I'm writing this blog for myself and those people I think might be interested - I'm not actually forcing anyone to read it if they don't want to. But that's the same for all blogs and bloggers, I suppose. I've just noticed that the spell-checker built into Blogger doesn't recognise the words blog, Blogger or bloggers. How strange.

When I read your blog, I like to listen to Rheostatics or Great Lake Swimmers.
Now I've found your blog, I will follow your Canadian adventures with interest. Blogging may feel narcissistic, but it isn't really, not when there a particular purpose to the blog.
Hi Amanda, I'm up to July last year and find it all fascinating: I stumbled across you via Becky's Serenity Garden.
No, no, not at all like a Mary Poppins Christmas round-robin - it's a great journal of your life-changing move. I love it. Right, now I'll continue bringing myself up to date...nothing will get done until I do!
