Settling In

Chestnuts... (2/5)
Originally uploaded by Thorsten (TK)
So we are settling into our new location in a different neighborhood of Victoria, but we are certainly not unpacked. Yes we have moved again because of the need for more space but we haven't moved far from our last location. We are slowly going through our storage and trying to part with as many things as we possibly do not use. We have less furniture this time around and so unpacking is a wee bit harder a task at the present moment.

While taking a nice stroll on our day off today with P, we both counted moving roughly 4 times in the past 5 years. That's a lot of moves if you really ask me. Add an extra 2 moves from Europe, France and Switzerland and I've done about 8 moves in the last 8 years. Phew - I'm tired just thinking about it all!


There have been many things on my mind lately, considering my lack of posts. Here's a summary of a few of them.

1. Roasting Chestnuts (see yummy photo) - I found this easy roasting recipe. I had no idea it was that easy to do in an oven.
2. Cooking in the oven, and more eating as I haven't had one for the past year!
3. Swimming way too much and not having the energy to blog.
4. Wanting to do more photography and post it but not having the energy or time to do it.
5. Wishing and wanting a vacation but will have to enjoy my few days off that I have around town.
6. Add to that the lack of sunshine, and I can only dream of being on the opposite side of the equator for the next 6 months!

This week was a little harder to search for me but I recalled viewing the Snowbirds last September here in Victoria.  Here are two super cool shots of Canada's Military stunt pilots.



The Snowbirds are Canada's military aerobatics or air show flight demonstration team.


All of these planes are red and white.
