We've been here nearly a month now. I've got the apartment clean (finally), we have some pictures hung up (more to do, though) and we have curtains hung over the patio window.
And I'm bored. Becoming a Domestic Goddess was never on my list of accomplishments, and I need a new project.
I'm not complaining, mind you. I am, however, waiting for Rod to pick me up so we can head into Hamilton and get me a rental bike (scooter) for a week. I've found a few quiet streets I can practice on and really get a feel for whether or not this is a good form of transportation for me. The buses are okay, but I'm not used to being tied to someone else's schedule - especially when that schedule seems to vary from day to day (gotta love "Island time"). I'm really itching to do some serious exploring and take a whole bunch of pictures.
We went out last night and had a beer with a couple of Rod's co-workers - Nick and Steve. They're both Canadians (from the Ottawa area) here on contract. We were at a pub called the Robin Hood - the same place we went to watch the Superbowl last month. (Okay, we weren't really interested in the Superbowl, but Nick was throwing himself a birthday party also)
Some good news - my immigration paperwork is approved and pending signature!!! Time to start looking for a job.
And other good news - Rod's mom has her ticket to come visit and will be here for 3 weeks in April. Coincidentally, it's the same time period we were here in 2006 to see the Bermuda Masters Squash Tournament. I really hope she will enjoy herself here - our first visitor!
More info and pictures to come. Hugs to everyone at home.
Karen & Rod
